The '''Frying Pan''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[melee]] [[weapon]] available to both the [[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]. It appears as a slightly worn cast-iron skillet with a thin film of grease caked onto the bottom.
 
  
The Frying Pan simply replaces the [[Shovel]] or [[Bottle]] without altering gameplay mechanics, similarly to the [[Lugermorph]] and the [[Pistol]] or the [[Big Kill]] and the [[Revolver]]. [[Critical hit]] animations are identical to the default weapons, as are the [[taunt]]s. Upon contact with a surface or player, it will play sounds identical to those used in ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]''.

This weapon, along with the [[Ellis' Cap]], are given to players who purchase ''Left 4 Dead 2'' as part of the Sacrifice DLC.

The Frying Pan is a promotional melee weapon for all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is based on the Frying Pan from the video game Left 4 Dead 2; a seasoned cast-iron skillet with a small dent on the underside.

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 plays pan weapon sounds from Left 4 Dead 2.

Using Strange Bacon Grease on this item gives 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 Gaspar .
