In story, it's for Leon's weapon. He can get from Safety Deposit Room at R.P.D. or Security Room at NEST if he didn't get from R.P.D.
Leon's important weapon. Its damage increases while targets is closer. For example, when W-870 shoots zombies' heads closely, the critc occurs but not every time. Also, shotgun can knockback zombies or split zombies' body parts. B.O.Ws such as lickers and G-adults can't be knockbacked but shotgun take great damage to them on whole shot. Ivys can't be died by W-870 but they're freezed for a short time when being hit. If shotgun is added Long Barrel, its shot group will be reduced and shotgun can focus damage on any weak points but there is no aim bonus whatever it takes.
Shell supply is great, too. Having yellow high-graded gunpowders, you can get shotgun shells anytime. Particulary, if you have large gunpowders, you'll get shells at twice than normal gunpowders.
Due to well-rounded weapon, bosses get little shotgun damages. So, you should grab other weapons on boss fighting.
W-870 is also used on extra contents; 4th Survivor, Ghost Survivors excluding Runaway. It is widley used because of its versatility.
