The '''Panic Attack''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#engieprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Engineer]], and a secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]]. It is a pump-action {{botignore|shotgun}} with a drum magazine attached to the front and an external firing hammer.

Compared to the [[Shotgun|default Shotgun]], the Panic Attack deploys 50% faster, fires 50% more pellets per shot, and deals 20% less damage. If all pellets hit at point blank, this translates to slightly more damage compared to the default Shotgun (108 instead of 90). The weapon also fires wide, fixed shots in a 5 x 3 grid pattern, whether or not bullet spread is enabled.

The weapon's main downside lies in its gradually widening shot pattern: as the user fires successive shots (such as by holding down primary fire or firing before the class cocks the weapon), the shot pattern spreads and only resets when the player stops firing, reloads, or switches to a different weapon. This makes confrontations past close range difficult, and makes successive shots a somewhat less viable strategy.

“

Click to listen
— The Soldier taking the weapon's name too literally
 ”

The Panic Attack is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer, and a secondary weapon for the Soldier, Pyro, and Heavy. It is a pump-action shotgun with a heat shield barrel shroud, a drum magazine attached to the front and an external firing hammer.

Compared to the default Shotgun, the Panic Attack deploys 50% faster, fires 50% more pellets per shot, and deals 20% less damage. If all pellets hit at point blank, this translates to slightly more damage compared to the default Shotgun (108 instead of 90). The weapon also fires wide, fixed shots in a 5 x 3 grid pattern, whether or not bullet spread is enabled.

The weapon's main downside lies in its gradually widening shot pattern: as the user fires successive shots (such as by holding down primary fire or firing before the class cocks the weapon), the shot pattern spreads and only resets when the player stops firing, reloads, or switches to a different weapon. This makes confrontations past close range difficult, and makes successive shots a somewhat less viable strategy.

The Panic Attack was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
