Bat Bat "This thing creates the best concaves when it comes to it — real useful!"

The Bat is the default melee weapon of the Scout. It's an aluminum baseball bat with a slight dent near the top side, a rubber tape grip, and a faded label.

On hit, the Bat deals 35 points of damage, with a critical hit dealing 105 points of damage - much lower than other melee weapons. However it has a 37.5% faster swing speed, allowing the user to land multiple strikes (and potentially critical hits) on an opponent in a short period of time. As a weapon, it remains unimpressive compared to the Scattergun and Pistol. Blindly charging in and swinging often leads to the user's death, and so should only be used against a trapped, low-health class in a situation where you are not confident in your aim.

The Umbrella has the same functionality as the Bat, except it can grant 8 seconds of mini-crits to allied players.
