Overview
The Baseball Bat is a wooden club and the only melee weapon in GTA III besides fists. It features in the final Southside Hoods mission, Rumble, where Claude must win a bat brawl.
Performance
It hits much harder than fists and can knock a pedestrian out in a few swings. It is quiet and cheap but leaves Claude exposed against gunmen.
How to get
Bats lie around Liberty City as pickups, for example in Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up and in Rumble. The Diablos and other gangs carry them too.
Tips
- In Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up, use the bat on the SPANK dealer instead of wasting ammunition.
- In Rumble, keep moving and attack enemies one at a time.
- Switch to a gun as soon as a fight escalates beyond close range.
Spawn locations
- Outside every safehouse from the start of the game
- Carried by Diablos, Triads and Uptown Yardies
Notes
The bat is the only melee weapon in GTA III; early beta builds even let you sprint while holding it.
