In-game description

The Buckhorn CCQ-18 (also known as a Bayonet) is a Rifle attachment specially designed to stab and kill enemy soldiers at close range. When equipped, it allows the rifle to be used in close, and long-range engagements. Unlike other weapons, it is a one-hit kill, where it will instantly kill a player and not wound them.

Use

The Bayonet can be attached to any Rifle, Long Rifle, or Heavy Rifle, with some exceptions.

In order to use the Bayonet:

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

Pressing LMB while aiming with RMB fires the rifle normally

  • Turning while aiming with the bayonet allow the player to slash with it

Tactics

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.

For Colonial players, a Warden equipped with a Gunner's Breastplate uniform is harder to kill, as it takes three stabs to kill them, as the uniform gives the wearer increased melee defense.

Trivia

  • The Bayonet is the only melee weapon in the game that is capable of killing both enemy and friendly soldiers
  • The Sampo Auto-Rifle 77 and the Catena rt.IV Auto-Rifle are the only rifles that cannot equip bayonets.
