Gandalf the White (DayZ) 72 Posted March 12, 2014 I honestly want them to work, I feel like my options are so limited when it comes to hand to hand combat. I'm almost always forced to shoot vs being shot at then being able to bayonet someone or a zed. Hell I'd be satisfied with a butt-stroke or using the gun as a bludgeon if no ammo is available. Also they should have the same damage value as a splitting axe at least. Not a fire axe, but definitely a splitting axe. So many Ideas come to mind.... /sigh. Imagine all the bambis you could kill with a functioning bayonet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy_Spider 235 Posted March 12, 2014 Bayonets do work. Let me explain the process.Steps.1.) Pick up Bayonet.2.) Equip Bayonet into hand.3.) Press space bar to raise Bayonet.4.) Smack things in the face with it, because body shots are useless. I honestly want to see THIS. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He probably most likely meant bayonets attached onto weapons to work as a melee weapon in forms of stabbing or slashing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antykain 200 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) THIS!Must..Have...NOW!!!! (please..)But in all seriousnessness, ness.. Bayonets being used as a melee weapon, while attached to the weapon, are coming from what I understand and a WIP. On the 'to do' list.Check out this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft-TdYc3cKw Seems the coding is in place for it, just not able to use it yet. Thanks to Deevote for the vid.

I'm just telling him that bayonets do work, they do their job. I use them as a very legit weapon when stabbing zombies on my way to Balota. They also open cans, just as their ign desc says :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted March 12, 2014 Are you not finding any melee weapons or something? They do exist are are quite useful in melee combat.Really though, it's being worked on, would be silly for them to have them if they didn't. Just be smart about when to have your gun out and when to have your ax/fists out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishroy 1347 Posted March 12, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft-TdYc3cKw I thought some-1 said, this was a bugged animation for the fire-extinguisher. but it would also fit for a bajonet, yes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chucknorris405 83 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I'd be satisfied with a butt-stroke Fixed that for you............................ no in all honesty im pretty excited for a more complex melee system, i just hope it turns out well Edited March 13, 2014 by Chucknorris405 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
