Summary
The Baton is an extendable steel baton that takes law enforcement to a brand new intensity. Being available in Armories, the weapon proceeds to do a base damage of 18 and takes up 2 inventory slots. A more defensive choice, The Baton is designed to fend off enemies and can down people relatively quickly. Despite being short range, its swing pattern extends it farther past its actual hitbox, resulting in you sometimes completely missing targets close to you. The fast swing rate can mitigate this, however. The Baton has a head shot stun effect, which benefits it greatly. Every time you hit an unarmored foe in the head, they'll get stunned and fall over. With a lot of precision and practice, it's possible to stun lock someone until they're no longer a threat. This weapon is best used as a defensive weapon as the store description states, as this is great against unarmored players as it can theoretically down a player within 6 light hits.
