Electric Baton Gamma is the third model of the electric baton family. The Iconic club Murphy's Law is built on it. It is a one-handed blunt weapon whose swings deal Electrical damage and can hit several enemies at once. It knocks targets out instead of killing them, which helps in careful jobs and street brawls alike. It is a handy club for a Body build. The electric batons also include the story Iconics Murphy's Law and Tinker Bell. Electric Baton Gamma is sold by Coach Fred in Little China. Enemies who carry one can drop it.
Combat
The Gamma fights like its sister models. Its light swings are quick, and its trait lets each one hit more than one enemy. The damage is spread across a group instead of a single target.
Every hit deals Electrical damage with a chance to Shock. Shock deals an extra burst of Electrical damage. Blunt weapons also have a chance to stun. A stunned enemy is open to a finisher, which ends the fight quickly.
Blunt weapons are non-lethal unless a mod changes that. The Gamma knocks enemies out, so it works on jobs where V wants no one killed. Its weak point is getting close. Enemies with rifles get free shots while V moves in. The baton works best in tight interiors, from cover, or after a quiet approach.
How to Get Electric Baton Gamma Guide

Character Builds
The Gamma uses the blunt perks in the Body tree. Wrecking Ball cuts the Stamina cost of blunt attacks. Its second level turns a sprint while blocking into a charge that can knock enemies over. Kinetic Absorption gives Stamina and bonus damage after a block. Clapback adds knockdown chance to defensive attacks and stun chance to counterattacks. Finisher: Savage Sling unlocks a blunt finisher that heals V. Holding the button throws the enemy into others instead.
For cyberware, the Adrenaline Booster restores Stamina after melee takedowns. Microrotors raise attack speed with melee weapons, which means more Shock chances per second.
Its mod slots take melee and blunt mods. Silencio adds crit chance and crit damage while crouched and undetected. Airstrike adds crit chance and crit damage to attacks from midair. Severance, an Iconic mod, gives head and limb hits on a badly hurt enemy a chance to dismember and kill. Bloodbruiser makes the baton lethal and adds a Bleeding chance tied to its stun chance.
Select a Build
A one-handed club and Dashes pick off enemies one by one while Berserk is on cooldown. Once Health drops, Berserk makes the character invulnerable and melee attacks cost no Stamina. Quake slams the ground whenever it is ready and staggers every enemy nearby.
Attributes: Body 20, Reflexes 20, Technical Ability 20, Intelligence 3, Cool 18.

Lore
The Gamma's in-game line is short: it has a spicy kick. The kick is the electric charge in its head, which the Alpha and Beta also have.
Iconic electric batons appear in the story. Murphy's Law, built on the Gamma, belonged to Albert Murphy, a senior BARGHEST soldier in Dogtown. It rewards hitting enemies who are already on the ground. V can only claim it on one branch of the Phantom Liberty main job Firestarter. Tinker Bell, a second Iconic baton, belonged to Anthony Harris, the killer the news calls Peter Pan. It hides on a farm in the Badlands during River Ward's side job The Hunt.
Notes
- Murphy's Law is the Iconic variant of Electric Baton Gamma.
- Tinker Bell is an Iconic electric baton.
- Murphy's Law is missable, because it comes only on one branch of Firestarter in Phantom Liberty.
- Electric Baton Alpha and Electric Baton Beta are its sister models.
