While bayonets can guarante killing players, they are situational weapons as they require the soldier to 'close the gap' between their foe. This tactic relies on speed and maneuverability, which is affected by the soldier's Encumbrance.
Bayonets are useful for decrewing vehicles with exposed crews, such as Field Guns, Bicycles, and Motorcycles. It cannot hit soldiers inside enclosed vehicles or structures. This tactic is useful if the player wants to capture a vehicle, without potentially destroying it.
