Engineer shotgun reskin

[Frantastick]

Engineer is the only class that has all plain uncharacterized weapons. Every other class' weapons fit their style. I'd like a reskin of the stock shotgun that symbolizes the Engineer. What kind of design can you think of?

Why not new weapons?

Well because I like the shotgun. I just wanted a reskin. New weapon is cool and all but I always use shotgun.

Well is that happens then Valve will have to do the same thing with the other weapons so that it can be consistent with the other classes that use shotguns, and it wouldn't look right. A shotgun with an engie design for soldier is not practical.Also then Valve will have to do same thing for soldier, and then the strange shotgun will be weird because the shotgun has different models for different classes.

Actually that has been floating in my mind. Reskin-ing all shotguns to fit the style of the character that weilds it. Adds more flavor I guess.

Naw i like that they all use the same shotgun. If you really want engie to have a skin for his shotgun im sure you can just re-skin your own yourself. If you really think the game designers need to offically add re-skins make sure they still leave the origenals

Because there's already way too many weapons in the game.
