Do we have any on the idea on what stats are affected and by how much?

Edit: Apparently, even though such modifier exists, it’s not connected to all weapons which have bayonet. i.e. following numbers only apply to certain bunch of weapons.

Based on the modifiers’ filenames, bayonets do the following spread/recoil changes:

• Semi-auto weapons

  • HIP min spread: 0.6x

  • HIP movement spread penalty: 0.5x

• Non semi-auto weapons

  • HIP min spread: 0.667x

  • HIP movement spread penalty: 0.667x

Note that I assumed the weapon groups based on modifier name. To be absolute sure you’d have to check each weapon individually to see which bayonet they are using

Also bayonet seems to increase the time it takes weapon to be ready for firing after sprint: e.g. for M1907 SL Sweeper having bayonet on increases the SprintRecoveryTimeMultiplier from 0.266x to 0.666x. which means ~2.5x increase in time getting ready to fire after sprint. However I can’t say for sure this applies to all weapons just by looking at this one.

From the original thread, Labby:

"Don’t always trust the modifier names!

Look at MP18 gunsway.

Go down to the ModifierUnlocksArray.

Check the GUID for the unlock asset for the bayonet modifier: 19EE24CD2C77EF44A9EB97E29CA7202D

Now check MP18 unlocks for that GUID.

U_MP18_BayonetCenter has the GUID 42e1b3da1ef59d47a8487f9586858511 which is not what activates the bayonet modifier.

The unlock that actually has the right GUID is U_MP18_Package_Trench.

Even though the modifier is called bayonet, it’s actually the modifier you get with a trench package equipped.

So what does U_MP18_BayonetCenter actually do? It’s GUID doesn’t appear in the gunsway file, so check the weapon blueprint.

It appears twice. Once in socket data, this stuff turns the visual parts of attachments on and off, which makes sense if the bayonet unlock is showing/hiding our bayonet.

And it appears in weapon modifier data as 00000045. So we’ll see what 00000045 is referring to by seeing where that is referenced in the blueprint.

It refers to a WeaponSprintSettingsModifier that says to use SprintSettings 00000044. That happens to appear just above in the blueprint and it says “SprintRecoverTimeMultiplier 0.666”. And just above that in the blueprint is the default SprintSettings which say “SprintRecoverTimeMultiplier 0.266”.

So what the bayonet is actually doing is causing you to take 2.5x as long to transition out of sprinting before you can fire."
