The Frying Pan, also known as the Skillet, 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
 * Blood Harvest

The Frying Pan is classified as a Bludgeoning weapon. It spews blood on your screen, but never dismantles or mutilates the Infected.

Pro

 * Common in later levels
 * Wide swing arc
 * Fast swings make it excellent for breaking through Crescendo Event hordes

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.
