You're definitely not vibing with the video game logic- You're referring to the baseball bat as a 'piece of wood', But in game it's not just a piece of wood. Heck, IRL it's not 'just a piece of wood'.

The Pipe Shotgun is a Tier 1 weapon as explained above- What neither of them mentioned however is that both the Baseball Bat and Sledgehammer are Tier 2 weapons. And that tier jump makes a HUGE difference.

The Baseball bat is a tier 2 Club type weapon- The T1 version being the wooden club you craft 60 seconds into a new game to complete the tutorial. The Sledgehammer is the Tier 2 version of sledge weapons; The T1 version being the Stone sledge that you can optionally craft like 90 seconds into a new game.

And being T2 weapons, They reflect that in their stats and usability.


Also, You want to talk about a level 1 bat vs a level 6 bat? Go pick up a random tree branch and swing it at a few baseballs/trees/etc- Chances are it's going to break pretty quick. Take a professionally made machined and pressed major league bat though and you could be striking balls/trees/etc with that thing for weeks months or years before it breaks, you'll get a superior swing, a superior grip, a more comfortable grip, and more- That is the difference between a low quality item and a high quality one.

Quality Matters. And if you honestly haven't figured that out through the rest of the things in your life, I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for you or praise your luck to have never experienced bad(or good?) product. Have you really never tried out a cheap chinese imitation of a good item and noticed just how shoddy they are in comparison? I mean, yeah, technically they work, Kindof... But they do a very poor job of it and break easily. That's a difference in quality.
