The 870 Combat appears in both the base game of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and its Vietnam expansion.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2[]

"The 870 Modular Combat Shotgun is a powerful shotgun ideal in close quarters battle where breaching and stopping power is critical. It can be configured for multi-mission roles with various ammunition combinations."

— In-game description

The 870 Combat is a weapon featured in the multiplayer of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

It is the first shotgun available to the player, unlocked once the player reaches rank 1. Its buckshot pellets provides effective close range firepower, usually resulting in a 1-shot kill at very close range, though its performance quickly deteriorates at longer ranges.

It has a default capacity of 4 shells, and increased range. If used with the Extended Shotgun Magazine, it can hold 8 shells, making it much more effective in large scale combat. It can also use the 12 Gauge Slugs for it to fire single long range projectiles, where it can kill in a single headshot at all ranges.

The 870 Combat has exactly the same stats as the Neostead 2000 Combat and SPAS-12 Combat in terms of damage, damage multipliers, accuracy, recoil and rate of fire, though it has a slightly faster reload than the SPAS-12, and a slower reload than the Neostead 2000.

It is possible to reload cancel, but this is less effective then it would be with the Neostead 2000, reload canceling after a shot, by switching to an other weapon, will effectively cut the pump animation and double your fire rate, some practice is needed though.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam[]

"The 870 Modular Combat Shotgun is a powerful shotgun ideal in close quarters battle where breaching and stopping power is critical. It can be configured for multi-mission roles with various ammunition combinations."

— In-game description

The 870 Combat is a weapon featured in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion as an all-kit weapon. It performs similarly to the 870 Combat in the base game, but it has higher damage up close.

Like in the base game, it has a default capacity of four shells and can be modified with the Extended Shotgun Magazine to have eight shells, and/or 12 Gauge Slugs to fire single long range projectiles.

Unlike in the base game, the 870 is the Vietnam expansion's only shotgun, and as such fills an anti-personnel role at close range that can not be compared to any other weapon available in the expansion.

Trivia[]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam[]

  • The 870 Combat in Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam shares the same description as the 870 Combat from the base game, despite the two varying between the original and MCS variants. The HUD icon from Bad Company 2's 870 is also the same in Vietnam.
  • The 870 Combat has "Kill 'em all" written on its side, which can be better seen while reloading.
  • In third-person view, the 870 Combat is held by its user as if it had a pistol grip, due to animations being used from the base game's 870 Combat.
