Attach/detach bayonet

oh so SIGNED.

I think 100% of the player population wants bayonets OFF as default and the ability to add them.

At least 100% of the RO population does and nearly 100% of those new to the RO franchise.

Ever since I saw the "Weapon alternate function" key in the beta, I had a really strong feeling that it was going to be an optional "push key to equip bayonet" type of deal. I'm kind of disappointed with how it is presently (perma-attached) primarily because of two reasons: The first is because the bayonet extends the visible length of the rifle and when clearing rooms, firing from behind cover, or firing out of windows it provides the enemy with even more visual information on whether it's just a cluster of pixels, or if it is an enemy player's rifle sticking out.

The second reason is more nostalgic from RO:Ostfront 41-44 and by this I mean the beloved bayonet charges that happened periodically. Usually you kept the bayonet off your rifle for more accuracy, but as you and your teammates got into close combat, it was amazing how everyone always seemed to fix bayonets and charge into a cap zone or building to clear it out when the mood was right. There've been times where I was hiding outside of a building with 5 teammates, most with bolt-action rifles, and we knew we needed to clear out the place room by room- only instead of everyone fixing their bayonets preparing for the thrill of CQC, they already have their bayonets fixed and it feels somewhat lifeless for me.

+1

Though, I'm pretty sure Tripwire would've understood by now that its community wanted detachable and attachable bayonets. Nothing says fun like having your squad mount bayonets screaming "Za rodinu!" beginning a charge. Would do well for Rising storm too. BANZAAAAAAI!

I'm pretty sure the bayonet is not detachable because they ran out of time. It really sucks having it perma fixed on (as well as the other unlocks). I hope this is fixed, it is just another thing keeping ro2 down.

I want this, mainly for the increased length and firing from windows. The bayo extends through the window and makes you a very vulnerable target.

Also the nostalgia is a nice extra

It should be like in the first game tbh.

When your in a realism match, the commander gives the order, and 20 something guys attach bayonets at the same time, it is EPIC.

if it ain't broke don't fix it. add this option with 6 or somthing also add it so we can detach and attach stuff in the weapon stats menu or somthing. so i don't always have a scope if i don't want it.

For attachments the Class Menu would be a perfect place to pick if you want them on or off.
