Bat

"Ditch your primary weapon and equip a baseball bat! While equipped, you can run faster and triple jump! Hitting enemies while airborne grants extra damage!" In-game description

The Bat is a melee weapon for Scout that enables triple jumping and increases speed when equipped. The increased speed makes you even more annoying to fight against, but unfortunately, capturing flags in CTF is disabled.

The Bat is mostly wooden and has its handle wrapped with a white cloth.

Tactics

 * Sneak around, behind, and over enemies with your increased mobility from the Bat and surprise them with hits. Using the bat gives you around 1.3x more speed.


 * The Bat deals 125 damage to non-humanoid objects, which enables it to 2 shot most planted weapons, such as the ANFO crate and C4. Use this fact to help your team from dying to planted weapons.


 * The Bat could also deal more damage to airborne targets, although this is barely viable in most situations. As trying to melee someone mid-air is already difficult to pull off, you're better off using the pocket CIWS if you want to deal with airborne enemies.


 * Make sure to strafe around, beside, and even jump over enemies to make yourself harder to hit.

Trivia
Bat Scout is generally agreed upon by the community to be the worst possible way to play the game, as it is very annoying to fight against. Expect to be called insults when using this weapon.
