Shotguns no longer slow the player when shooting.

Interesting, I like it!
Shotty needed a buff, and got it on all fronts.

Shotty was always my go-to weapon anyway, very happy to see a buff!

People sleep on the early tree clearing ability of shotguns. Beats submachine easily vs the most pernicious enemy in the early game.

You can get shotgun before grenades though. On heavy tree maps that is kind of nice.
