{{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.
+
{{Quotation|'''The Engineer''' on revenge|You done incurred my wrath, son!|sound=Engineer dominationengineer05.wav}}
  
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.
+
The '''Frontier Justice''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#engieprimary|primary weapon]] for the {{cl|Engineer}}. It is a large, vintage pump-action {{botignore|shotgun}} with ornate engravings on its sides, along with a large wooden stock. A team-colored cylindrical capacitor with an antenna is attached to the right side.
  
[[Taunt]]ing with the Frontier Justice equipped will perform the [[Dischord]] kill taunt.
+
This weapon cannot deal random [[Critical hits]] and has half the clip size of the regular [[Shotgun]]. However, when the Engineer's Sentry Gun is destroyed, he is granted Revenge Crits based on how many kills the Sentry Gun had at the time of its destruction; two Revenge Crits for every kill, and one for every kill assist. Each Revenge Crit provides the Frontier Justice with one [[Critical hits#Crit Boost|Crit-boosted]] shot. Revenge Crits are granted no matter how the Sentry Gun is destroyed, including if the Engineer intentionally destroys it with the [[PDA]]. [[Spy|Spies]] feigning death with the [[Dead Ringer]] do not grant Revenge Crits.
 +
 
 +
The Frontier Justice is only able to store up to 35 Revenge Crits at once. Furthermore, should the Engineer die, he loses all Revenge Crits currently stored. If the Engineer's Sentry Gun is destroyed while the Engineer is dead, no Revenge Crits are given. If the Engineer has Revenge Crits, but is Crit-boosted from another source (such as the [[Kritzkrieg]]), firing the Frontier Justice still spends Revenge Crits.
 +
 
 +
The Frontier Justice's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the [[Heads-up display|crosshair]], while the other bullets are spread out. Random bullet spread, enabled in [[Casual Mode]], causes the bullets to spread out in a random pattern. When random bullet spread is disabled, the pellets spread in a fixed three by three grid pattern, with two pellets overlapping in the center of the grid.
 +
 
 +
[[Taunts|Taunting]] with the Frontier Justice equipped results in the [[Guitar Smash]] kill taunt.
  
 
The Frontier Justice is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 [[Engineer achievements]].

This article is about the weapon. For other uses, see Frontier (disambiguation).
You done incurred my wrath, son!
The Engineer on revenge

The Frontier Justice is an unlockable primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a large, vintage pump-action shotgun with ornate engravings on its sides, along with a large wooden stock. A team-colored cylindrical capacitor with an antenna is attached to the right side.

This weapon cannot deal random Critical hits and has half the clip size of the regular Shotgun. However, when the Engineer's Sentry Gun is destroyed, he is granted Revenge Crits based on how many kills the Sentry Gun had at the time of its destruction; two Revenge Crits for every kill, and one for every kill assist. Each Revenge Crit provides the Frontier Justice with one Crit-boosted shot. Revenge Crits are granted no matter how the Sentry Gun is destroyed, including if the Engineer intentionally destroys it with the PDA. Spies feigning death with the Dead Ringer do not grant Revenge Crits.

The Frontier Justice is only able to store up to 35 Revenge Crits at once. Furthermore, should the Engineer die, he loses all Revenge Crits currently stored. If the Engineer's Sentry Gun is destroyed while the Engineer is dead, no Revenge Crits are given. If the Engineer has Revenge Crits, but is Crit-boosted from another source (such as the Kritzkrieg), firing the Frontier Justice still spends Revenge Crits.

The Frontier Justice's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair, while the other bullets are spread out. Random bullet spread, enabled in Casual Mode, causes the bullets to spread out in a random pattern. When random bullet spread is disabled, the pellets spread in a fixed three by three grid pattern, with two pellets overlapping in the center of the grid.

Taunting with the Frontier Justice equipped results in the Guitar Smash kill taunt.

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

Trivia

Radigan Conagher holding the Frontier Justice.
  • 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 hidden link on the Engineer Update page.
  • 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 (see Revengineer).
  • The Frontier Justice was first shown in the Mac Update trailer, held by the RED Engineer before being officially announced on July 5, 2010.
  • As with most shotguns in the game, the Frontier Justice is a left-handed shotgun (as shown by the ejection port being visible on the left hand side of the gun), despite Engineer holding it right-handed. A right-handed shotgun has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected shells from striking the user.
