Bat/Tips

== Tips ==
Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently. 
* The bat, despite its shortcomings, is actually a fairly decent weapon.
* Its two second stun time makes it particularly effective in conjunction with other, harder hitting weapons such as the Sledgehammer, or better yet, the Chainsaw. 
** While other options maybe far more appealing, sticking with other players armed with these weapons (particularly the Chainsaw), can massively increase your effectiveness as a team.
* If you're ever short of a weapon, the Bat is always there. A spawn can nearly always be found nearby, whether that's in Gas, the Cafe, or Crystal Cave, the bat has your back.
* If there's ever too many Gootraxians, there's nothing wrong with grabbing a bat and throwing yourself repeatedly at the crowd until it begins to break. Remember, so long as you hit more than one of them, you'll be out damaging more than they can heal.
** Bats have the same max hit count as Long Pipes, making them an effective tool against groups of Gootraxians, especially if you don't have a Long Pipe with you, or you are saving it.
* Having a bat in your inventory is vital, as it is able to be used as a practical weapon to stun enemies or take down less hostile enemies without damaging other tools in your inventory.
* Certain bat skins that glow may help you in a Power Outage or Blackout, as Flashlights only have a certain amount of time before they run out of power, but skins have no durability loss when equipped. Keep your bat in good shape to use it as a light.
