Frying Pan

"Well somebody's gonna make them some zombie grits!"

- Ellis

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

It is found in:
 * Swamp Fever
 * Hard Rain
 * The Parish

The Frying Pan is classified as a Bludgeoning weapon, will spew blood on your screen, but will never dismantle the Infected.

Pros

 * Short swing time
 * Common in later levels
 * Wides swing arc meaning multiple infected can be struck at once

Cons

 * Very short range
 * Not as good as cutting weapons like the Katana

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.
