The Crankenstein is a secondary weapon for Trooper, Arsonist, and Brute, and a primary weapon for the Mechanic. It is a makeshift shotgun made from car lights and many other car parts.
Holding the fire button will cause the player load up to 4 shells which are fired when the fire button is released. It fires 15% faster, reloads 50% faster, and deploys 50% faster compared to the Shotgun. The Crankenstein's firing speed will increase the lower the user's health is, however the accuracy will decrease in a similar fashion.
The colors of the reciever and barrel can be adjusted by using a Paint Can.

Tips[]
- By loading up 4 shots before peeking a corner, then peeking around a corner and firing is an effective method of increasing DPS while not leaving the user vulnerible.
- Since it has a 50% faster deploy speed, it works well with the Degreaser and Fists for extremely fast weapon switching.
- When used as Mechanic, a Pistol allows the user to still deal damage even after the spread becomes very large when they are low on health.
- A Short Circuit is a similarly effective option for more aggressive players that want to get into engagements with higher health targets like Trooper.
