Baseball Bat
The Baseball Bat is a very common melee weapon that has appeared every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto III.
Description
A wooden bat is featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Chinatown Wars but an aluminum bat is featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V. It is by far the easiest weapon to obtain, with one always at the safehouse in the games taking place in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, and a common sight throughout the other games. The baseball bat is also commonly seen in the hands of gangsters, mobsters, and sometimes civilians throughout the games.
Big Smoke from GTA San Andreas is seen using a wooden bat instead of the aluminum one featured in the introduction mission and "Running Dog," which he used to take out a Vagos gang member. It also produces a wooden sound when Big Smoke dropped the bat.
In GTA IV, the Baseball Bat can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $5. It can not be purchased from Little Jacob. This is a pretty good weapon for attacking people at point-blank range, but the knife is better for speed at closer range. A blow to the head with the bat can knock out or kill the victim. In an early version of GTA IV, a wooden baseball bat appeared
In The Lost and Damned, the bat is used to hit other racers during motorcycle races. Malc will always provide Johnny Klebitz with a bat at the start of each race. This is the first time a melee weapon is available for use while riding a vehicle.
