Left 4 Dead 2 gets cricket bat, doesn’t go to the Winchester

One of the biggest additions in Left 4 Dead 2 is a selection of brand new melee weapons with which to bash away the ravening horde. We’ve seen fire axes and frying pans, but Valve has revealed that the zombie-flavored followup is going all Shaun of the Dead on us, introducing cricket bats to the arsenal. 

Any Brit knows that the cricket bat is the ultimate undead-basher. Its durability, weight and ability to slice or batter depending on the situation makes it an ideal weapon in the fight against the infected. As for how useful it is in the game, Valve isn’t saying, but the above image appears to demonstrate that it’ll be quite the handy tool indeed. 

… And dogs can’t look up.
