Tips & tricks[]
- Just like most of 12-gauge shotguns, the M870 lacks good range. It is best used during night combat by camouflaged mercs with Sneaky trait and/or Agility at least 80, so they can approach the enemy from behind and exploit the weapon's power.
- Another use is to deploy the Remington against Bloodcats. Since the felines lack a ranged attack, two rested and not encumbered mercs with Remington shotguns have chances of dispatching a single Bloodcat before it comes too close. The main drawback of this tactics is that Bloodcats usually attack in packs, therefore assault rifles with HP ammunition perform better.
Jagged Alliance: Online variants[]
- the Junk variant
- two Common variants (Level 28 and Level 33)
- the Uncommon variant
- the Assault 870 (Rare) variant
- 870's Liberty (PvP) variant
Trivia[]
- Most of the variants from Jagged Alliance:Online are apparently the compact variants of the Remington 870 with foldable metal stock, with the sole exception of the Junk variant (a sawed-off weapon) and the 870's Liberty, the only solid-stock version seen in the game.
- The Junk variant was a Loot weapon, while the remaining versions could be bought by the player.
