The Remington 870 is a U.S.-made pump action shotgun manufactured by Remington, widely used by civilians, militaries, and law enforcement around the world.
Overview[ | ]
The Remington 870 has a slower rate of fire than the M1014 and only has a bead sight, making slugs ineffective at range due to low accuracy. It is generally inferior to the M1014 in every way, but is still a decent weapon. Although shotguns are often disregarded is useless weapons, They are extremely deadly if the proper ammunition is used. Pellets, even if fired from an Izh43 Shotgun, will instantly kill a target if at least 6 of them hit. Slugs do little damage but are accurate enough out to about 100-150m.
Ammunition[ | ]
The Remington 870 uses 8rnd Slugs or 8rnd Pellets only, though 2rnd Slugs and Pellets can be re-combined into 8rnd Slugs/Pellets.
Trivia[ | ]
- Interestingly enough, the in-game model features the old-type Wingmaster pump, but the stock is the new Express type.
- Before the introduction of Attachments, the Remington 870 was permanently fitted with a Flashlight.
