Orkhepaj: In Hunt Showdown, they're a very good addition for the gun, but that has zombies you need to kill with melee to be as silent as possible.
MichaelD.965: For any game to satisfy Sabin's preference is totally fine, but a bayonet is just about the worst stabbing implement for stealth, a gun has too many metal parts that will make noise together with every impact. For a proper silent kill (of the living), you need a metal blade with a rubber handle going into a lung through the shoulder. (You can thank Christopher Lee's war experience for the last part.) So, do the same with a zombie's skull and hope the bone doesn't crunch too much.
well it is more silent than shoting :) it doesnt need to be total silent as zombies will give out sound when they die anyway
why do you need rubber handle?:O
i agree in rl those bayonets are not so good , maybe helps a little vs cavalry at close range or when your reload time is huge like with frontloaders and you just charge after first shot
but for games fun is more important than reality
