English • français • русский |
A baseball bat is a blunt melee weapon.
Usage
Weapon
The baseball bat is particularly effective when used to deliver blows to the head. It usually won't kill a standing zombie but will either send it to the ground, allowing the character to follow up with a killing blow.
The baseball bat also has a long range (for a melee weapon), capable of keeping a small group of zombies at a distance while delivering killing blows or addressing zombies in another direction. it is capable of hitting up to 2 zombies at once with Multi-hit enabled. The baseball bat can last quite long with 15 Max Condition and only a 5% chance to lose 1 condition point, but it is always better to bring a backup weapon.
Breaking doors
It is partly effective at bashing down doors, dealing 5 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Chopping trees
It will only deal 1 damage to a tree per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Condition
The baseball bat is a blunt weapon, therefore being influenced by the blunt skills: accuracy, guard and maintenance. It has a maximum condition of 15 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (20 + maintenance x 2)
