Magazine: The Louisville Bruiser is a recipe magazine about carving a baseball bat. It belongs to Carving and teaches one recipe, Carve Bat.
Carve Bat shapes a Large Branch into a Crafted Baseball Bat. It is one of the most demanding Carving recipes in the game.
The magazine turns up mostly in late game survivor safehouses. Libraries and survivor caches hold it now and then.
Uses
Carve Bat needs Carving level 9. It takes one Large Branch. A sharp knife or meat cleaver is needed and kept. The result is a Crafted Baseball Bat.
The recipe sits near the top of the Carving skill. The magazine is worth keeping until the skill catches up.
The Crafted Baseball Bat feeds several weapon recipes from other magazines. Make Garden Fork Head Weapon, Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon, Make Sawblade Wooden Bat and Sheet Metal-Reinforce Weapon all accept it in place of a Baseball Bat.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.
