— Battlelog description
The 870MCS is a weapon featured in Battlefield 3.
Singleplayer[]
The 870MCS is used by the USMC, and the PLR forces. The shotgun is also one of the default weapons in Operation Guillotine. The National Police can be seen using the 870MCS in Comrades.
Co-Op[]
The 870MCS is used by the PLR in the mission Exfiltration and is also the secondary weapon for both players in the mission The Eleventh Hour.
Multiplayer[]
The 870MCS is the first shotgun available to players in multiplayer, since it is already accessible at level one. It has the highest damage and longest range of all the shotguns in the game, however the SPAS-12 has a tighter spread allowing for more consistent longer range shots.
Even for a pump-action weapon, the rate of fire of the 870MCS is quick enough to fire follow-up shots much faster than Battlefield: Bad Company 2's version. Sporting a 5-shell capacity (one in the chamber and four in the tube magazine), it can kill with a single shot at close range, or two to three shots at medium range.
Sights/optics (such as the Reflex, and rifle scope) and ammo (12 Gauge Slug, 12 Gauge Frag, and 12 Gauge Flechette) replacements can also be unlocked for this shotgun.
The use of extended magazines changes the visual appearance of the 870MCS. As with most weapons, reloading takes much longer if the player does not have a shell chambered already. The 870MCS does have the advantage of being able to fire while reloading.
