Baseball Bat

"Aluminum baseball bat with leather grip. Lightweight yet powerful for all you big hitters out there."

- GTA V description on the Rockstar Games Social Club.

The Baseball Bat is a common melee weapon present in every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto III.



Description
The Baseball Bat is by far the easiest weapon to obtain, with one always at the safehouse in the games taking place in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories and a common sight throughout the other games. The baseball bat is also commonly seen in the hands of gangsters, mobsters, and sometimes civilians throughout the games. In GTA III, It can easily kill pedestrians, police men, and mobsters in two hits, the first hit flooring them, the second finishing them while still on the ground. In GTA V, a hit to the head kills in one hit.



In GTA IV, the Baseball Bat can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $5. It cannot be purchased from Little Jacob. It kills in about 3 or 4 hits and it can break windows. In The Lost and Damned, the bat is used to hit other racers in bike races. A direct hit to the head which can knock out, or even kill. In GTA IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, if timed properly, when a player swings the baseball bat (the swing that's performed when no one is targeted) at a person holding a gun, there's a chance of disarming the person with the gun. Players should be cautious if they were to do this since they must be in front of the person holding the gun. The chance off knocking a gun out of a person's hands is bigger with pistols and submachine guns. The Baseball Bat can also be used for a one-hit kill counter-attack, by dodging an attack with the Bat equipped, and pressing the attack button.

In Chinatown Wars, the baseball bat is a wooden one and unlike the nightstick, it knocks people to the floor, which leaves some time to kill them while in the ground.

In an early version of GTA IV, a wooden baseball bat appeared, as well as GTA SA. In the first mission in GTA SA, the bat that Big Smoke is holding appears to be wooden, instead of the aluminum one available in-game. Also, in the mission Running Dog, Big Smoke is again seen using a wooden bat to knock out a Vagos gang member. It clearly produces a wooden sound when Big Smoke drops the bat.

In an artwork for GTA V, Franklin is seen with Chop, holding a baseball bat. Trevor is also seen holding a bat in his character trailer and an artwork. The ones in the game's artwork are wooden like in GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA Advance, and GTA Chinatown Wars.
