The Soldier on the culinary arts

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.

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. Upon contact with a surface or player, it will play sounds identical to those used in Left 4 Dead 2.

This weapon was earned by players who purchased Left 4 Dead 2 before October 7, 2010 as part of the Sacrifice DLC.[1] Players also received Ellis' Cap as a part of this promotion.[1] 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. Alternatively, The Frying Pan was also able to be gained through crafting, using both the melee slot token and the solider or demo class token. As of the October 12th patch, Ellis' Cap and The Frying Pan are considered tradable, but this small patch has been reverted upon release. As the items are currently considered "Purchased", the items cannot actually be traded. They will be tradable after the next patch.[citation needed]
