CONTROL BATON

     The UCB-24 Ultor Control Baton is a crowd control weapon that can serve as both a truncheon as well as a stun gun. That basically means you can whip this baby out and club someone to death or you can tazer them and find out what a whole lot of volts at high amperes can do to a man. This is the first weapon you obtain in the game, though you won't use it for very long, as there is always an abundant supply of ammunition for at least one of the other weapons. You'll only find pesky Ultor riot troops equipped with these weapons and they can be a pain if you're not ready for them as they run directly at you swinging and don't stop until they're dead.

  • Primary Fire: Overhand swing.
  • Alternate Fire: Electric shock.
  • Pros: Unlimited ammunition for the swing, and an ammusing electric shock alternate fire. Can club while underwater
  • Cons: More of a novelty weapon. Electric shock can be sometimes difficult to get on a person, no auto-aim function for the PS2 version.
  • Recommendation: Use it if you want, but you'll find yourself rarely switching to it during the actual game unless it's to torture a few "innocent" bystanders whom were stupid enough to sign up for Ultor.
