{{Quotation|'''The Engineer'''|That'll cut'cha back down to size.|sound=Engineer_revenge01.wav}}
 
  
The '''Frontier Justice''' is an unlockable primary weapon available for the [[Engineer]] released with the [[Engineer Update]]. This shotgun cannot randomly Crit and has half the magazine size of the regular [[Shotgun]] (3 from 6), but can get '''Revenge Crits''': For every kill your Sentry racks up, upon its destruction the Frontier Justice gets 2 guaranteed Crits. For every assist, it gets 1. This applies even if the Engineer destroys his own Sentry with the [[PDA]].
+
{{Quotation|'''The Engineer''' on revenge|You done incurred my wrath, son!|sound=Engineer dominationengineer05.wav}}
  
Taunting with the Frontier Justice will make the Engineer pull out his guitar, strum it, and [[Kabong!|slam it on the ground]] killing anyone unlucky enough to be infront of him.
+
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.
  
==Damage==
+
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.
* Base: 6 per pellet
 
* Max Ramp Up: 150% (9 damage per pellet)
 
* Max Fall Off: 50% (3 damage per pellet)
 
* Pellet Count: 10
 
* Point Blank: 80-90
 
** DPS (damage per second): 133-150
 
* Medium Range: 10-30
 
** DPS (damage per second): 17-50
 
* Long Range: 3-10
 
** DPS (damage per second): 5-17
 
* [[Mini-crit]]: 8.1 per pellet
 
* [[Critical hit]]: 18 per pellet
 
NOTE: This assumes that nearly all statistics relating to the [[Shotgun]] apply to the Frontier Justice.  
 
  
Medium range is defined as the length from the main resupply door to the opposite wall on the upper level of 2Fort.  Long range is defined as the length from battlement to battlement on 2Fort. Base damage is the damage done at 512 units before damage variance or bullet spread. Ramp up maxes out at 0 units. Fall off maxes out at 1024 units. Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
+
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.
  
== Function times ==
+
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.
  
* Attack Interval: 0.625
+
[[Taunts|Taunting]] with the Frontier Justice equipped results in the [[Guitar Smash]] kill taunt.
* Reload Base: 1.0
 
* Additional Reload: 0.5
 
Reload base is the time it takes to reload the first ammo. Additional reload is the time it takes to reload each ammo after the first. All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

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.
