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 drum magazine attached to the front.

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 was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "War Drum".

Update history

December 22, 2014 Patch (Smissmas 2014)

• The Panic Attack was added to the game.

January 7, 2015 Patch

Unused content

• The Panic Attack has a unique critical sound effect in the tf2_sound_misc VPK.

Bugs

• The player can store rounds in the Panic Attack by reloading, and then pressing the Grappling Hook button (Default Key: 6). This allows the player to use their other weapons and then quickly switch back to the Panic Attack to perform a quick attack.
  • This partly applies when reloading and then taunting; after the player finishes the taunt, the previously loaded rounds are fired.
• This weapon currently has no crit firing sound.
• Due to this weapon being a primary weapon for the Engineer, it can be crafted using a Pyro class token and a Primary slot token in place of Secondary slot.

Trivia

• The weapon is modeled after the Winchester Model 1897 specifically the 'trench gun' variant that was used commonly in both the first and the second World Wars. This example has been heavily modified with a heat shield and shortened barrel(both standard Trench Gun modifications) as well as a shortened stock and a drum mag feeding into the ammo tube. Despite being clearly based on the Trench Gun model of the 1897, it is how ever missing the front lug of the bayonet adapter.
• The Panic Attack's design modification of the added drum mag could have been inspired by the combat shotgun from the popular syfi game, Fallout 3. However the combat shotgun of Fallout 3 is based on the Russian sub-machine gun, the PPSH-41.
