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.

Previous Changes

It was possible to craft this weapon using the "Fabricate Class Weapons" blueprint before the ability to do so was disabled, making the Frying Pan the first promotional item that could be obtained without qualifying to receive it.

Trivia

L4D2 Frying pan
  • A similar Frying Pan was designed for the unofficial Fancy vs. Nasty Update as 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 a Soldier, selecting the Frying Pan creates the same sound heard when the Shovel flips open.

  • On The Sacrifice update page, the Soldier can be seen cooking maggots in the Frying Pan while the Scout (wearing Ellis' Hat) watches. They're sitting in part of the map Viaduct.
  • The sound used when the Frying Pan hits something is reused from Left 4 Dead 2.
