Frying Pan

The Frying Pan is a melee weapon used by the Soldier and Demoman classes. It is simply a black Frying Pan made of cast iron.

Gameplay-wise, this weapon has no discernable differences from the Shovel or Bottle. The weapon was earned by purchasing Left 4 Dead 2 before October 7, 2010. Players also received Ellis' Cap as a part of this promotion.[1] [2]

L4D2 Frying pan

• This is the first promotional crossover weapon from a different Valve game to make it into Team Fortress 2.
• This is the second weapon that can be equipped only by the Soldier and The Demoman, the first weapon being The Pain Train.
• 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 and was a skin for the Equalizer.
• 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.
• The Frying Pan is not tradable.

  Soldier frying maggots
• This is one of 7 items available through the purchase of another game, the others being the Big Kill, the Lugermorph, the Bill's Hat, the Lumbricus Lid, the Max's Severed Head, and the Ellis' Cap.
• If you already own a copy of Left 4 Dead 2, you will get this weapon and Ellis' Cap without having to pay for another copy.
• On the Sacrifice update page, the Soldier can be seen cooking maggots in the Frying Pan while the Scout (wearing Ellis' Hat) watches. This is a reference to one of his most quoted lines of dialogue, "Maggots!".
• It was possible to craft this weapon using the "Fabricate Class Weapons" blueprint before the ability to do so was disabled.
• The sound used when the Frying Pan hits something is reused from Left 4 Dead 2.
