Summary
The Bayonet is an item that can be attached to any musket to allow the player to engage in melee combat. However, applying a bayonet to a musket causes the weapon's accuracy to decrease due to the additional weight. The bayonet cannot be used independently as its own melee weapon.
Crafting
The player must be at Novice proficiency in the Smithing profession, and must use an anvil. The bayonet requires:
- 1 Iron Ingot
- 1 Cosmetic Metal (any ingot)
Function
The Bayonet is usually used in close quarters melee combat. It only has 2 swings of stamina. Each swing does 50 damage each. Some may opt out for a boarding axe which does 65 damage, the downside being it is a bit slower.
