Season 5 of Warzone is well underway and as players continue to drop onto Caldera, Fortune's Keep, and Rebirth Island, many are starting to utilise the PPSH submachine gun from Vanguard to gain the upper hand over the opposition.
Armed with an incredible rate of fire, the PPSH is capable of excelling in close-quarters combat. However, due to its fast fire rate, the recoil is tricky to tame. Thankfully, the Gunsmith allows you to customise the gun to suit all styles of play.

Best Vanguard PPSH-41 Warzone perks and equipment
Once the attachments have been equipped, selecting how the rest of the loadout will function is equally as important. Find the best perks to use along with a deadly combination of equipment to deal further damage below.
Perks
- Double Time (Perk 1)
- Overkill (Perk 2)
- Amped (Perk 3)
The Double Time perk utilises the incredible mobility of the PPSH, doubling the length of Tactical Sprint, making it very easy to navigate Caldera. Overkill gives you the ability to equip two primary weapons in the same loadout while Amped provides a significant decrease in weapon swap speed, enabling you to switch between the weapons.
Equipment
- Throwing Knife (Lethal)
- Stim (Tactical)
The Throwing Knife is the fastest way to guarantee a kill when an opponent is downed. Alongside the throwables, the Stim provides instant health regeneration alongside a temporary speed boost.
Is the Vanguard PPSH good in Warzone?
Having used the PPSH when up close and personal with the opposition, I can safely say that the SMG excels thanks to the fire rate. It shreds through armour plates with ease and sends your target to the Gulag in the blink of an eye. I can certainly see it becoming a hugely popular weapon of choice as Season 5 progresses.
