The Baseball Bat is a melee weapon that appears in Serious Sam: Tormental.
Overview[]
The baseball bat functions as a stronger version of the Sledgehammer, though it has a limited number of uses. When the player fires the secondary fire key, they will swing the bat. These swings deal twice as much damage than the sledgehammer and also have longer range. The bat can swing enemies around the room like a baseball when they are killed. A unique ability of the baseball bat is that it can deflect oncoming enemy projectiles, which can come in handy in later levels or loops.
The baseball bat can be purchased from NPCs using keys. It also has a rare chance to appear from a large Mental chest in the Frontal Lobe before the player starts Mental Woods.
Tactics[]
- The baseball bat is a very useful weapon for clearing out groups of weak enemies or dealing damage to tougher enemies and bosses, especially Cerebulls, which charge towards the player to attack.
- As it has better range than the sledgeammer, the player can safely kill explosive enemies like Bombheads or Boombats, as the bat pushes them away before they explode.
- It is a useful tool for swinging enemies away if there are too many of them overwhelming the player.
