The Frontier Justice is an unlockable primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a large pump-action coach gun-style Shotgun with ornate engravings on the stock above the firing mechanism, to which a cylindrical battery device 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. A single Revenge Crit is stored upon the Sentry Gun assisting in a kill. 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 a player can have (3+32). If the Engineer has not respawned when his Sentry Gun is destroyed, no Revenge Crits will be given to the Engineer.
Like the 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.

- Now works correctly with critical boosts.

Bugs
- Revenge Crits are kept after switching to the regular Shotgun, effectively giving all of the Engineer's weapons Critical hit chances until the player respawns.
Trivia
