Spiked Bat (Dead Rising 2)

The spiked bat is a combo weapon found in Still Creek and Fortune City. It is crafted after combining a Baseball bat and a Box of nails. The spiked bat is the first weapon Chuck will craft, and also the first combo card he receives. It can be constructed many times at the beginning of the storyline, as there is always a Baseball bat and a Box of nails in the first maintenance room.

Due to how easy it is to obtain the spiked bat and how many hits it will withstand, the Spiked Bat is one of the most effective weapons in Dead Rising 2. It can one-shot normal zombies, and is very effective at sweeping multiple enemies out of the way.

Attacks

 * Primary: Horizontal swing, capable of killing and/or knocking down several zombies at once. Each zombie hit awards 50 PP. Initiated by pressing.
 * Secondary: By holding down, Chuck jabs a zombie in the torso,knocking it back, followed by a strike to the head with it, with the nails sticking into its forehead. Each kill rewards 200 PP.

Trivia

 * Like the paddlesaw, the spiked bat seems to be one of the premier weapons for Chuck, as he is wielding it on the Japanese box art.
 * Chuck does not need to find a combo card for this weapon in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, as it is unlocked from the very beginning.
 * The secondary attack for the Spiked bat is used in the Saw Video game by the main character.
