Baton

The Baton is a security nightstick designed specifically for striking. It is described across localizations as a patrol or guard nightstick intended to be used for bashing and close‑quarters impact attacks. Sources consistently present it as the standard blunt instrument associated with security personnel.

In practical terms the Baton functions as a simple, purpose-built melee implement for hitting targets at short range. It is characterized by its role rather than any exotic properties: it exists to be wielded to deliver blunt force. The item is commonly depicted as part of a security or guard loadout and is portrayed in all provided locales as an instrument meant for physically subduing or deterring opponents.

• Primary role: short-range blunt melee weapon for striking and subduing.
• Typical bearer: security or patrol personnel; described as a guard’s nightstick.
• Flavor: emphasizes solid, direct bashing rather than finesse or ranged capability.
• Availability and stats: not specified in the available localizations; the entries only describe purpose and intended use.

Use the Baton whenever a straightforward, close‑range blunt instrument is appropriate; treat it as the canonical security nightstick in the game world.
