Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The PPSh-41 is a Season 3 SMG in Black Ops Cold War that Charlie INTEL says can quickly take down a whole team. It got a useful bump in the 2 September 2021 update, raising the 15.7" Task Force barrel's damage bonus from 4% to 7%. Use Charlie INTEL's full Gunfighter class, published the next day. It is a Season 5 build, so Season 6 is not reflected.
Best PPSh-41 loadout
Source: Charlie INTEL, 3 September 2021 (Season 5). GamesAtlas confirms all eight attachments.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Optic | Microflex LED | Clean sight |
| Muzzle | KGB Eliminator | Bigger recoil reduction |
| Barrel | 15.7" Task Force | Large damage boost at little cost elsewhere |
| Body | KGB Target Designator | Reveal distance; no figure given |
| Underbarrel | Spetsnaz Grip | Charlie INTEL says it helps turn the gun into a laser |
| Magazine | Fast Mag | Chosen as capacity is already generous |
| Handle | Speed Grip | Boosts ADS time |
| Stock | Raider Stock | More movement while still snapping to targets |
| Wildcard | Gunfighter | Allows eight attachments |
| Perk 1 | Tactical Mask | Immune to Gas Mine effects |
| Perk 2 | Assassin | Earns valuable points |
| Perk 3 | Gung-Ho | Reload on the move; quick weapon switching |
Why this build works
The gun already has plenty of ammo, so Charlie INTEL skips the larger drums and takes a Fast Mag. That frees the build to push damage and recoil control, then recover handling with the Speed Grip and Raider Stock. Charlie INTEL's Season 5 tier list placed the PPSh-41 in S-Tier alongside the OTs 9 and TEC-9.
How to play it
Take fights head-on and rely on the large magazine to chain kills. Gung-Ho favours constant running, so plan routes rather than holding angles. Assassin works best with Scorestreaks that suit your team, though Charlie INTEL names none.
Unlock notes
GamesAtlas dates the PPSh-41 to 22 April 2021, free at Tier 15 of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Charlie INTEL gives the later challenges: 3 kills immediately after sprinting across 15 completed matches using SMGs, or in Zombies, 50 Special or Elite enemies killed while ensnared in your Toxic Growth.
