The shotgun is a great starter weapon, its fun to use and has obvious weaknesses.
It's a shame that it falls off in use when people start picking up other weapons, but of course it has to because its a starter weapon.
I think it would be great if there was a Super Shotgun pickup, which when picked up overrides the regular shotgun
It can then be placed on maps like the other power weapons.
I'm thinking it should just be an upgrade to the existing shotgun attacks.
Super Shotgun upgrade
Shoot. 12 pellets -> 18 pellets (72 max damage)
Melee. 70 damage -> 85 damage
Optionally, also make the Melee give a slight burst of speed in the direction of the attack
