How do you unlock the PPSh-41 in BO6 and Warzone Season 2?

You can unlock the PPSh-41 in the Season 2 Battle Pass on Page 6 as an HVT Tier Reward or from a Blueprint on Page 14. The new season arrives on Jan. 28, 2025, so you must wait until then. Once it drops, you’ll likely have the choice of getting it for free with enough XP or through a premium purchase for those who want to get it instantly.

To get the PPSh-41 for free, you can stꦯart farming for XP by simp💞ly playing the game. Using tokens is always a good way to go, and there may be another Double XP Weekend event that could help you out even more. Plus, you can rely on Daily Challenges to get around 2,500 to 5,000 XP.

Like many SMGs, PPSh-41 thrives in close-range combat, excelling in rapid-fire and damage rates. However, you may want to t🥂weak its build to improve ♐recoil control and handling. SMGs are known to have issues with these two stats, but thankfully, a quick change to attachments can be highly beneficial.

Equip any muzzle to the PPSh-41 to help with recoil control, and attach a stock to get a better grip on handling. You can also equip an extended magazine to compensate for this SMG’s relatively low 32-mag size. The rest of the build depends on your preference, whether with optics or barrels to increase damage.

The more you play around with the PPSh-41, the more likely you’ll earn unique camos for this build. Use the new Challenge Tracking system to keep track of your progress, earning you designs for BO6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. The PPSh-41 is excellent for BO6 Zombies, in particular, as it’s been widely used in several undead iterations.
