Baseball Bat > Steel Club

Please switch these around, or give us a metal bat option. Going from a BAT to a CLUB just feels like a downgrade

And how so? The Club is way superior. I mean look at it, there is no way a simple baseball bat out of metal would do more damage.

Yeah I do agree that technically a steel club would do more damage then a baseball but smashing zombies away for home runs using a baseball bat is just more fun and cool.

I think it’s one of 7DTD let downs to not have more effective and iconic zombie weaponary.

Tnh i can´t recall any movie/show where they use a metal baseball bat. I might be wrong, but i just can´t remember one.

Wood bats are the classic. Hard to improve on classic. ie Negan.

Quick hypothetical question. If society collapsed, which would be easier to do. Putting spikes thru a wooden bat or a metal one?

It seems to that a wooden bat would be much easier and more customizable than a metal one. But then I again I've never lived thru an apocalypse.

I would honestly rather have a spear like weapon for more distance and a machete for close up.

Roadsigns are everywhere so a spear is easy to get and nearly no one plays baseball here.

My one miner irritation with the intro to the game is, it throws the club as the first weapon. And that can presuppose one to select strength as the first skill tree. That precludes the spear and baton as the initial weapon.

It's more than likely the reason spears have always been an after thought to me.

Real metal baseball bats are made from hollow aluminium. They're lighter and less dense than the wooden ones, so they'd be a downgrade.

One of the mods said in a topic at the offical forums that they made strenght the easy way for new players hence why it is in the tutorial. And it kinda makes sense, it is the easiest to use. With the spear if you miss the head, it´s a sure miss, with the club you can still get a hit.

I like the spear, you often have small rooms where you can funnel them and the ability to poke trough 3 or 4 zombies at once is nice.

They don´t break as easy as a wooden one though.

I think the club is better (for combat) but the bat is more fun and I think it has a better reach.

I've wanted a steel bat for years.
+1 from me

theirs a reason why the scouts metal bat is bent, and its this very reason.

I want the AK to fire 7.62...and do similar damage to the AR...I get why they are different, but I so greatly prefer how the AK fires in game. The stutter of the AR irritates me.

I just want the bat to actually scrap TO THE MATERIALS IT'S SUPPOSED TO!
it's a reskinned iron club and uses the same ingredients as the old iron club but scraps to 7 pieces of wood....For that this game sucks!
