Pearce uses the baton to disarm and injure individuals. It can also be used in stealthy takedowns to silently knock out one's target. Currently, it is the only non-lethal weapon in the game, with the exception of EMP equipment in the Alone digital trip.

This weapon is sometimes incorrectly called an "Asp" by police officers and member of the public. This is actually an acronym brand name of a company (ASP Inc.) that makes most of the batons of this type used by police in the USA. Unlike batons made by ASP Inc, Aiden's baton is not a friction-lock as this would require him to strike it into a hard surface to close it. Rather, it appears to close via button-lock mechanism as he is seen in-game simply closing it with only his hands.

*Strangely, when tackling a suspect during a chase, the suspect doesn't make any noise as Aiden pulls out his baton. He only makes noise when being beaten by Aiden.

* Aiden appears to be wielding a 21 inch baton that doesn't quite follow the rules of regular expandable batons. Aiden appears to close it with ease, which would require a lot of strength to do! A majority of expandable batons are friction-lock, which would require a hard surface to forcefully smack against to close.
+
* Aiden appears to be wielding a 21 inch baton with mechanical lock system rather than a traditional friction-lock system seen on most of the collapsible batons on the market. Common collapsible batons require the user forcing the baton to collapse on a hard surface, while in the game Aiden collapses the baton using only his hands with ease, which can only be done on a mechanical lock baton. Real world counterparts of such batons do exists and offered by some high-end manufactures, like the lever loc batons offered by ASP USA.
