Baseball bat (Fallout 3)

The baseball bat is a melee weapon in Fallout 3.
==Characteristics==
The baseball bat is a common melee weapon found in the wasteland. While useful for close combat with raiders, they are not particularly effective against the more durable foes found throughout the wasteland.
All things considered, Fallout 3's baseball bat is a decent melee weapon for early use and helps to preserve ammunition when starting out in the wasteland.
===Durability===
The baseball bat can successfully strike about 889 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Curse Breaker - A unique baseball bat that was cut from the base game. If it is equipped on the PC version, it makes the player character disappear. This does not help with sneaking.
* Excalibat - Another cut baseball bat in the base game. The name "Excalibat" is a nod to the FPS Rise of the Triad: Dark War weapon of the same name.
==Locations==
* Vault 101, during the beginning of Escape! It is in the Lone Wanderer's room, leaning on a desk with the BB gun and 50 BB pellets.
* If the Wasteland explorer theme is purchased for the player character's home in Megaton, a baseball bat will be included in the setup.
* In Minefield, near the mattress where Arkansas snipes at the player character.
* 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 a few propped up against the fence of the baseball field at Fordham Flash Memorial Field, along with other baseball equipment.
* Raiders sometimes carry one.
* In the north shack of Evergreen Mills.
* Rivet City flight deck, at the home plate on the baseball field along with a baseball and a baseball glove.
* In the 2nd part of Taft Tunnel, along with a baseball and a baseball glove.
* Many can be found in various parts of Roosevelt Academy.
==Notes==
* This will most likely be the first melee weapon the player will pick up in the game, aside from the police baton.
* The Takoma Park Little Leaguer cap adds +5 damage to the baseball bat.
* The bat is branded on one side with a machine-imprinted "B" in an ovoid shape. Beneath the logo are the words "Since 1879," suggesting the bat's manufacturer had been producing sporting goods since the 19th century.
* With all perks, the samurai armor and the Takoma Park Little Leaguer cap, the baseball bat does 29.5 damage.
