Cricket bats are light melee weapons in We Happy Few.
Overview[]
Cricket bats are good mid-game weapons. They have long range, swing incredibly fast, degrade very slowly, and can hit multiple targets at the same time with the Chain Sweep skill. The playable character will hold the bat with both their hands, and swing it broadly to hit their target.
Cricket bats can be wielded by both Wellies and Wastrels.
The less effective variant is called the Flimsy Cricket Bat.

The bat consists a short handle wrapped in thread, which is attached to a long, double-edged wooden block known as the blade.
