"This brings back some good memories."

The Baseball Bat is a close combat weapon, introduced in Left 4 Dead 2.

It is found in every safe room, as long as one player on the team pre-ordered the game. For those who have downloaded The Passing, the Baseball Bat is now randomly found alongside other melee weapons in all maps.

The Baseball Bat is classified as a Bludgeoning weapon, and will spew blood on your screen and may decapitate Infected.

Pros

 * Good if you need a melee weapon and there are no other ones around.
 * A competant bludgeoning weapon.

Cons

 * Can be innacurate
 * Has short arc, meaning only individual infected can be hit
 * Has long reset time.
 * No real advantage from using it over other melee weapons like the Axe
 * Uncommon on most levels
