Melee · —

The franchise's signature street weapon — a wooden bat that stuns and downs pedestrians in two or three swings. Used in early Grove Street missions and easy to pick up around basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and gang turf.
The Baseball Bat is a common melee weapon present in every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto III.
The Baseball Bat is one of the first melee weapons featured in the series. It is, by far, the easiest weapon to obtain, with one always at the safehouse in the games taking place in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and a common sight throughout the other games. The baseball bat is also commonly seen in the hands of gangsters, mobsters, and sometimes civilians.
