Baton (DX)

A telescopic baton is a non-lethal melee weapon used by peace-keeping and riot-control forces all over the world. A few whacks can knock a target unconscious.

A baton can be found on a dead UNATCO soldier in Liberty Island. He's just past the pier the player spawns on when he starts the game.

Tactics
The baton is great for a pacifist run. It does a decent amount of damage and it knocks enemies unconscious. It can also destroy supply crates with ease. Remember to hit the enemy's back and/or head for maximum effectiveness!

In a non-pacifist runthrough, the baton is an interesting alternate to the usual combat knife or crowbar as a backup weapon. Use it to finish off enemies and/or break open supply crates.
