Considering the type of business you're involved in with Schedule 1, it's important to be mindful of your safety and self-defense, as you never know when someone might try to intimidate, rob, or simply attack you. In such moments, it's crucial to know where to find something simple—perhaps not overly effective, but useful—for defending yourself. For instance, a baseball bat.

Where to Find a Baseball Bat in Schedule 1

The baseball bat is the first melee weapon a player can acquire at the beginning of the game. Its value lies not only in the damage it can inflict but also in the sense of security it provides when you're on the streets or engaging in risky activities. It's not difficult to obtain, but you need to know where to look.

Start by heading to the motel—your first base. From the motel, go north, and you'll soon see stairs leading down to a small road. Cross the road, and directly opposite, you'll find a fenced basketball court, partially hidden by debris. Head to the southeast corner of the court—there's a small passageway. Enter and immediately turn right. The bat will be leaning against the fence right by the entrance.

How to Use the Bat in Schedule 1

Pick it up using the interaction key (E on the keyboard). It takes up one slot in your inventory, so make sure there's space available. To equip the bat, scroll the mouse wheel or press the appropriate hotkey. Once in hand, simply click the left mouse button to swing it.

What the Bat is Used for in Schedule 1

The bat isn't just for fighting. It's perfect for calming aggressive NPCs or those who get in your way. But it also has another use. For example, hitting an ATM will cause it to dispense money. This can become a small but steady source of income if you're willing to take the risk and avoid getting caught by the police. In Schedule 1, caution is rarely rewarded, but reckless actions always have consequences. Use the bat wisely—or be prepared for trouble.

Of course, later on, you can buy a bat from a trader named Stan. Although it's not very expensive, it's better to save this option for later when you have more money. However, be smart: the bat on the basketball court is free, reliable, and available from the start. If quick protection and effectiveness are important to you, don't wait, go and get it.

Can the Baseball Bat be Upgraded in Schedule 1

The baseball bat has no upgrade options and doesn't look particularly flashy. But it's functional, always at hand when needed, and does its job well. In a game where things can spiral out of control at any moment, sometimes a wooden or metal stick and a strong swing are all you need for peace and safety.
