Melee weapons may not be as crucial as guns in Once Human, but they still provide much-needed relief when monsters get a little too close for comfort. Having a decent melee weapon can help you survive such emergencies, and if you're looking for a reliable pick, look no further than the Stun Baton.

The Stun Baton is widely accepted as one of the best melee weapons in Once Human. It's handy in a pinch, fairly cheap to craft, and doesn't need any investment to be useful. If you haven't gotten the blueprints for this weapon yet, here's where you can find it.

Once Human Stun Baton Location

Weapon Crates and boss chests have a chance to drop Stun Baton. These cannot be repaired, though they may come pre-upgraded.

You can get the Stun Baton's BP fragments by going to Holt Town, a medium-sized Stronghold just northeast of Tall Grass Inn in Chalk Peak. The fragments are inside Holt Town's Mystical Crate, which is in the big museum near the center of town.

Once you enter the museum, head to the second floor via one of the elevators. However, doing so will cause the entire building to go on lockdown, and Deviants will start chasing after you. An AOE weapon like the Once Human's Frozen Northern Pike is great for fighting in tight spaces like this. Once you arrive at the second floor, arrows will point you to a quarantined section of the building, but it will be locked. To open the door, look for a keycard on one of the long tables on the second floor.

Grab the keycard, open the door, and get rid of the Deviants inside. Open the Mystical Crate to get the Stun Baton fragments, and either teleport back home or explore the rest of the Stronghold. The museum quarantine will only lift once all Deviants inside are dead, though you could always escape via the elevator in the Mystical Crate room.

Stun Baton Stats And Special Effects

The Stun Baton is one of the few melee weapons that can inflict Status damage in Once Human. This one in particular has an 80% chance to inflict Power Surge on light attacks, dealing additional Shock DMG on-hit and reducing the enemy's Accuracy by 40 for a short duration. Heavy attacks with the Stun Baton inflict another instance of Shock DMG to targets already affected with Power Surge.

By default, a Tier V Stun Baton with a non-enhanced blueprint has the following stats:

  • Damage: 1064
  • Attack Speed: Average
  • Attack Range: Average
  • Crit Rate: 5%
  • Weakspot DMG: 20%
  • Crit DMG: 25%

The base damage of this weapon can be improved by feeding it Operator-tagged weapon fragments via the Enhancement screen. You can check what tag a weapon has by going to the Blueprints screen and checking its icon.
