The PPSh-41 is now in Warzone as of Season 2, introducing a classic submachine gun that dominates up close if you use a meta loadout.

There are several top tier SMG you can use in the current meta making it tricky to know what’s best. The addition of the PPSh has only made that decision even harder, with it being yet another top-tier option that you’ll want to consider.

Before judging if it’s the gun for you or not, you’ll want to make sure you are using a build that makes the most of its strengths. To do this, use the loadout below, which has been optimized using both in-game stats and personal feel.

PPSh-41 loadout attachments

Muzzle: Compensator

Barrel: Reinforced Barrel

Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip

Magazine: Extended Mag II

Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

THe PPSh-41’s biggest problem is its sporadic recoil, which can be mitigated by using both the Compensator and the Vertical Foregrip. The foregrip is especially important as it reduces horizontal recoil, an area where this classic SMG otherwise struggles.

You’ll want to use the Recoil Springs to make this build even more accurate. Although the boost provided by this attachment is smaller than the other two, it all adds up to make the PPSh-41 accurate enough to compete against Warzone’s best guns.

The Reinforced Barrel is another great option, as it improves both damage range and bullet velocity. If you are looking to stretch out this gun’s effective range and be as competitive as possible, this is a must-use attachment that makes a huge difference.

Last but not least, the Extended Mag II increases the PPSH’s magazine capacity from 32 rounds to 55 rounds. That’s a impressive 72% increase, which is very useful given this gun’s fast fire rate means you’ll be constantly reloading without it.
