Wield the Model 1887 shotgun in THE FINALS. Learn its devastating close-range power and how to capitalize on its high damage to eliminate aggressive opponents.

The Model 1887, a classic lever-action shotgun, delivers devastating power at close range, making it a formidable choice for aggressive players who thrive in the heart of the action. Its high damage output can instantly eliminate unsuspecting opponents, but its effectiveness plummets rapidly with distance.

• Satisfying Gameplay: The distinct sound and feel of the Model 1887 offer a unique and rewarding combat experience.
• Punishes Poor Positioning: Excellent for ambushing enemies or clearing rooms.

Weaknesses:

• Extremely Limited Range: Damage falls off dramatically beyond a few meters, making it ineffective at mid to long distances.
• Slow Rate of Fire: Requires careful aiming and precise shots due to the time between firing.
• Vulnerable During Reload: The reloading animation can leave you exposed.

Tips for Using the Model 1887:

1. Aggressive Playstyle: This shotgun demands you get close. Utilize movement abilities and flanking maneuvers to close the distance.
2. Room Clearing: It's ideal for pushing into enclosed spaces like buildings or tight corridors where enemies are likely to be found.

4. Aim for the Chest/Head: Maximize your damage potential by aiming for center mass or headshots to secure quick kills.
5. Reload Safely: Always try to reload behind cover or after securing a kill. Don't get caught in the open with an empty shotgun.
6. Pair with Mobility: Consider pairing the Model 1887 with a Light or Medium build that offers enhanced movement speed or abilities to help you close the gap quickly.
