This article is about the Scout's stock melee weapon. For other bats, see Bat (disambiguation).

The Bat is the default melee weapon for the Scout. It is an aluminium baseball bat sporting a rubber tape grip, a faded green oval label, and a large dent on its side.

The Bat does less damage per hit than any other stock melee weapon, but swings roughly 30%-40% faster. It does one-third of the Scattergun's damage at point blank range, and players may choose to use this weapon to finish off an opponent when out of ammunition, while reloading, or simply for additional humiliation. Its critical hit animation depicts the Scout swinging it backhandedly.

Unused content

  • A team-colored version of the Bat exists in the game files, bearing team logos instead of the faded green oval one seen in-game.

Trivia

  • During the Team Fortress 2 Beta, a team-colored label was displayed on the Bat. Upon release, the label was changed to a faded green for both teams. This can still be seen in the weapon's bucket icons.
  • The bat is made of aluminium. The first aluminium baseball bat was made in the 1970s, at least two years after this game ostensibly takes place.
