Frying Pan
| “ | ” |
The Frying Pan is a promotional melee weapon equippable by all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is a worn cast-iron skillet with patches of grease on the cooking surface and two spout-like openings on the sides.
This weapon functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon, but with an added cosmetic function: upon contact with a surface or player, it will play pan weapon sounds from Left 4 Dead 2.
Using Strange Bacon Grease on this item will give the user a Strange variant.
This item, together with Ellis' Cap, is awarded to players who own Left 4 Dead 2.
The kill icon for the Frying Pan was contributed by H.Gaspar.
