The Rally Racket is a melee weapon for the Flanker. It is a reskin of the Sandman that takes on the appearance of a badminton racket and replaces the baseball with a team-colored shuttlecock. Although it takes on the appearance of a badminton racket, it still makes the same sounds as the Sandman.
The Rally Racket could have previously been obtained via item drops during the A "Heavy" Update and Summer FM events.

Tips[]
- The Rally Racket has a big difference: the projectile. The Sandman uses a baseball which can roll, but the Rally Racket's shuttlecock will stay still once it lands somewhere. Depending on the situation, it will be easier or harder to grab the shuttlecock in order to launch it again.
- The Rally Racket's shuttlecock is good to use if you're near a cliff or if you have trouble finding the Sandman's baseball since it keeps rolling.
- The Sandman's baseball is good if you're in an environment where it can easily roll back to you.
This content is transcluded from Sandman § Tips
- Because the Sandman's ball causes enemies to flinch, this weapon is a direct counter against Marksmen, whose shots are very precise. The ball can throw off their aim to make them miss their targets.
- You can also screw over Brutes with the Sandman's ball, which will allow you to get some free hits in while the flinch effect freezes their aim in a different direction.
- Try to hit vulnerable enemies with the Sandman ball, the flinching effect can disrupt the battle, allowing you and your team to strike.
- Remember that the further away your target is, the more damage you'll deal with the ball.
- Try doing this to get a headstart on a fight while approaching an enemy.
- Even while up close, the ball does 30 damage, which is more or less the same as a shot from a Lever Shotgun. Use the ball if your primary weapon has an empty clip and you can't reload.
