Season 2 brought a lot of weapon changes to Call of Duty: Warzone and apparently not all were noted in the patch notes. A secret and possibly accidental change has made the PPSh an OP sensation of the highest order – we show you the values and setup on MeinMMO.
This is the situation:
- Season 2 launched on February 14 and brought a multitude of weapon adjustments to Call of Duty: Warzone
- However, the patch notes mainly noted nerfs and adjustments for the Vanguard weapon attachments
- Now it has come to light – the PPSh from Vanguard received an over-buff and could be the strongest OP weapon in Warzone history
PPSh from Vanguard – ‘Everyone will play it!’
What went wrong with the update? With Season 2, many weapons changed in Warzone – the submachine gun PPSh was also part of the patch notes. The barrel “ZAC 300mm” was adjusted.
However, the CoD community was sure: Something more happened with the MP.
So many players summoned the data gurus “JGOD” and “TrueGameData”, who examined the weapon closely and indeed: The PPSh from Vanguard has received the most intense buff in Warzone history.
The damage has significantly increased. With chest hits, time-to-kill values of nearly 400 milliseconds are now possible. 500 milliseconds are already considered very strong in Warzone.
“TrueGameData” chooses as the title for his YouTube video about the PPSh “Strongest OP Weapon in Warzone History?” and shows how much more damage per hit the weapon now causes in the first damage range:
- Head: +11 damage to 45
- Neck: +20 damage to 45
- Chest: +9 damage to 33
- Stomach: +10 damage to 33
Due to the adjustments, you need 3 or 4 bullets less for a kill compared to before. JGOD says: “There’s no reason not to play this weapon now”. TrueGameData goes even further: “Everyone will play the weapon”.
CoD Warzone: PPSh Setup – More OP is not possible
What does a strong setup look like? Currently, you can play almost anything with the weapon. As long as you can handle it, you have an advantage over the competing weapons.
We show you here 2 setups for different applications:
- TrueGameData setup with low recoil as sniper support
- JGOD setup for close combat with high rate of fire
Use the close combat setup if you are looking for maximum damage. Choose the sniper support setup if you want to benefit from the OP power of the PPSh at longer distances.

Will it stay that way? Currently, everything seems to be a mistake. The values are completely out of line and the weapon is far too strong compared to the competition.
So be prepared for a nerf of this heavy OP weapon soon.
Until then, however, the PPSh is the best weapon in Warzone and should clean up on Caldera. If you are now looking for a suitable secondary weapon for range, check out our list of the remaining best weapons in Warzone.
