The Batarang is a secondary weapon for the Flanker. It is a halved baseball bat with an axe blade inserted onto it, where it could resembled as a hatchet.
The initial damage, unlike the Sandman and Wrap Assassin, The Batarang does not have any reverse, or normal damage ramp-up, dealing a flat 60 damage from any range. It additionally deals mini-crits against bleeding enemies, though it will remove the bleeding de-buff if it hits a bleeding enemy (Unlisted). Although the "Cannot be picked up" is listed as a downside, it is actually meant to act as more of a note for players.
It does not damage buildings on direct hit due to being functioned as a thrown projectile and takes 8 seconds to recharge. This weapon is an effective finisher burst-damage secondary, it can also be used for a hit n' run play-style.
Keep in mind that it is a projectile, so the user will need to compensate for moving targets. Because this weapon is a projectile with a small hitbox, it gives the Flanker a high-skill, high-reward weapon which has powerful burst damage.

Tips
- If you know there are some enemies around the corner, quickly peek and throw the Batarang for some early burst damage.
- This weapon synergizes well with the Wrap Assassin and Brooklyn Basher, as it can mini-crit bleeding targets, leading to some powerful 1-2 combos if the Flanker is precise.
