Hell, if you lose your gun then use a bat. Just burst their heads like a fuckin' balloon.
A baseball bat is a blunt melee weapon.
Usage
Weapon
The baseball bat is particularly effective against lone zombies. It usually won't kill a standing zombie in one hit, but it has a high chance to knock them down, allowing players to follow up with a killing blow.
The baseball bat also has a long range (for a melee weapon), and is capable of keeping a small group of zombies at a distance while delivering killing blows. It is capable of hitting up to 2 zombies at once with Multi-Hit enabled. The baseball bat has a decent durability with 15 Max Condition and a low chance to lose durability when used. It's one of the better melee weapons in the game, and a great starter weapon.
Breaking doors
The baseball bat is not too effective at bashing down doors, dealing 5 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Chopping trees
The baseball bat is not recommended to cut trees, as it will only deal 1 damage to a tree per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.
Crafting
The baseball bat can be upgraded to a spiked baseball bat or be used to smash open a watermelon.

Condition
The baseball bat has a maximum condition of 15. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (20 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the long blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and long blunt skills.
| Maintenance level | Long blunt level | Condition lower chance | Average condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/20 (5%) | 300 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/22 (5%) | 330 |
| 0 | 8 | 1/24 (4%) | 360 |
| 4 | 0 | 1/24 (4%) | 360 |
| 8 | 0 | 1/28 (4%) | 420 |
| 4 | 4 | 1/26 (4%) | 390 |
| 4 | 8 | 1/28 (4%) | 420 |
| 8 | 8 | 1/32 (3%) | 480 |
| 10 | 10 | 1/34 (3%) | 510 |
Repairing
Materials that can be used to repair the baseball bat, based on first time repairing.
Baseball Bat
| Fixer | Skill | Repairs | Success chance |
|---|---|---|---|
2×  Wood Glue |
2 Carpentry | 50% | 95% |
2×  Duct Tape |
20% | 95% | |
2×  Glue |
10% | 95% | |
4×  Adhesive Tape |
10% | 95% |
- Each level up to carpentry level 7 will increase the wood glue repair chance up to 75%
- Each successive repair will reduce the chance of success.
- It should be noted that upgrading the baseball bat to the spiked baseball bat will reset the repair count to 0.
Location
The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
BaseballBat distributionShow / Hide
Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average 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. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
