Bat

bat is a melee item in item asylum. It is a gray, metal baseball bat.
==Functionality== 
Equipping bat causes the user to hold them item with both hands gripping the handle and the barrel of the bat slung over their shoulder.
Using bat causes the user to swing it in a horizontal motion in front of them, dealing 25 damage and inflicting moderate knockback and ragdoll. Each swing causes the user to alternate between left and right swings. The attack has a 5×5×5 stud hitbox and an approximately 0.8 second cooldown.
bat will instantly kill (although it shows 10,000 damage) and vaporize those with at least one of the following shop items equipped: 
*XD (emote)
*Magic (emote)
*Furry (tag)
This effect applies immediately upon striking the victim and will ignore all forms of protection against damage. Although the damage is displayed as a value, bat will instantly kill the target regardless of their health.
==Tips==
*bat's knockback is powerful enough to score environmental kills with as long as the victim is reasonably close to the edge.
* bat is capable of stun-locking enemies. However, this requires the wielder to either catch up with the victim or pin them into a corner.

== Trivia==
*Its tooltip and vaporization effects are based on the notorious genre of 'Transfur' games and their use of baseball bats as a self-defense tool. 
**Its original effect was dealing extra damage to players affected by the now-removed jar of latex, another item inspired by the said genre.
*The vaporization kills the opposing player similarly to the effects of death note, instant death and snap.
*bat's former cosmetic synergy with miami used to turn it wooden and was a reference to the Baseball Bat from Hotline Miami.
* bat's instant kill can affect juggernauts.
