The '''Frying Pan''' is a [[melee]] weapon for the [[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]] classes. It appears as a slightly worn cast-iron skillet with a thin film of grease caked onto the bottom. It makes the same contact sound that it does in Left 4 Dead 2.
 
  
−
The Frying Pan simply replaces the [[Shovel]] or [[Bottle]] without altering gameplay mechanics, similarly to what the [[Lugermorph]] is to the Pistol. [[Critical hit]] animations are identical to the default weapons, as are the taunts.

This weapon was earned by players who purchased Left 4 Dead 2 before October 7, 2010 as part of the Sacrifice DLC. Players also received [[Ellis' Cap]] as a part of this promotion. Players who already have Left 4 Dead 2 were scheduled to receive both items in the upcoming days after the end of the October 4th promotion. As of the October 12th patch, Ellis' Cap and The Frying Pan are considered tradable. But, as the items are currently considered "Purchased", the items cannot actually be traded.

“ ”

The Frying Pan is a promotional melee weapon for all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is based on the Frying Pan from the video game Left 4 Dead 2; a seasoned cast-iron skillet with a small dent on the underside.

This weapon functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon, but with an added cosmetic function: upon contact with a surface or player, it plays pan weapon sounds from Left 4 Dead 2.

Using Strange Bacon Grease on this item gives the user a Strange variant.

This item, together with Ellis' Cap, is awarded to players who own Left 4 Dead 2.

The kill icon for the Frying Pan was contributed by Gaspar .
