Frying Pan

The Frying Pan is a new Close Combat weapon intruducted in Left 4 Dead 2. It was first seen in the Left 4 Dead 2 beta footage inside a kitchen. The Frying Pan has unlimited uses, and you can carry it for as long as you want. It kills all Common Infected in one hit, along with all Special Infected minus the Tank and Witch.

The Frying Pan should not be used against Boomers, for obvious reasons. It should also not be used for chasing Special Infected, despite the one-hit-kill.

The Frying Pan is a bludgeoning weapon, and has the ability to kill no matter where on the body the Infected is struck. As with all Close Combat weapons, it can cause friendly fire damage to The Survivors.
