Yes good point. A submachine gun class of weapon would be a good option (although that is what they seem to be trying to make the Auto Rifle into). A shotgun is a shotgun whatever DLC it is from, the difference is in the detail of perks and stats. Unfortunately every update seems to concentrate on lowering impact and range, but increasing rate of fire. Great for PvP but rubbish in PvE. If they want us to use new weapons, they need to balance it like in vanilla (remember when there were two of each weapon type? One high impact low RoF and one low impact and high RoF) so that we can pick the one best suited to our play style and situation. Give us choice and people will choose different weapons. Restrict us to a small list and we will all use the same.
