[ [Happy laugh] Are you even tryin'?!
―Flanker, trolling you with the fish.

The Holy Mackerel is a melee weapon for the Flanker and takes the appearance of a mackerel partially wrapped with a paper.

This weapon is a reskin of the stock Bat, meaning it doesn't have any additional stats. However, it does keep track of your hits on the killfeed.

Upon a kill, Holy Mackerel's killfeed is represented within FISH KILL! instead of actual kill icon; it also displayed the amount of times an enemy is hit with the weapon prior to being killed.

Tips

  • The Holy Mackerel is a practically a reskin of the Bat, so the ability to crit enemies with low HP and that it pairs well with the Baby Face's Blaster still applies.
  • But that's not all! The Holy Mackerel has a hidden ability: it shows your hits on the killfeed.
    • You can hit your teammates to see if they're disguised Agents, as long as you check the killfeed for confirmation.
    • If any of your teammates bother to look at the killfeed, they can see which enemies you hit and take a mental note which enemies will be easier to kill.
