{{Quotation|'''The Engineer'''|You done incurred my wrath, son!|sound=Engineer_dominationengineer05.wav}}
 
  
The '''Frontier Justice''' is an unlockable [[primary]] weapon for the [[Engineer]]. It appears as a large pump-action coach gun-style {{botignore|shotgun}} with ornate engravings on the stock above the firing mechanism, to which a cylindrical capacitor with an antenna is attached.
+
{{Quotation|'''The Engineer''' on revenge|You done incurred my wrath, son!|sound=Engineer dominationengineer05.wav}}
  
This weapon cannot randomly deal [[Critical hit]]s 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 the weapon 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. 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 '''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.
  
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.
+
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.
  
Should the player [[taunt]] with the weapon, the Engineer will perform the [[Dischord]] taunt kill.
+
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.
 +
 
 +
Like other bullet-based weapons, the Frontier Justice's first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the [[Heads-up display|crosshair]] before "bullet spread" takes effect. 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.
 +
 
 +
[[Taunts|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]].

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.

Like other bullet-based weapons, the Frontier Justice's first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before "bullet spread" takes effect. 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.
