INTRODUCTION:

This is my first mod for Fallout 4, and modding in general. In the base game, shotguns were a secondary weapon at best. This perk buff is intended to encourage a close-range style of play that involves bashing enemies to push them away and then blast them.  

BASIC INFORMATION:

Adds shotgun-based damage and general enhancements to the basher perk. This is intended for those who wanted a close-quarters game with a focus on bashing, melee, and shotguns. It also removes shotguns from the rifleman perk list, so only this perk helps shotguns. Automatic shotguns still are only affected by commando. 

By Level of Perk:
Level 1: 25% Bashing damage, and 25% more shotgun damage.
Level 2: 50% Bashing damage, + whatever vanilla adds, 50% more shotgun damage and decreased spread
Level 3: 75% Bashing damage + whatever vanilla adds, 75% more shotgun damage and increased range.
Level 4: Double bashing damage + whatever vanilla adds, double damage for shotguns, and 30% armor piercing. 
    
Version v.1.5: Added support for the shotgun barrels on laser muskets, laser rifles, institute lasers, and plasma guns. 

Version v.2: Optional download for Automatron DLC's Tesla gun's Charging Shotgun Barrels.


HOW THIS WORKS:

I modified the basher and rifleman perk, and made it so that the Rifleman perk does not affect shotguns. As of Version v.1.5, this modification extends to gunslinger as well.

COMPATIBILITY:

Any shotgun mod that uses the WeaponTypeShotgun keyword in their weapon should be compatible. I in particular tested with The Pipe Shotgun Collection and Caravan Shotgun mods, as well as the vanilla. As long as the shotgun does not have the WeaponTypeAutomatic keyword, it should work with this mod. An optional patch is available for the CROSS Break-Action Laser to bring it's scatter barrel into line with my perk.
