Talk:Frying Pan

It's Craftable

I've seen a person craft it from a soldier token, melee token, and a scrap metal. Though I've tried three times and each time I got a paintrain.--Jordan 04:27, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

That could be a joke --DrNightKOT

No, it's here: http://www.tf2items.com/crafting/blueprints.php

It's for the Demoman too. --Firestorm 04:45, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I was in the server when he crafted it and he subsequently killed me with it. Also I said Soldier as that's what we were all doing as it gives you a greater chance because there are only three Soldier melee weapons while there are four for the Demoman. I would assume you can craft it with a Demoman token too. Here's his backpack. [1]b--Jordan 05:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

So should we remove the bit where it says it can't be crafted? Also, does anyone know why it can't be traded? It might be because it could be an achievement item for The Sacrifice, similar to the Alien Swarm Parasite (just a guess, anyway). Randomscripter 20:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm guissing it's related to L4D2 as well but that doesn't really explain why it's untradable as both the Alien Swarm Parasite and Bill's hat are tradable.--Jordan 11:13, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I traded for one. --Flying Pyro 19:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

How to Obtain It Properly

The Left 4 Dead 2 blog revealed today how to get both the Frying Pan and Ellis' Cap. I've gone ahead and filled in the appropriate information on each page CaptMurasa 19:17, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

When can I obtain it?

I didn't understand when exactly am i going to get the hat and the weapon? --- Mitko1239 (Talk page) --- 20:15, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Purchase L4D2 before tomorrow. If you already own it, you'll already be getting the hat. -RJ 20:16, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I have L4D2.Can I just join a server and get them or it's too early? Mitko1239 (Talk page) 20:17, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I have owned l4d2 since it came out, I even pre-ordered it about a month or 2 before it was even out. I have gotten elies hat or the frying pan at all....

They just take a while. According to tf2items I received mine today. --Jordan 12:55, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

You can apparently still obtain them by buying L4D2. Squidfeeder 19:33, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Trivia Section

The trivia section states, "This is one of 8 items available through the purchase of another game, the others being the Big Kill, the Lugermorph, Bill's Hat, the Alien Swarm Parasite, the Lumbricus Lid, Max's Severed Head, and Ellis' Cap." However, the alien swarm parasite is is not obtainable through the purchase of another game. Should the wording be changed or the parasite be removed from the list altogether? Nequissime 02:40, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

The trivia has a error. Alien swarm is a free game and not exactly purchased. Additionally you need to get a achievement.

Useable by every class?

"[...]these items know no class, color, weight or gender. They work for all peoples." quote from blog

Is it just the hat or is the blog post misleading? --Schenkd 09:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Bottle Taunt as a bug?

This is intended as a joke (according to i-ghost), so should it be listed as a bug? I see it sort of like listing Spycrab as a bug Balladofwindfishes 10:42, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

If it's intended then it isn't a bug.  –  Cructo [T][C] 10:44, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

Drinking my splinter alcopop Pain Train was a better joke. Just sayin'.--Focusknock 14:15, 22 August 2011 (PDT)

The cooking surface

The cooking surface has *patches* of grease, not a *film* of grease. Film implies uniform distribution, while we can see that the model actually has the grease in random places. Shall i go ahead and edit it? Doomgiver 09:30, 4 November 2011 (PDT)

Randomly Drops (What!?)

TF2 stats is showing a nice percentage (1% to be exact) of Frying Pans are from random drops. Generally the distribution tag and TF2 Stats data is pretty accurate, so... uhhh... the Pan drops now? Unlike the Sticky and Rocket jumper, I'm going to hold off on making any changes to the page, but I guess it's something to keep in mind and if someone sees one drop, by all means edit it in (the change would have been made on monday of last week). Actually, looking at it, the Ellis's Cap shows signs of timed drop also. I assume if one was made droppable the other would be. Balladofwindfishes 06:03, 2 April 2012 (PDT)

Client View Image

I think those image should change because lighting doesn't match as another page. Also demoman and soldier client view was change. Hinaomi 21:21, 3 May 2012 (PDT)

Clipping

I've noticed that now it's for other classes, it can clip on quite a few of their hats. Should this be added to bugs? Aslandier 22:34, 3 May 2012 (PDT)

 Nope.avi Clipping Bug is common bug, no need to note anymore. Hinaomi 23:49, 3 May 2012 (PDT)

Weapon Demonstration Might Need To Be Redone

Since it got updated to be used for almost all classes, shouldn't the Weapon Demonstration need to be redone to show all the classes except Engineer and Spy instead?--Iamgoofball 22:33, 3 May 2012 (PDT)

Soldier Taunt

I noticed that when Soldier taunts with this weapon, his hand is not in the correct position and it clips through the round part of the pan. He also smashes his head with it sideways instead of hitting himself with the flat part of the pan. Yuurg 04:23, 2 June 2012 (PDT)

Clipping Issue is not notable. Hinaomi 06:32, 2 June 2012 (PDT)

Heavy Taunt

Should it be noted that, well, there isn't one? I'm not sure if its counted as a bug, but its just odd that this only happens with the Heavy. Arcdash (talk) 14:07, 15 November 2013 (PST)

Pretty sure it's not notable. Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 14:46, 15 November 2013 (PST)

Golden Pan

Today's update added a Golden Frying Pan. I'm not sure how it's obtained or if it functions differently than the regular Pan. I saw it at the end of the Mann Co. Catalog while looking for Australium weapons, but this was the only thing I saw. Platitudinous (talk) 17:56, 21 November 2013 (PST)

• Ignore that; it has its own article now. Platitudinous (talk) 06:46, 22 November 2013 (PST)

Probably should have waited before making an article on it. It would have easily been incorporated on the Frying Pan page itself.Ashes (talk) 06:51, 22 November 2013 (PST)

As always, if it's an item. It gets a page. We make exceptions but they are rare. Simple way to figure this out, find it in the item list. Click wiki article link, if there's no page already. Make it. -- Lagg 07:00, 22 November 2013 (PST)

A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far Far Away

I seem to remember an inventory-related bug where if two classes had the frying pan equipped and you switch between them, you would use the other class' stats sometime. For instance, equipping it on heavy and scout, my swing was slower, and the pan did the full 65 damage of other classes as a scout after switching from heavy. I don't know when it was fixed (since it doesn't work anymore).
