Frying Pan

A frying pan is a blunt melee weapon used in cooking.

Usage

Weapon

The frying pan has a short range and can only hit one opponent per swing, making it difficult to fight multiple zombies at once. Using the frying pan as a weapon increases the rate of exhaustion more than most other weapons.

Breaking doors

It is mostly ineffective at bashing down doors, dealing just 3 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Chopping trees

It cannot be used to chop trees, dealing 0 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Condition

The frying pan has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (12 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blunt skills.

*For how this is calculated, see: Condition*
Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Condition lower chance
0	0	1/12 (8%)
0	4	1/14 (7%)
0	8	1/16 (6%)
4	0	1/16 (6%)
8	0	1/20 (5%)
4	4	1/18 (6%)
4	8	1/20 (5%)
8	8	1/24 (4%)
10	10	1/26 (4%)

Repairing

Materials that can be used to repair the frying pan, based on first time repairing.

Repair Frying Pan
Duct Tape Potentially repairs: 50% Chance of success: 95% Needs: Duct Tape (1 units)
Glue Potentially repairs: 20% Chance of success: 95% Needs: Glue (2 units)
Adhesive Tape Potentially repairs: 10% Chance of success: 95% Needs: Adhesive Tape (3 units)

It should be noted that repairing the frying pan makes following repairs less likely to succeed and can, if repaired numerous times, cause reduced durability instead of increased.

Crafting

Cooking

Main article: Cooking

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Pan distribution Show / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
