Best PPSh-41 Loadout in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

In *Black Ops 6* Multiplayer, the PPSh-41 shines with its high capacity and rapid fire rate, making it ideal for close-quarters combat and achieving multi-kills. However, its recoil can be challenging, especially when aiming for headshots during camo challenges. Here's the optimal loadout to enhance its performance:

• Compensator – Improves Vertical Recoil Control.
• Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II – Increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it impacts Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
• Balanced Stock – Boosts Hipfire Movement Speed, Strafing Movement Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, and overall Movement Speed.

This setup significantly improves the PPSh-41's accuracy and mobility, making it perfect for flanking and surprise attacks. However, be mindful of its fast ammo consumption. To enhance your aggressive playstyle, consider these perks:

• Perk 1: Flak Jacket – Reduces incoming explosive and fire damage.
• Perk 2: Assassin – Enemies on a kill streak get a unique minimap marker and drop Bounty Packs when killed, which you can pick up for more Score.
• Perk 3: Double Time – Greatly increases the duration of Tactical Sprint.
• Perk Greed: Scavenger – Resupply ammo and Equipment from killed enemies, granting the Enforcer Combat Specialty for temporary boosts in movement speed and health regeneration upon kills.

PPSh-41 Loadout Changes for Ranked Play

Ranked Play in *Black Ops 6* has a different set of available attachments and perks. Adjust your PPSh-41 loadout by replacing the Extended Magazine II with Recoil Springs, as the former is not available in Ranked Play. Here are the recommended perks for this mode:

• Perk 1: Dexterity
• Perk 2: Fast Hands
• Perk 3: Double Time
• Perk 4: Flak Jacket

Best PPSh-41 Loadout for Black Ops 6 Zombies

Zombies players have a special connection with the PPSh-41, thanks to its high fire rate and magazine capacity, which deliver exceptional damage per second. This makes it a top choice for mowing down hordes while staying agile, especially in close-quarters maps like The Tomb. Here's the ideal setup for *Black Ops 6* Zombies:

• Suppressor – Increases the chance to drop extra salvage.
• Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range.
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control.
• Extended Mag II – Increases Magazine Ammo Capacity from 32 to 55 rounds, though it impacts Aim Down Sight Speed, Reload Quickness, and Sprint to Fire Speed.
• Quickdraw Stock – Significantly improves Aim Down Sight Speed.
• Steady Aim Laser – Enhances Hipfire Spread.
• Recoil Springs – Improves Horizontal and Vertical Recoil Control.

This configuration ensures the PPSh-41 remains accurate and mobile, perfect for securing critical kills. Note that attachments like the CHF Barrel and Rapid Fire are less effective due to their recoil increase relative to their benefits.

To optimize your PPSh-41 loadout in Zombies, focus on enhancing your reload time and critical kill capabilities. Use Speed Cola with the Classic Formula Major Augment and the Dead Head Major Augment for Deadshot Daiquiri to boost your critical damage.
