The Nightstick as it appears in Manhunt 2

The Nightstick is a Blue Class weapon that appears in both Manhunt games.

In Manhunt it takes 11 light attacks in combo or 6 heavy attacks to knock down a hunter with it. It is a weapon used by the Carcer City Police Department, the Cops, The Watchdogs, the Project Militia, and the Asylum Orderlies.

The real life equivalent is the Monadnock Brand, model PR-24, a 24 inch long side-handled, polycarbonate, riot-control baton.

Manhunt 2

Violent: The end of the Nightstick is hit into the hunter's lower back, as the hunter bends over in agony, Danny/Leo hits the hunter in his shoulder region, causing him to fall to his knees. He then puts the weapon across the hunter's neck, pulls back and snaps his neck. He then uses the weapon to push the dead hunter over.

Danny/Leo then hits the hunter in the head again, then two times in the leg, then two times more in the back, then again in the head, then two times more in the head. As he sees that the hunter lay dying he gets ready to hit the hunter again but doesn't. With the weapon still raised over his head, Danny/Leo hits the hunter two times in the head just to make sure that he's really dead.
Jumping: Danny/Leo jumps down and hits the hunter on the back of the head as he lands, causing the hunter to drop to his knees. Danny/Leo then finishes off the hunter by hitting him first on the right side of his head and then on the left side.

In Manhunt, a Nightstick can be seen on the utility belt of every Carcer City police officer. It is purely cosmetic, however, and the player cannot use or interact with it in any way.
In Manhunt 2, in Awakening, you can see Dixmor Asylum orderlies fighting inmates with Nightsticks behind locked gates. The Nightstick can only be obtained in this episode with the use of a trainer. To do this, the player must fly past the gates and kill the orderlies, then take the Nightstick.
A Nightstick can be spawned in Trained to Kill by using a trainer.
