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]].

{{Quotation|'''The Soldier''' taking the weapon's name too literally|''I am having a heart attack!''|sound=Soldier sf13 influx big02.wav}}

The Panic Attack starts with 0 rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire, the player will begin loading shells into the magazine port, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the player will fire all shots one-by-one. Up to four shells can be loaded and fired in this fashion. The Panic Attack will automatically fire all the shots in the barrel if the player attempts to load in more than 4 shells. Compared to the stock [[Shotgun]], the weapon loads 34% faster. In addition, as the user's health decreases, the weapon's firing rate and spread both increase, firing faster shots at lower accuracy when at low health.

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

The Panic Attack was [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=232199788 contributed] to the Steam Workshop under the name "War Drum".
+
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.

“
I am having a heart attack!
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.
