I think DE just mainly wants to have more shotguns in their weapon line-up, to match up with rifles and secondaries. Which is a stupid solution for a couple reasons.

1. Given the low drop rate of Shotgun rivens from sorties, it only further weighs on this rare pool of rewards.

2. Shotguns in general are simply an unneeded classification. All primary weapons need to be simply listed as "primary" and all draw from the same pool of mods. After all, rifle mods encompass assault rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, laser beams, and more exotic things. Secondary weapons have all of the above, just in hand-held form. So why bother cutting shotguns into their own category at this point?
