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 37.5% faster. It does one-third of the Scattergun's damage at point blank range. 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.

Trivia
- During development, a team-colored label was displayed on the Bat. At a later point in development, the label was changed to the current faded green for both teams. The weapon's bucket icons weren't changed along with this, and still show the team-colored labels.
- 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.
