Rumors are circulating that the iconic PPSH-41 submachine gun could be making a comeback in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2, based on recent leaks. Last week, developer Treyarch Studios hinted at the return of a well-known SMG with the Season 2 update on January 28. While speculation initially pointed towards the MP40, data miner findings now suggest the PPSH-41, last seen in Call of Duty: Vanguard, might be the chosen weapon.
Treyarch hasn't officially revealed the full details for Season 2 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone, but the launch date is confirmed for January 28. Following an extended Season 1, players are excited to discover the new content. However, due to ongoing issues with Warzone, Activision has prioritized bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, leading to a smaller content drop than initially planned.

Last week, Treyarch Studios teased the inclusion of a classic SMG in the upcoming Black Ops 6 Season 2. In a blog post about the next Zombies map, the studio mentioned an 'iconic' SMG would be joining the fray. Many immediately suspected the MP40, but data miner HeyImAlaix's leak now points towards the PPSH-41. The discovered file named 't10_sm_p41_perth' contains 'p41,' leading fans to believe it refers to the PPSH-41.
Treyarch remains tight-lipped about the returning SMG, but with Season 2's release date approaching, more information is expected soon. Activision's community update briefly mentioned 'new maps, modes, and rewards' launching on day one. Additionally, various gameplay enhancements and bug fixes are planned, including a new challenge tracker, separate HUD presets for Multiplayer and Zombies, reduced teammate collision for better movement, and more.
Season 2 carries significant weight as Call of Duty's player base on Steam has declined since Black Ops 6 launched in October. Despite a strong initial reception, over half of the Steam players have dropped off. While the reasons vary, many attribute the decline to the current state of Warzone and Black Ops 6's Ranked Play modes. Cheaters and various bugs are plaguing the experience, leading players to hope for significant improvements in Season 2.
