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.
