”

The Scout's default melee weapon is an aluminum baseball Bat. The bat does less damage per hit than any other melee weapon but swings considerably faster (roughly 30-40%). Doing slightly less than half the Scattergun's damage at point blank range, the bat is normally used to finish an opponent when the Scattergun needs reloading or simply for additional humiliation. Its critical hit animation is a backhand swing from the left.

Trivia

• The Scout's default bat is made of aluminum. The first aluminum baseball bat was actually made in the 1970s, at least two years after this game is supposed to take place.
• The bat has a dent on one of the sides. It is also seen on the view model, on the world model and in the HUD, when selecting the bat.
• The bat will have your team name displayed in the bucket icon, but it will not show on the world model or the view model. In the TF2 Beta, RED or BLU was displayed on the bat, depending which team you were on.
• The bat has a Normal weapon variant.
