The Panic Attack Level 1 - 100 Shotgun 50% faster reload time This weapon deploys 50% faster Fire rate increases as health decreases Hold fire to load up to 4 shells Weapon spread increases as health decreases

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 and an external firing hammer.

The Panic Attack starts with 0 rounds in its magazine. 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. Once loaded, the player can hold the shells in the weapons for as long as they please, however, releasing the Primary Fire key will release all the bullets in an unstoppable succession. The player cannot switch weapons while the clip is loaded. Compared to the stock Shotgun, the weapon fires 30% faster, reloads 50% faster and deploys 50% 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".

Bugs

• 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.
• The quality of the backpack icon is affected depending on the Texture Quality of the game, which isn't a normal behavior, as other backpack icons for other items aren't affected depending on the Texture Quality that the player set.
• If the player dies while reloading the weapon, the reloading sound effect will continuously play until they respawn.
