To start out we have the Recoil Booster Muzzle, perhaps the most important pick in the entire setup. This attachment boosts your fire rate, drastically improving damage output as a result.

The ZAC 300mm Barrel is the first of many picks that aim to improve recoil control. Similarly, that’s where the ZAC Folding Stock comes into play to keep your shots on point.

Initial accuracy is key for the PPSh-41, as you’ll rarely be holding down the trigger.

Now, to improve mobility, there are four key attachments that can’t be overlooked. First up is the Mark VI Skeletal Underbarrel. This pick buffs your ADS speed, letting you snap onto a target with the PPSh-41 faster than usual.

The same can be said for the Fabric Grip Rear Grip to further improve this stat, and the Slate Reflector Optic also goes a long way to helping you get in and out of gunfights as quickly as possible.

Rounding out this loadout we have Tight Grip and Fully Loaded for the two weapon Perks. The former provides a final boost to recoil control during sustained fire, while the latter ensures you won’t run dry on ammo during intense firefights.

Best PPSh-41 Warzone class: Perks & Equipment

Picking the right equipment is just as important as the right attachments.
  • Perk 1: E.O.D.
  • Perk 2: Overkill
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Stim

Keeping in line with most meta loadouts in Warzone, this PPSh-41 build comes equipped with EOD to soak up explosive damage and Overkill so you can bring along another primary weapon.

Then, we went for Amped to let players to switch between their two weapons at a rapid rate. Since you’ll mainly be using the PPSh-41 for close-range fights, this Perks allows you to adapt quickly if you suddnely need something more range.

When it comes to equipment, there’s no looking past the classic Frag Grenade and Stims. While the health regain from Stims is certainly important, it’s the speed boosts that make all the difference.

Popping a Stim at the right time can have you soaring into a fight and taking down foes before they can ever react.

How to unlock the PPSh-41 in Warzone

If the fast-firing PPSh-41 isn’t quite doing it for you, an Assault Rifle like the Cooper Carbine could be the best fit, or even the Welgun. It’s still a relatively new gun as it arrived in Season 1, it’s quickly become a problem in Caldera.

Using our optimal Cooper Carbine loadout can have you tearing through squads at much longer distances than the PPSh-41. You will lose a little of your agility, but it’s a great alternative when you want to mix things up.
