Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Remington 870 MCS is the best shotgun in Black Ops II multiplayer by both rankings we read: games.gg calls it that outright with a reliable one-to-two shot kill, and wzstats ranks it highest among shotguns, fourth for close range. Our verdict: on tight maps this is the class to use, and the Long Barrel and Laser Sight pairing is the one build several sources share.
Best Remington 870 MCS loadout
Wzstats (updated 22 July 2026), SegmentNext (undated) and bo2loadouts' "Hipfire Apology" card (undated) all use these two attachments. Perks and the Perk 3 Greed are wzstats'. Wzstats calls the gun the R870 MCS.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Long Barrel | Extends bullet range, reducing shots needed to down a target |
| Laser | Laser Sight | Reduces hipfire spread |
| Perk 1 | Lightweight | Move faster |
| Perk 2 | Toughness | Flinch less when shot |
| Perk 3 | Dexterity, Extreme Conditioning | Aim faster after sprinting; sprint for longer distances |
| Wildcard | Perk 3 Greed | Allows the second Perk 3 |
Why this build works
GameRevolution recommends both attachments for shotguns, and says Long Barrel works best on them. The wzstats short-range article points to a single well-aimed shot and a slow fire rate that demands precision. Games.gg has the same catch, a slow fire rate.
How to play it
Fight in confined spaces. GameRevolution calls shotguns strong in buildings and narrow hallways, and warns about small magazines and long reloads, so take each shot carefully. Bo2loadouts points to Nuketown, rushing and Headquarters classes. SegmentNext built its class for Hijacked and pairs it with a Five-Seven to handle enemies met at range.
Alternative setups
With secondary (SegmentNext, undated): Laser Sight, Long Barrel; Five-Seven; Lightweight, Toughness, Dexterity; Semtex, two Concussions.
Secondary shotgun (SegmentNext's Domination class, undated): this same Laser Sight and Long Barrel setup as an Overkill secondary alongside a Mk 48.
Unlock notes
The gun is available from player level 4, per GameTipCenter (November 2012), which calls it the R870 MCS. GameRevolution lists Long Barrel at weapon level 3 and Laser Sight at 5, and wzstats' data matches.
