Talk:Baseball Bat

If i play with someone who preordered the game does that mean that i unlocked the bat ?92.229.56.206 17:33, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Here is a nice pic of the baseball bat: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/images/bonus/L4D2_bonusLG.jpg

First time when I see gameplay videos of the Baseball Bat I had to laugh: This weapon makes the wounds of a sword, taking off heads, limbs and carves the bodies of the Infected. I mean, it is a Baseball Bat, not sharp, how can it take off heads?

I preordered L4D2 at Game and got the early access code and the baseball bat code, the demo code worked but the bat code is invalid. Does the baseball bat code only become valid when L4D2 is released or something? -Ouroboros Omega 18:17, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yep, Baseball bat works ONLY on the real game. But why do we need a baseball bat if we have the CRICKET BAT! Time for some Shaun of the DEAD! --Kirby888 23:31, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

How can you know the exact powers and uses of the bat when the source you cited says that it doesn't know anything specific about the bat? It could be completely different from the other melee weapons. The point is we DON'T know yet. Don't just cite a source and put your own definition of the bat on here.

Pre-order
So because it's called the "American Baseball" bat does that mean Canadians can't get it? Cause if so I'll be very pissed. Regulust 22:51, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * What are you talking about? They call it the "American Baseball Bat" because there is the Cricket Bat, and some people consider that the "British" baseball bat.--'Meester SHOGUN 450  RO A  R! 23:04, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

>> I was just wondering... sheesh. Regulust 02:04, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Uhh, was I yelling at you? Calling you an idiot? No. Stop being so sensative.--'Meester SHOGUN 450  RO A  R! 07:38, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but you are now. Dis Ma B00Mstick 19:15, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Use with different Live account?
I'm not quite understanding the wording in the trivia section regarding if the DLC is on your hard drive and all, so, I was hoping someone might be able to provide some clarification on it. That said, my question is: I have a friend who did pre-order the game, and received and used the code for the baseball bat; he has it in his game. I do not. If I were to copy the baseball bat file off of his hard drive and onto mine, would it work with my game? Or would it only work on my system if his profile were signed in? --Dan Dark 22:34, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

In answer to my own question... I tried this yesterday, with no success. Plugged my memory unit (MU) into a friend's 360 that had the baseball bat, copied it to the MU, then switched the MU back to my 360 and moved the baseball bat off of it to the hard drive. When I attempted to start the game, it recognized that the baseball bat was there, but gave me an error message claiming the file was unrecognized or corrupted. I have another idea I might get to test today, though; signing in to my 360 using my friend's profile, going into his download history, and using the "Download Again" option to download it directly to my system. I have no idea whether or not this will actually work, of course, but I figure it's worth a shot, ya know? --Dan Dark 00:10, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Yet another update. I tried using a friend's account to download the baseball bat DLC to my 360's hard drive, then playing using solely my profile; it gave me the same error message as before. As such, I've modified that part of the Notes to hopefully be clearer. If I missed something, though, please, feel free to correct me. --Dan Dark 20:55, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Never got the bat.
Just wondering why I didn't get the bat. I preordered the game off steam about a week before it came out. Problem is, I never got the bat, along with the fact that in TF2, I never got Bills hat. Kind of makes me mad. Is anyone else having this problem? Should I complain to Steam about it or just deal with it? 66.232.207.227 17:24, January 19, 2010 (UTC) You should report about that to steam or somewhere, I dunno. ŊυĐε 13:55, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Everyone can have it now
Actually, it is given to anyone who has received the latest service update for the game. I haven't downloaded The Passing yet and I found a baseball bat in singleplayer mode. I was so shocked and happy.Xboxannihilator 00:01, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

For those who pre-ordered L4D2...
I need to ask a few questions quick: Sera404 18:07, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does the Baseball Bat always spawn at the start of a campaign currently?
 * If so, how many of them spawn? Was it previously for every person who pre-ordered, one would spawn for each player who did so?  Or just one single Baseball for the whole team?
