Frying Pan

The Frying Pan is a melee weapon used by the Soldier and Demoman classes. It is simply a black Frying Pan, possibly made of non-stick material.

Gameplay-wise, this weapon has no discernable differences from the Shovel or Bottle. The weapon is likely related to the new Left 4 Dead 2 campaign, "The Sacrifice," as Valve staff have commented on the item stating that it is related to an upcoming out-of-game event (leading to its current un-tradeable status).

It was possible to craft this weapon using a melee slot token, class token, and scrap metal before the ability to do so was disabled.

L4D2 Frying pan

• The Frying Pan is a melee weapon in another Valve game, Left 4 Dead 2.
• A similar Frying Pan was designed for the unofficial Fancy vs. Nasty update.
• The Demoman's taunt with the Frying Pan is the same as that of the Bottle, so he drinks the Frying Pan as he does the Pain Train.
• As a Soldier, selecting the Frying Pan, like the Pain Train, still creates the sound heard when the Shovel flips open.
• It also has the same melee impact sound as the Shovel or the bottle.
• The Frying Pan has yet to be given a unique kill icon.
• Equipping a Stainless Pot as a Soldier while using the Frying Pan gives the humorous appearance that the Soldiers entire arsenal is made of kitchen utensils. This has been dubbed "Kitchen Warrior" by some fans.
• The Frying Pan is not tradable.
