This all-American, hardwood, baseball bat will knock anything right out of the park.Fallout 2 description

The Louisville Slugger is a Melee Weapon in Fallout 2.

Characteristics

One of the best two-handed melee weapons, second only to the super sledge. One disadvantage is that, like the super sledge, it knocks back opponents, forcing the user to chase a target to hit it more than once a turn. That said, it is great for crowd-controlling hand-to-hand attackers because, when holding position, they're forced to move back again, and will probably make fewer attacks as a result.

Locations

It is received as a reward for helping Ethyl Wright bust up Wright's still.

Behind the scenes

The bat is named for the real-life brand of baseball bats manufactured by Hillerich & Bradsby.
