The Metal Baseball Bat with Sawblade is an aluminum bat with half a circular sawblade welded to its barrel. It is a crafted two-handed weapon. Because the blade does the cutting, it trains the Axe skill instead of Long Blunt.
It hits far harder than the plain Metal Baseball Bat, and its crit is much stronger. It also works as a woodcutting tool. The cost is extra weight and faster wear. It is crafted with the Make Sawblade Metal Bat recipe at Welding 6. The Lumberjack is the best occupation for axes. It starts with the most Axe skill. The Firefighter also starts with some Axe skill.
Combat
Each hit deals between 1.2 and 1.9 damage. The reach is 1.2 tiles. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage by five.
The bat is two-handed and weighs 2.5, so each swing costs a fair amount of endurance. The Axe skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The sawblade bat suits a survivor with a high Axe skill who also needs a tool for wood. Compared with the bolted metal bat, it hits harder and crits much harder but has less condition.
Uses
The bat counts as an axe for wood work. It chops logs and large branches into firewood. It is a valid tool for building the Log Bench, Log Stool, Log Table and Log Stairs. It cuts plants. It can kill small trapped animals. It serves as the tool for the Bone Spike Weapon recipe. A worn-out bat can be scrapped into four Aluminum Scrap.
