Similar in basic design to an electric cattle prod. It has a metal end split into two parts electrically insulated from each other. At the other end of the shaft are a handle and a switch. Both electrodes must touch the subject. — In-game description
The Stun Baton is a powered melee weapon in DayZ. It was first found in the files of Experimental patch 0.49 in August 2014, and was spawning between 0.49 and 0.62 patches. It is currently awaiting reimplementation.
Powered vs. Off[ | ]
It requires a battery to operate at its full potential. It lasts around six to eight hits on zombies and players. The stun baton is extremely effective in close quarters melee combat as (if there is a battery inserted), as it can knock players unconscious in one or two hits. This weapon does an additional 4000 shock damage when it is powered with an Alkaline Battery 9V.
