The Sword Bayonet is a melee weapon in Guts and Blackpowder reserved for the Infantry class. This armament is unique for serving as both a standalone blade and as an attachment for the Rifle. The Sword Bayonet can be used by players who prefer a ranged playstyle to defend themselves in close-quarters, should the need arise. At the same time, its damage values as a standalone sword are decent as well, making it a good primary weapon.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Sword Bayonet in Guts and Blackpowder.

Stats and combat viability
The Sword Bayonet has two different damage stats based on whether it’s used as a standalone weapon or in tandem with the Rifle. As a standalone blade, the Sword Bayonet deals 30 damage per hit, while as a Bayonet, its damage stat is 60 per hit. Upon landing a headshot with it, the damage values will be multiplied by 1.65x.
Its effectiveness is modest as a regular blade, but it shines as a Bayonet. When used as a Bayonet, its special ability comes into effect, which multiplies the damage dealt by Charge-style moves by 500%. This makes it a great option for dealing with solitary enemies.
Note that when it is attached to a Rifle, the Sword Bayonet does impact the reloading time of the gun. You are unlikely to be impacted by this slowdown much in multiplayer as other players can help cover for the additional reloading time. If you play on your own, the reduced reloading speed is impactful enough to warrant caution while playing. Consider ensuring your Rifle is always loaded and ready to be fired before engaging in combat.
