Retro Gatling
Retro Gatling is an alternate to the Peashooter's Pea Gatling ability. It can only be obtained by sticker packs, and once obtained can be equipped in place of Pea Gatling in the character customization menu. It takes 30 seconds to recharge.
Overview
The difference between the two is that the Retro Gatling has a slower rate of fire and only half as much ammo as the Pea Gatling, and the peas have a lower velocity and a quicker damage falloff. In exchange, each pea deals 8-12 impact damage and 9-14 critical damage, significantly higher than the standard Pea Gatling's.
Recoil comparison between Pea Gatling (100 rounds) and Retro Gatling (50 rounds). Were Retro Gatling to have 100 rounds, the recoil patterns would be very similar.
Contrary to popular beliefs, the recoil between Retro Gatling and Pea Gatling are not actually very different: Both veer significantly to the right at a 30 degrees angle upwards, and Retro Gatling's climb rate is only slightly slower compared to Pea Gatling. The player may compensate for this by dragging the mouse to the left at a 30 degrees angle downward; this can eliminate the need to fire Retro Gatling in bursts, as aimed shots should be able to hit the target reliably even at full auto.
The Retro Gatling sacrifices ammo and firing speed for more damage for each hit. Overall, the Retro Gatling will deal less damage per second, and the player will also get less potency from Retro Gatling in general.

Description about Retro Gatling
Retro Pea Gatling uses the ancient Peashooter techniques of manually cranking out peas. Although it has a slower rate of fire, the peas are ancient and far more damaging.

Trivia
- The Helmet that the Peashooter wears while using this ability slightly resembles a German Pickelhaube.
- The firing barrel that is visible in the Peashooter's mouth resembles an actual Gatling Gun.
- On the firing barrel's left side, there is a crank, yet the Peashooter never operates it despite the Stickerbook description claiming otherwise.
