Worms computer games/Baseball Bat

The baseball bat is a highly effective weapon for targeting a single enemy worm. After moving alongside your victim, aim the crosshairs and whack.

The effectiveness of this weapon lies in the fact that you can aim a victim into the water, thus killing him regardless of how much energy he has. Additionally, you can aim so that the first victim flies into a second victim, knocking them both into the water. If two enemy worms are right next to each other, you can whack them both. If you knock an enemy directly into the water, you can hear a special sound effect.

If you cannot hit the victim all the way to the water, you can aim towards a land mine, or over precipice. In games with more than two players, the bat can be used drive an enemy closer to another team's worm, so when the first worm's turn comes around he will go after the other team's worm.

Usually, however, if the water is out of reach it is better to use the fire punch to knock worms around, because these are unlimited in most schemes, unlike baseball bats.
