The Baseball Bat - Sheet Metal Reinforced is a crafted two-handed blunt weapon. It is a Baseball Bat plated with sheet metal and bolted together. It trains the Long Blunt skill.
The metal plating raises damage, quadruples crit damage and makes it the toughest bat of the line. It weighs only a little more than the plain bat. The recipe needs Carpentry 4 and a set of metalworking tools. The bat is also a very rare find in late game survivor safehouses. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Sheet Metal Reinforced bat swings at base speed and reaches 1.25 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.0 and 1.3 damage. The crit chance starts at 40 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage by four.
Both hands stay on the bat while it is equipped. The weight is still modest, so a survivor can keep swinging for a fair while. The bat keeps the plain bat's role of knocking zombies down and finishing them. The long reach helps hold a small group at bay.
The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Compared with the Can-Reinforced bat, it hits a little harder, crits for more and lasts longer. The Baseball Bat with Garden Fork Head hits harder still, but it wears down very fast. The Sheet Metal Reinforced bat is the best pick for a long trip far from repair supplies.

Repair
The Sheet Metal Reinforced bat has 25 condition, and each hit has only a 1 in 25 chance of taking a point off. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance further. Duct Tape, Adhesive Tape and Glue repair it with no skill. Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and Epoxy with Rags needs Maintenance 4. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Baseball Bat - Sheet Metal Reinforced is a very rare find. It turns up only in late game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in cardboard boxes, crates, small boxes, metal shelves or counters, each with a tiny chance. Wardrobes in those safehouses hold one even more rarely. Crafting one is far more reliable than looking for it.
