One of this games strong points is it's simplicity. Crossbow for the most part is made redundant by the bow. The only reason I could see a shotgun being a thing is if it could not only fit slugs but also emergency flare rounds (so you get ammo variety in only one gun) and was something like a single barrel break action. Thing is, there isn't much of a need for different types of projectiles. This isn't a hunting sim, there are no park rangers/law enforcement to get pissed at you if you shoot a rabbit with the bolt action rifle and most 'enemies' would be best hunted with the rifle anyway. Maybe if crows and other birds are added as possible prey, then maybe add a single barrel break action shotgun which can fit birdshot (along with slugs and emergency flare shells) to facilitate in hunting them. Other than that, I can't really see more weapons being added.

Maybe its just me, idk, but that event was really good (or at least a really cool experience). Like if a DLC or something released which added more, well done, interesting and uniquely challenging supernatural entities (in challenges or as threats in survival too), I would pay good money. Probably not gonna happen cause long dark is thematically focused on being an authentic and 'realistic' survival sim with only slight paranormal events to explain away the high occurrence of worst case scenarios (e.g wildlife hostility). As opposed to a very complex game of slender but it would be cool none the less.
