Neither of the two databases we cross-check publishes damage or durability figures for this piece. We leave those blank rather than fill them with an estimate — if you see a guide quoting exact numbers here, it invented them.

Carrying it
Melee is silent, never runs out, and works in every weather. It also has a backstab bonus and an overhead stab to the head that deals double damage — see the tips page. The cost is reach, and the fact that anything you hit is already close enough to hit you.
You cannot buy this one. Weapons turn up in the field as well as the shop — weapon crates hold a randomised piece — so this is free kit rather than a purchase decision.

Spike Bayonet questions
How much damage does the Spike Bayonet do in The Mound?
Neither database we cross-check publishes a damage figure for the Spike Bayonet. Rather than estimate one, we leave it blank — any guide quoting an exact number for this weapon is guessing.
How much does the Spike Bayonet cost?
It isn't sold in the shop aboard the Tempestad. It turns up in the field instead — weapon crates are the usual source.
