Eat it, fatty!
The Scout

The Holy Mackerel is an unlockable replacement for the Scout's Bat and is part of the Polycount Update. It appears as a fish with wrapping shaped for easy handling. It has no attributes that differ from the Scout's regular bat.

Being slapped by a fish is so humiliating that the kill feed records every connecting swipe, displaying a number corresponding to the number of hits made (so hitting an enemy three times will display a "x3"). Having one's health completely drained by an ectotherm is even more morally depleting, such that the kill feed will proudly proclaim "FISH KILL" every time.

Trivia

  • Based on its appearance, the fish is a chub mackerel.
  • 42 is a reference to Douglas Adams' novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • Plays a custom, "Squish!" sound when it hits an opponent.
  • Based on the fact that its stats do not differ from the regular bat, the Holy Mackerel is in the most basic sense a reskin of the bat.
