{{Quotation|'''The Engineer''' on revenge|You done incurred my wrath, son!|sound=Engineer_dominationengineer05.wav}}
The '''Frontier Justice''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#engieprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Engineer]]. It is a large pump-action coach gun-style {{botignore|shotgun}} with a wooden stock and ornate engravings on the metal receiver, to which a team-colored cylindrical capacitor with an antenna is attached.

This weapon cannot randomly deal [[critical hits]] and has half the shell capacity of the regular [[Shotgun]]. It does, however, have the ability to deal "Revenge Crits"; for every kill acquired by the Engineer's [[Sentry Gun]], two Revenge Crits are stored, while a kill assist stores one. [[Spy|Spies]] feigning death with the [[Dead Ringer]] do not count towards the Revenge Crit count. Upon the machine's destruction, the Frontier Justice is granted with all of the Revenge Crits to use as actual critical attacks. This applies even if the Engineer destroys his own Sentry Gun with the [[PDA]]. The Frontier Justice is only able to store up to 35 of these crits at one time, which is the maximum ammo the weapon can have: three shots stored in the magazine and 32 stored in reserve. If the Engineer has not respawned when his Sentry Gun is destroyed, no Revenge Crits will be given to the Engineer. Furthermore, should the Engineer die, he will lose all Revenge Crits currently stored in the Frontier Justice; those still stored in the Sentry Gun will remain, however, until its own destruction. The Revenge Crits are retained even when switching weapons and do not expire based on time. If the Engineer has Revenge Crits and is [[Critical hits#Crit boost|crit-boosted]] from another source, firing the Frontier Justice will still spend the Revenge Crits.

Like other [[Shotgun]]s, the first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before "bullet spread" takes effect. When random spread is disabled the pellets will land forming a three by three grid pattern.

[[Taunt]]ing with the Frontier Justice equipped will perform the [[Dischord]] kill taunt.

The Frontier Justice is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 [[Engineer achievements]].

* The Frontier Justice was first shown in the [[Mac update trailer]], held by the RED Engineer before being officially announced on July 5, 2010.  
* The Frontier Justice, along with the [[Wrangler]], the [[Gunslinger]], and the [[Southern Hospitality]], appears to have been designed by Radigan Conagher, the Engineer's grandfather. This is shown via a [http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/radigan/ hidden link] in the [[Engineer Update]].
* [[w:Frontier justice|{{botignore|Frontier justice}}]] is a form of vigilantism where citizens literally take justice into their own hands and exact punishment on those who have done them wrong.
