Swatter vs Bat?

[Rizzly]

Both seem to be the same except the Swatter has a little more damage. Am I missing something?

Both can also be modified with the Nuka-world rocket mods and the result is 5-10 more damage for the Swatter.

Another question..Can you mod the 2076 World Series baseball bat with a rocket like the standard Bat?

Swatters are literally just bats with slightly higher damage and a different marking on them, yes. I'm pretty sure that the Rockville Slugger is also a Swatter as opposed to a normal Baseball Bat, meaning you get higher damage on top of the 40% vats increase - it's OP with Blitz, and is probably the best option for a melee character.

Also yes, the World Series bat can be fully upgraded with rockets and the like. It's not as good as the Shiny Slugger or Rockville Slugger, though.

Any special effects from legendary prefixes and whatnot are far more important than the minor differences in damage between a regular baseball bat and a swatter.

Thanks for the answers guys. Much appreciated :)

The world series bat has a chance to one shot kill with its effect if it activate and the body hit something like a wall.

How this works is that, you get two perks when you pick up the World Series Baseball bat.

Both are hidden, one only applies to the bat itself, the other is permanently attached to your character. The more interesting one that attaches to your character can activate the World Series Baseball Bat special effect (The Home Run effect) with ANY melee weapon, at a very low percentage based on your luck.

The World Series baseball bat has the same effect, that can trigger indepenedently.

When both these perks activate on the same swing, you get the instant-Kill launch.
