R870 is the default Shotgun, which can be used by both Ninjas and Juggernauts. The R870's custom version is the highly improved Defriender.
Appearance[]
The R870 is a traditional pump-action shotgun, with a black-gray mixed color tone. The pump under the barrel has the black color and features an additional flashlight.
Description[]
The R870 is a Shotgun. It has the highest range of regular Shotguns and the second highest accuracy. Its rate of fire and damage are average.
Overview[]
The R870 is one of the best shotguns. Later in the game, you will unlock TAC 12, but that weapon is much less effective due to it's bad accuracy, much shorter range and impact. It is best to keep R870 with both classes until you get its custom version, the Defriender.
Ninjas can score many stealth kills with this, especially with the Chameleon trait which makes them invisible. However, the trait works only when the Ninja is away from the enemy and not firing, so shotguns don't have much effect there. However, the R870's long range makes this job easy. You can easily kill most lower level enemies and Snipers with a few shots. This weapon is also one the best choices for the Juggernaut.
Advanced Rifling helps to improve the range, even though the R870 already has the longest out of all shotguns without the attachment. If the reloading sequence takes too much time, you can modify it with the Drum Mag, but that way you also lose 30% of its ammo.

Trivia[]
