The Frontier Justice is an unlockable primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a large pump-action coach gun-style shotgun with a wooden stock and ornate engravings on the metal reciever, 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 an assist kill stores one. 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 clip 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 weapon and have unlimited duration until their use.
Like other Shotguns, 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.
Should the player taunt with the weapon, the Engineer will perform the Dischord taunt kill.
The Frontier Justice is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 Engineer achievements.

Update history
July 8, 2010 Patch (Engineer Update)
- The Frontier Justice was added to the game.
- The amount of revenge crits a player can have at one time is now capped at 35.
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
- [Undocumented] Now works correctly with critical boosts.
- Fixed a Frontier Justice exploit that let Engineers have infinite crits for their current life/round.
- Updated model with optimizations and new LODs.
- Fixed the revenge crit label not being localized correctly.
Bugs
- Sometimes when the player dies while having Revenge crits, the crit sound will continuously loop until he/she reconnects or the server switches to another map. This can also happen with the Kritzkrieg if the player dies while fully charged.
- While reloading, it is possible to force the reload animation to loop endlessly by holding both the primary and alt-fire buttons after reloading at least one shell. This can be similarly performed with the Reserve Shooter, Family Business and the Shotgun.
Trivia
- The Frontier Justice was first shown in the Mac update trailer, held by the RED Engineer before being officially announced on July 5, 2010.
- 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 in the Engineer Update.
- Frontier Justice is a form of vigilantism, namely punishing those who evaded or were lightly treated by law and order.
