The Grand Slam Bat, like previously introduced melee weapons for LTMs, features two kinds of attacks: a light attack and a heavy attack. The former, evident from its name, allows players to dish out a flurry of offensive moves without much of a movement penalty.

However, when using the heavy attack, players must hold down the secondary fire button and charge up the attack.

While charging up, as per the intended game mechanics, the player's movement speed is reduced. Their ability to run, vault, and jump is penalized to prevent them from zooming around the battlefield, smashing home runs.

Gamers can trigger this bug by pressing the 'Inspect Weapon' key after charging up their Bat. Once done, they gain their original movement speed while retaining the power to deal a devastating heavy blow using the weapon.

Since the issue has been brought to light, we believe Respawn Entertainment and EA will quickly issue a hotfix patch to amend the problem. Furthermore, it is advised to avoid abusing such mechanics, as voluntarily opting to do so might get one banned in the game.
