Title.
As it stands, shotguns only give a single ammo back on elite kills. So if you’re trying to clear shooters, you’ll drain ammo incredibly fast because special killing will NEVER return ammo at the same rate. This is worsened by the fact that it usually takes a few shots to kill a special even for the weaker ones, and nevermind attempting to kill them at range.
For a more personal reason, the lasgun domination is sorta stale, and I would like to see more than just lasguns and the shredder autopistol.

Shotguns are incredibly good… agri, lawbringer and kantrael. Especially with the veteran.
Except Kantrael, the two others can be used with paying attention o what you do, but no real problem of ammos.
Off course, you can’t make sustained fire with them… but you can play with them.
Shotgun don’t really need 2 ammos from aura aptitude… they just need 30% more ammos.
Precision: Kantrael can also be used with a veteran. But ammos is here more harder to manage. With it, I often to have to switch to my Power sword.

I might understand Vets passive wrong, but Iam rather sure you get 2% of your total ammo per elite kill rounded down. So above 100 total ammo equals 2 ammo per kill. 99 or lower is just 1 ammo.
Just writing that because you say A) is not needed but B) would be needed. If the total ammo gets raised by 30% at least the Pina and Lawbringer will also get 2 shells each kill on Vet. The Fire one will probably not break past 100 shells. (Which would suck. Fire and Slug are somewhat balanced toward each other right now. Slug would take the race when it gets 2 Shells on each Elite.)
Iam all for raising the total ammo of all shotguns. Its just gonna go from “crap. low on ammo again” to high noon on Vet when the total ammo breaks into triple digits. Its a huge deal (and one of the reasons why Vets passive and ammo pickups in general need to get balanced for each weapon type).

Tbf, a 30% increase to total ammo is also an increase in the ammo returned considering, ammo amount is used to calculate returned ammo amount.
And ammos picked also
That’s why I would want the 30% increase.
But I repeat that you can play well with the shotgun if you watch your fires. The problem is that the guy right on side of you that use a boltgun can use its weapon without any restriction (but sure not in full auto)
