A frying fan has always been one of the exciting elements of PUBG. And if you have ever played PUBG, you must have certainly come across a frying pan at least once. But if you happen to be a regular PUBG player, let's see if the pan actually protects you from the bullets or not, and if it does, here’s how you can use one to survive longer.

Tip 1: One of the top comments on the same Reddit post went on to explain how the pan can block shotgun blasts. A frying pan is also claimed to block bullets while in the land, and from both the sides.

Tip 2: This could be an interesting technique you can try. This way, you can possibly minimise a severe damage caused by bullets to a significant extent, and at the same time, survive longer.

Tip 3: In a separate post on Quora, a PUBG player claimed that aggressively swinging a frying pan could protect him against 80 per cent of incoming bullets from UMP9.

The Pan is a melee weapon in PUBG. According to a Gamepedia article about PUBG, the pan used to cause 100+ damage in the pre-released version of PUBG Mobile. As funny or unrealistic as it may sound, a player with all level 3 armor would be killed instantly upon being hit by the pan. That, however, is no longer the case with the public release of PUBG.

So if you are interested, you can try all these techniques and put them to some good use.
