Baseball bat

The baseball bat or slugger is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout: New Vegas. In Fallout 3, the bat is branded on one side with a machine-caligraphed "B" in an ovoid shape. Beneath the logo are the words "Since 1879," suggesting the bat's manufacturer has been producing sporting goods since the 19th century.

Fallout 2
A special baseball bat called the Louisville slugger is available in Fallout 2 as a reward for busting up the Wright family's stills for Missus Ethyl Wright.

Description
The baseball bat is a common melee weapon found in the Wasteland. The United States was stereotyped a patriotic country, so it's very logical to find them everywhere. Being made of wood, they are useful for close combat with raiders, although it's recommended to ditch it at level 6, as a more large array of melee weapons are available to you.

Locations

 * If the Wasteland explorer theme is purchased for the player's home in Megaton, a baseball bat will be included in the setup.
 * In Minefield, near the mattress where Arkansas snipes at you.
 * In Canterbury Commons, behind the counter next to the bed in Dot's Diner, there is one that when taken is not considered stealing.
 * Inside the Anchorage Memorial inside the clinic on a shelf. It is lying next to a dead mercenary.
 * There are quite a few located at the Fordham Flash Memorial Field.
 * Sometimes a raider will carry one.
 * In the north shack of Evergreen Mills.
 * Vault 101 in the beginning of Escape! It is on a table with the BB Gun and 50 BB pellets.
 * Rivet City flight deck, at home plate on the baseball field along with a baseball and a baseball glove.

Variants

 * Curse Breaker - A unique baseball bat that was cut from the base game. If it is equipped on the PC version, it makes your character disappear. This does not help with sneaking.
 * Excalibat - Another cut baseball bat in the base game. The name "Excalibat" is a nod to King Arthur's sword, Excalibur.

Fallout Tactics
In Fallout Tactics, the baseball bat is called slugger.

Locations
