WARNING
The Xeno-Basher is a melee weapon that shocks enemies, dealing 9 damage. It is a direct upgrade of the 
Xeno-Zapper, with greater range and damage. Thus, it is advised to unlock and craft it as soon as possible. It also guarantees a stagger when it hits a charging Hog.

Usage[]
Equipment[]

).
Crafting[]
Xeno-Basher isn't used to craft anything.

Tips[]
- When fighting against fast-moving creatures, like Flying Crabs, Stingers or Fluffy-tailed Hogs, it is advised to use the Xeno-Basher over the
Rebar Gun as the latter is suitable only for slow-moving targets.
- A Xeno-Basher can cleave more than 1 Flying Crab in a swing attack, but nothing larger.
- It can be advantageous even when compared to the Rifle as it does not require ammo, thus saving your inventory slots.
Trivia[]
- It was originally called the Shock Baton in the alpha.
- A small wrench keychain dangles from the hand guard and swings around loosely as the weapon is swung.
- Shocks continually travel up the center of the weapon like a Jacob's Ladder.
- Occasionally, the pioneer will do a sort of wrist flick to activate the Xeno-Basher. The original method is to just hold it and activate the Xeno-Basher.
- The handle is almost identical to the handle of the Xeno-Zapper.
