Bats are a type of blunt melee weapon featured in Dying Light.

Trivia
- In real life, Bats (in both Baseball and Cricket) are equipment used by batsmen/batters to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher in Baseball or the bowler in Cricket.
- The Cricket Bat is a possible reference to the Shaun of the Dead (2004) film, where one of the main character's weapon is a Cricket bat.
- Many of the bats in the game contain different unique labels and text on them. Below are the following,
- Classic Baseball Bat — A B logo on the bat, along with text saying "Power Play" and underneath it, "Made in China".
- Composite Baseball Bat — text saying "Ripper".
- Cricket Bat — 20/20 number.
- Remarkable Composite Baseball Bat — text saying "War Chief" and having an image of a war chief.
- Ferocious Baseball Bat — ?
- Green Reaper — two texts saying "Reaper".
- Harran Strikers Bat and Harran Gentlemen's Club — S logo.
- Loco — Money dollar signs along with the text "Rich".
- Wicked Baseball Bat and Deadly Baseball Bat — "Fight" text.
- Premium Baseball Bat — 13 number along with a checkered design.
- Superior Cricket Bat — text saying "War Chief" with images of barbed wire and a war chief.
- Bonebreaker Cricket Bat — Image of a skull with a helmet and crossed bones.
- Dragon Cricket Bat — Image of a Chinese dragon.
- Skullcracker Cricket Bat — ?
- Oddly, the Deadly Baseball Bat should be technically be titled Deadly Cricket Bat instead, as the bat isn't a baseball bat.
