Baseball Bat (Fallout: New Vegas)

The baseball bat is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This melee weapon in Fallout: New Vegas is identical in appearance to the baseball bat seen in Fallout 3, but it deals more damage.

Special attack
It has the fitting Grand Slam special attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 10 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Grand Slam outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The baseball bat can successfully strike about 1,995 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Gun Runners' Arsenal baseball bat, a unique version capable of supporting mods.

Locations

 * Goodsprings - one of the Powder Gangers that attacks with Joe Cobb, during the quest Ghost Town Gunfight carries one.
 * North sewers - Greasy Johnny's gang often holds them.
 * Baseball bats are a common melee weapon for Fiends to spawn with.
 * One can be found beside Old Lady Gibson's bed.

Behind the scenes
In the sport of baseball, a grand slam is a home run hit with all the bases occupied by baserunners, thereby scoring four runs; the most possible on a single play.
