While strategy, skill, and your fast reactions are key to winning matches in The Finals, choosing the right weapons can compensate for some weaknesses. So, if you spot the rather unusual Model 1887 shotgun, you might wonder how good it is in The Finals. Indeed, the combination of an effective close-quarters classic shotgun and a relatively long range makes this weapon very attractive.

However, not everything is so smooth and, like any gun in the game, the Model 1887 has both strengths and weaknesses. Eventually, the bullet spread of this shotgun is different from what players will be to. So let's look at everything you need to know to decide the effectiveness of this weapon.

Should You Use Model 1887 in The Finals?

Model 1887 in THE FINALS

First, it is worth noting that the Model 1887 is a very situational weapon in The Final, which will only find a place in the Medium build for players with high accuracy skills. This weapon costs 800 VRs, which shouldn't take too long to collect. However, if you want something with consistent damage or more versatile mechanics for easy use, the Model 1887 is not for you.

Of course, like most shotguns, this weapon offers massive damage at close range, but its bullet spread is significantly lower than other members of this weapon class. Probably, an inexperienced player will not be able to find many differences between the Model 1887 and a regular slug weapon, but, fortunately, the bullet spread of this weapon is slightly larger. Another drawback of the Model 1887 shotgun is its slow fire rate, which can lead to quick death you miss your target.

Medium build players in The Finals have access to a range of useful gadgets; here are the best ones.

While it may sound like the Model 1887 is an underperforming weapon, we have only mentioned the disadvantages. In regard to its strengths, the small bullet spread means that if you hit your target, you can deal much more damage to the target than other shotguns. In this case, just two shots will be enough to kill almost any Medium and Light-build player. Additionally, this shotgun has a significantly higher attack range, meaning you can shoot at enemies from a 10-12 meter distance without losing firepower, which can be helpful.

So, is it still worth using the Model 1887, and how good is this weapon in The Finals? Well, this weapon is definitely worth testing in battle. Moreover, it can show amazing results during a well-coordinated team game when allies can cover you while reloading. However, this is not what you should unlock in the first place. First, buy your favorite weapon that you are confident in or something more versatile, and only after that accumulate VR to unlock the Model 1887.
