Wooden Bat

The Wooden Bat is a simple melee weapon used for hunting. It is a short-range weapon with a fast attack speed, and it damages targets in an arc in front of the player, making it useful for striking multiple nearby enemies at once. As an early hunting weapon, it serves as an accessible option for players who have just begun using combat tools.

It can be made at the Crafting Table after obtaining Hunting Licence Level 1 from Fletch. This places it among the first proper weapons available for players who start exploring hunting and combat progression. Because it is crafted rather than found, it is a straightforward upgrade path once the required licence has been unlocked.

The Wooden Bat's durability can be repaired at the Repair Table, allowing it to stay in use longer instead of being replaced immediately after taking damage. This makes it a practical early-game weapon to maintain while players are still building up resources and unlocking stronger equipment.

• Short range, but fast to swing.
• Attacks in an arc, which helps when enemies cluster close together.
• Crafted at the Crafting Table after unlocking Hunting Licence Level 1.
• Durability is repairable at the Repair Table.

Its combination of quick attacks and sweeping hits makes it effective for close-quarters hunting, especially against weak or tightly packed targets. While it is not a long-reach weapon, its speed helps compensate for its limited range.
