Bayonet

Description

Historical Introduction
The Bayonet is a dagger/knife which is designed to fit the muzzle of a rifle or similar firearm. There have been many designs over the years but this particular Bayonet is based off of the Socket Bayonet which was used throughout history, replacing the Plug Bayonet in 1697.

Game Use
The Bayonet is an attachment to the Martini-Henry, being the only melee weapon to do this. As a melee weapon, it has a mid range just over the Zulus' spears and an average thrusting speed. It can also block by clicking and holding Right Click, to mixed results.

To activate the Bayonet, you must press X whilst not aiming the Henry and to take the bayonet off you must press B (there is no benefit to this and reattaching it with give the Henry a black tip at the end of the barrel).

The bayonet only has 2 animations: The Attacking Animation which shows the player thrusting the Martini-Henry forwards and The Defending Animation which shows the player holding the Martini-Henry horizontally.

Cost and Value
The Bayonet comes default with the Martini-Henry, which is free. being the only weapon in the game to not have a GamePass.
