— The Soldier after stealing someone's spine

”

The Bat Outta Hell is a community-created 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 a cigar. Scout's headpiece and Soldier's helmet are opposite team-colored.

This weapon functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.

The Bat Outta Hell was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
