The iconic PPSH-41 is back in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
, reinvigorating the SMG family with its blistering rate of fire and excellent mobility stats. It’s a powerhouse in both Multiplayer and Zombies, but that’s only if you use the right combination of attachments.

Out of the box, the PPSH suffers from horrendous recoil and a pitiful magazine size. But thanks to the Gunsmith, you can turn the PPSH-41 into one of the strongest weapons in Black Ops 6. Today, we’ll be showing two builds that help the PPSH reach its full potential, one for Multiplayer and another for Zombies.
How To Unlock The PPSH-41
The PPSH-41 is unlocked through the Season 2 Battle Pass. It is the final reward on Page 6, requiring at least 29 Battle Pass tokens to unlock. Blackcell owners may choose to unlock this page early to gain faster access. Unlocking the weapon through the Battle Pass or an in-game bundle will leave it permanently unlocked for Multiplayer and Zombies,
Once Season 2 is over, the PPSH-41 will be moved to the Armory Unlocks system. Select this weapon in the Armory menu to passively unlock it through XP.

The PPSH-41 is a monstrous SMG for Multiplayer, provided you can control the weapon’s equally monstrous recoil. Fortunately, the Gunsmith can help with this. A Vertical Grip is mandatory to get the weapon’s zig-zag recoil pattern under control, which we can further clamp with a Compensator muzzle. If you throw on Recoil Springs as your fire mod, you’ll have an SMG with virtually zero recoil for the first 15 shots.
Now that the recoil is under control, we can upgrade the weapon’s overall lethality. Extended Mags II greatly increases your magazine size, and a Long Barrel gives a sizable increase to your effective damage range. We finish the build with an optic, a Quickdraw Stock, and a Target Laser.
Loadout Recommendations

Red perks are ideal here, so we’ll be speccing for the Enforcer specialty. Kills will kickstart your HP regeneration and grant a temporary speed boost, two useful traits for an SMG build. To gain this set bonus, we use three red perks: Scavenger, Assassin, and Double Time. Throw on the Gunfighter Wildcard to complete the build.

Not many changes are needed to make the PPSH excel in Zombies. Compared to our MP build, we opt to replace a couple of attachments. The Vertical Foregrip is replaced with a Ranger Foregrip for bonus sprint speed, and we’ve opted to drop Recoil Springs for Rapid Fire instead, providing a minor fire rate buff at the cost of more recoil. Since accuracy isn’t as important in Zombies, the loss in recoil control is hardly an issue.
