Baseball Bat

Baseball bat takes an item slot, while holding RMB you go into a stance that lets you swing, if the killer is in the radius during the swing they are stunned for 3 seconds, after hitting the killer upper part of your bat is broken and it can be fixed with build to last one time before breaking completely.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

First we need to look at possible balance notes:

You can't use it near hooks when someone is being carried.

There should be a delay between entering a stance and swinging so the killer will have room for counterplay.

You can't stay in stance for too long to avoid camping chokepoints.

A sound cue plays when you start going into stance(a character inhales or smth like that).

If there will be more than one baseball bat, the killer recieves stun resistance after first hit.

This one may be a bit extreme but if bats will be too opressive we can give immunity to killers that carry survivors.

Perks like enduring should also work on baseball bats.

Baseball bats break or may as well exhaust you.

Radius of the swing is around the radius of killers M1.

After missing a swing you get out of stance

Now the way we can implement it in the game:


As a perk

You can rummage a chest to get one baseball bat per trial, they disappear after trial.(Unless you implement them as a whole item)

The perk should also give a small buff to the bat like removing scratch marks after stun for 2 seconds.

And in order to save killers from swfs with 4 bats just add stun resistance after first hit as mentioned before.


As an item with addons that can be chosen in lobby(Purple is a normal baseball bat, pink is covered in nails :D) Same way of countering swfs as before, they would also rarely spawn in chests and in that case perk can exist as well.


Last one is to spawn 1 baseball bat in a random chest in every trial, they disapear as the trial ends but can be repaired with built to last.

Item visuals:

Just a normal wooden baseball bat, after repairing it will be covered in duct tape and nails.

And maybe add some sort of skins for them like wooden plank or even crowbar :D

Sorry for making it a bit messy as english is not my main language but I hope you got the idea, I think it will be fun and quite easy to balance if implemented.
