The Metal Baseball Bat with Bolts is an aluminum bat with nuts and bolts fixed through its barrel. It is a crafted two-handed blunt weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It weighs 2.25 and swings at base speed.
The bolts turn the plain Metal Baseball Bat into a much harder hitter with a higher crit chance and a stronger crit. The cost is faster wear. It is crafted with the Make Bolt Metal Bat recipe at Maintenance 4. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
Each hit deals between 1.1 and 1.5 damage, well above the plain metal bat. The reach is 1.25 tiles. The crit chance starts at 50 percent, and a crit triples the damage. The bat is two-handed. Its weight sits only slightly above the plain bat, so the endurance cost per swing stays moderate. The Long Blunt skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels.
The bolted bat suits a survivor who fights often with long blunt weapons. It trades some lifespan for a clear jump in damage over the plain bat.
