The PP-29 is one of the best weapons in Battlefield 2042, being deadly accurate with minimal recoil. Here are the attachments, Gadgets, and Specialist you should use to create the best PP-29 loadout in Battlefield 2042.

Even though it’s an SMG, the PP-29 is one of the most accurate weapons in Battlefield 2042. It doesn’t suffer from the bullet spread mechanic that plagues Assault Rifles and Marksman Rifles, so it’s one of the best all-around weapons in the game.

And it can be made even better with the right attachments, Specialist, and Gadget – so here’s how to build the best PP-29 loadout in Battlefield 2042.

Best PP-29 loadout attachments in Battlefield 2042

  • Barrel: Extended Barrel / Suppressor
  • Sight: Fusion Holo
  • Ammo: Standard Issue
  • Underbarrel: Default

To start this PP-29 loadout, we recommend having both the Extended Barrel and Suppressor in your attachment Plus System screen. The Extended Barrel is perfect for moving between Objectives where you need some more range, and then you can switch to the Suppressor when you’re near enemies to be silent and stealthy.

For the sight, there’s no better option than the Fusion Holo. It’s the standard red dot sight, which gives perfect clarity in the kind of fights you’ll be taking with the PP-29.

And for the magazine, Standard Issue is a solid choice. You’ll get 65 rounds in the magazine, and it will give solid boosts to the recoil control, reload speed, and rate of fire. And there aren’t any Underbarrel options, so you don’t need to worry about that.

Best Specialist to use with PP-29 in Battlefield 2042

You want a Specialist that allows you to be as nimble as possible while navigating the map with the PP-29, and this is where Mackay comes in.

Mackay’s Grappling Hook is one of the most useful tools in the game, allowing him to quickly reach the high ground and get out of less-than-ideal situations fast. And his Nimble Trait speeds up your movement speed while aiming, making you a difficult target.

Best Gadget to use with PP-29 in Battlefield 2042

For the best Gadget to run with the PP-29, we recommend using the Recoilless M5 launcher.

Hovercrafts, tanks, and helicopters roam the battlefield spelling death for anyone caught in their way. With the Recoilless, you have a bit of defense, being able to deal serious damage to any nearby vehicles.

How to unlock PP-29 in Battlefield 2042

Battlefield 2042 players can unlock the PP-29 at Level 18 in multiplayer, which makes it one of the earlier unlocks.

It shouldn’t take too long to reach level 18, but prioritize playing the objective to rack up points and you’ll reach it before you know it.

Best alternatives to the PP-29 in Battlefield 2042

SMGs have quickly become some of Battlefield 2042’s best weapons, and there are some extremely solid choices.

The PBX-45 will be the first SMG you unlock as you’re leveling up, which makes it ideal until you unlock the PP-29. Then you can unlock the K30 SMG later, which proved to be a powerful and agile choice in the Beta.


And that’s everything you need to make the best PP-29 loadout in Battlefield 2042!
