The fan-favorite PPSH-41 SMG returns in Call of Duty: Vanguard, and FaZe Swagg believes he has the best loadout for it.

Vanguard has a wide array of SMGs to choose from. The MP40 has been trending a lot recently, but there’s another classic Call of Duty weapon that just might take its place.

The PPSH-41 returns in Vanguard, but it is quite different from the Cold War variant. FaZe Swagg’s recent video showcased this weapon, as well as what attachments you can use to make it “broken.”

FaZe Swagg’s “broken” Vanguard PPSH-41 loadout

faze swagg shows off PPSH
  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
  • Barrel: ZAC 300MM
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Kovalevskaya Skeletal
  • Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
  • Magazine: 8MM Nambu 71 Round Mags
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
  • Proficiency: Tight Grip
  • Kit: Quick

Let’s start with the Mercury Silencer, as this will not only keep your bullets silenced, but also help with recoil control. To counter the reduction in damage range, the Lengthened Ammo Type will increase bullet velocity.

Next, the ZAC 300MM barrel, Carver Foregrip, Tight Grip, and Stippiled Grip will all combine to improve the weapon’s recoil control, recoil recovery, and hip-fire accuracy.

The 8MM Nambu 71 Round Mags will help you take down multiple targets without having to reload. This is especially essential as the Vanguard PPSH-41 has an extremely fast fire rate.

To increase your mobility with this close-ranged beast, you’re going to want the Quick kit and Kovalevskaya Skeletal stock. These will make you faster with the weapon so that you can stay on the move and gun enemies down.

This is the loadout that FaZe Swagg is using for “one of the most popular guns of all time.” Unlike the previous variants, the Vanguard PPSH-41has an “insanely fast fire rate,” making it one of the best SMGs in the game.

The PPSH-41 is a monster up-close, as FaZe Swagg says it is “absolutely bizzurk,” killing enemies extremely quickly. Players will have to grind for this weapon though, as it is unlocked at Level 51.
