The Bat is the default melee weapon for the Scout. It is an aluminum 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 considerably faster, by roughly 30 to 40%. It does one third of the Scattergun's damage at point blank range, so players may use the weapon to finish an opponent when out of ammunition, while reloading, or simply for additional humiliation. Its critical hit animation depicts the Scout swinging it backhandedly.
