History[]
The M870 is based on the Remington Model 870, an American pump-action shotgun designed for sporting, hunting, and law enforcement use. Internally, its mechanisms are similar to those of Remington's 7600 series of centerfire rifles; the gun feeds ammunition from a tubular underbarrel magazine, ranging from 12 to 28 gauge shells, and ejects spent casings from a side port operated with a horizontal pump foregrip.
Since its debut in 1950, the Model 870 currently holds the record for the best-selling shotgun in history. It comes in a variety of bores, alternate grips and stocks, and even as an underslung rifle attachment for breaching actions. In Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, the M870 Express and Military M870 variants are based on the 870 Express Field Gun and 870 Express Tactical, respectively.
Usage[]
Among the pump-action weapons in Tom Clancy's The Division 2, the M870 has lower damage, more recoil, and a smaller shell capacity compared to the SPAS-12 in exchange for more robust customization and a slightly faster fire rate. Thanks to its ample attachment slots, these flaws can be addressed by modding it for faster Reload Speed and better Stability, potentially cutting its reload time nearly in half and allowing for emergency top-ups in the heat of combat.
Its small five-round tube magazine means the M870 demands more careful aim and is less suited to blindfiring than other Shotguns due to its narrow spread and strong vertical kick. With luck, a solid close-range blast will almost always stagger a target long enough to ready a follow-up shot.
