The Frying Pan is a close combat weapon seen in Left 4 Dead 2.

It can be used in the following campaigns:
 * Swamp Fever
 * Hard Rain
 * The Parish
 * Death Toll (Left 4 Dead 2 only)
 * Blood Harvest (Left 4 Dead 2 only)

The Frying Pan is classified as a Bludgeoning weapon, will spew blood on your screen, but will never dismantle the Infected. The Frying Pan is one of the two promtional items you can get in Team Fortress 2, the other one being the "Ellis Cap".

Pro

 * Common in later levels
 * Wide swing arc
 * Ironic usage

Cons

 * Very small swing range.
 * Slow attack rate.
 * Cannot cut Smoker tongue before it attacks.
 * Large amounts of noise created that can attract other Infected.

Tactics

 * A good strategy for using the frying pan against a small horde is to push them back, then deliver multiple hits with the frying pan, therefore keeping the Infected out of melee range, and you within melee range.
