Apex Legends’ next limited-time mode is about to go completely unhinged — literally. As part of the upcoming Unhinged LTM leaked for Season 26, we’re getting one of the most chaotic melee weapons ever added to the game: the Bat.
That’s right. Not an heirloom skin. Not a skin for a hammer. We’re talking a fully playable LTM-exclusive melee weapon with dash strikes, combo hits, and an AOE-launching GRAND SLAM that turns your enemies (and friends) into airborne targets.
Here’s everything you need to know about the leaked Bat weapon, how it works, and why this is easily one of the wildest additions Apex has ever seen.
⚾ “BONK!” – Dash Melee with Style
The Bat’s basic ability is called BONK!, and it’s as fun as it sounds.
- Dash forward and hit an enemy with a 30 damage melee strike
- Has a 5-second cooldown
- Extremely fast and allows high-aggression melee pressure
Think Octane Stim meets Bangalore melee — it’s perfect for quick gap-closing, disrupting revives, or bonking enemies off ledges. BONK! is made for Movement legends, but deadly in anyone’s hands.
🥎 “STRIKE THREE!!” – Melee Combo System
Now here’s where it gets real.
STRIKE THREE!!is a full-blown 3-hit combo system, giving the Bat actual chaining potential:
- First hit: 30 damage
- Second hit: 40 damage
- Third hit: 60 damage
If you land all Three Strikes in sequence, you’re hitting for a total of 130 damage — without using a single bullet. That’s nearly enough to full-kill a blue armor enemy with just a baseball bat.
Expect highlight reels of Players weaving BONK dashes into triple-hit combos like they’re in a fighting game.
💥 “GRAND SLAM!!!” – Launching Area Attack
The Bat’s ultimate strike is called GRAND SLAM!!!, and it’s insane.
- Charged overhead swing
- Deals 75 damage in a small AOE
- Launches enemies (and teammates) into the air
- Applies a slow debuff for 2.5 seconds
- 12-second cooldown
It’s crowd Control, burst damage, and mobility disruption all in one. Whether you’re clearing out a squad stacked on high ground or flinging teammates to safety, GRAND SLAM is one of the most hilarious and strategic tools ever added to Apex.
Yes, you can even launch your squad with it. Madness.
