Usage & Tactics
As with any light melee weapon, well aimed precise strikes should be used as opposed to spam swinging due to depleting your your stamina very quickly. Paired with the bleed and fast mobility, players with heavier weapons will struggle to reach you and can be outran very easily. The bayonet is also a surprisingly good ambush weapon as it can down a player in 4 hits and swings quite fast, just be aware that any armor will negate a lot of your base damage on top of the bleed.
Pros & Cons
Fast time-to-kill. Almost always in stock. Cheap. Only takes 1.5 slots. Causes bleed. Automatically unlocked. Takes only 4% stamina. Able to be found in low tier Scrap Piles. Can be blocked by most weapons. Cannot block. Outclassed by most other weapons. Short range.
