Weapon Overview

Design

The Baseball Bat in GTA V resembles a traditional wooden bat, with a long, solid body designed to deliver blunt-force trauma. Its straightforward design highlights its use as a no-nonsense melee weapon, offering devastating attacks in close-quarters combat. The sturdy build ensures it can deal significant damage to enemies with a single swing.

Performance
