A spiked baseball bat is a two-handed long blunt melee weapon.
Usage
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
|
|
The spiked baseball bat is a craftable improvement to the basic baseball bat which does more damage, generally killing Zombie with one well-charged hit. It has good range, knockback, and deals above average damage, with relatively common components. The improved damage does come with the drawbacks of causing damage to clothing worn by zombies. Another drawback is an increased probability of causing wear to the bat, compared to the normal bat.
Breaking doors
It can be used to bash down doors, causing 7 damage per swing.
Condition
It has lower durability than a standard baseball bat. This is counteracted by the ability to repair it with nails, which are very common. Each nail restores a full point of condition if successful. This can dramatically extend the life of the bat for not much extra investment.
The spiked 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 (10 + 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 | 1/10 (10%) | 150 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/12 (8%) | 180 |
| 0 | 8 | 1/14 (7%) | 210 |
| 4 | 0 | 1/14 (7%) | 210 |
| 8 | 0 | 1/18 (6%) | 270 |
| 4 | 4 | 1/16 (6%) | 240 |
| 4 | 8 | 1/18 (6%) | 270 |
| 8 | 8 | 1/22 (5%) | 330 |
| 10 | 10 | 1/24 (4%) | 360 |
Repairing
- At level 7 carpentry, wood glue will repair 75% durability
- Unlike with all weapons, nails can be used to repair the spiked bat.
- Due to how the repair system work in whole numbers, any successful repair will repair the spiked bat by the minimum amount: 1. Meaning that with the lowest success rate with nails being 50% and a low chance to lose condition on failure, a player may repair the spiked bat upwards of 30 times while still gaining more condition than loss.
- The Spiked Baseball Bat has an averaging 150 swings before repair, after 30 repairs via nails, it can easily reach 400+ swings.

Location
The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.
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.
| Building/Room | Container | Effective chance |
|---|---|---|
| SafehouseLoot | counter | 15.52% |
| SafehouseLoot | crate | 15.52% |
| SafehouseLoot | metal_shelves | 15.52% |
| SafehouseLoot | wardrobe | 15.52% |
| SurvivorCache1 | counter | 15.52% |
| SurvivorCache2 | counter | 15.52% |
| Outfit | Days survived | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Bandit (male), Bandit (female) | 0 | 50 |
It can only be found on the bodies of dead survivors and in survivor houses, although it is more reliable to craft one, as the unmodified bat spawns in many locations in the world.
