The Bat Outta Hell is a melee weapon for all classes except for the Engineer and Spy. It is a skull with a jiggleboned lower jaw attached to a spine segment.
This item has four styles, named "Universal", "Scout", "Demoman", and "Soldier". The "Universal" style is the basic unaltered version of the weapon. The "Scout" style outfits the skull with the Scout's hat and headpiece. The "Demoman" style adds the Demoman's skullcap and eyepatch. The "Soldier" style adds Soldier's helmet and cigar.
This item functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.
The Bat Outta Hell was originally contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Yorick's Lament".

Bugs
- In Mann Vs. Machine the jigglebones will sometimes break, and on multiple occasions has caused the jawbone to disappear completely.
- This item's level does not show up in the backpack or loadout. This is because the item type is assigned to a text string that does not exist.
- Some voice commands with animations, like "Move Up", will cause this weapon to float in the air.
Trivia
- The name of this item is a reference to the idiom "a bat out of hell", usually used as a simile. "He got out of there like a bat out of hell" - i.e., very quickly. [1]
- The item's original name "Yorick's Lament", refers to the fictional character Template:W from Template:W's play Template:W, specifically the scene where Template:W holds Yorick's skull in his hand.
