Uses
Specifications
The Bayonet can be attached to any Rifle, Long Rifle, or Heavy Rifle (except the Sampo Auto-Rifle 77 and Catena rt.IV Auto-Rifle).
When equipped, it allows the rifle to stab a soldier, dealing 100 damage and instantly killing them (never wounded).
Only the Warden's Armour Uniform can reduce the damage to 40, requiring 3 stabs to kill.

- Equip a Rifle and the Bayonet into your inventory
- Equip the rifle out and attach the Bayonet by pressing
F(takes 3 seconds) - Press
LMB(without aiming) to melee attack anything in front of the player

- Turning while aiming with the bayonet allows the player to slash with it

Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot). It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
It can't be packed into crates.
Crates of Buckhorn CCQ-18 can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content. The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
While bayonets can guarantee killing players, they are situational weapons as they require the soldier to 'close the gap' between their foes. This tactic relies on speed and manoeuvrability, which is affected by the soldier's weight.
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.
Trivia
- The Bayonet is the only melee weapon in the game that is capable of killing both enemy and friendly soldiers
- Despite appearing on Home Region's Firing Range, in the same storage box as the shotgun's buckshot shells, the Bayonet is unable to be attached to, and used, with the shotgun.
