Is it me, or does the bayonet charge seem to miss more than it should? Don't get me wrong charging somebody down with a pointy stick at the end of your gun is fun, however it seem that more often than not you will run right past them. This is not only a joy killer, but you will probably get wrecked by the guy you just missed. Anybody else think so?

Hey... { @Gund4meister } i don't have this problems... [Am not working for EA, If is answer good pls give me XP or accept as solution.] Thanks for using ANSWERS HQ!

@calebthedude11I don't use bayonet charge a lot either, I was just finishing up a challenge, and realized it's still the same as it was months ago. I like to bayonet people, but sometimes it's not reliable. 😃

@scoobymandan That is pretty normal, and happens because mortar technically is a vehicle (and you can't bayonet charge people in vehicles). On bayonet charge power, until May 30th update, bayonet charge in main game was way stronger than during beta - you could strafe and make 90-degree turns on the spot. However, it has been nerfed last week. Here is the quote from update notes: Changes to bayonet charge: o Activated aiming speed modifier during prepare state as well as charge state. This means a player can rotate a maximum of 50 degrees during the prepare state. Also added an input modifier disabling strafe while charging. o Adding subtle boost to third person footsteps when bayonet charging to increase threat awareness. Boosted volume of Enemy VO for Bayonet Charge when close to player. o Slightly reduced maximum turn rate while charging. o Removed damage reduction while in charge. Weapons will now hit charging players for normal damage.

This happens about 2/10 times for me and just seem like a bug at the moment. The bayonet charge is most likely going to be nerfed anyways so I'd just try not to rely on it too much going forward 😃

Hello @Gund4meister

To me i don't seem that the bayonet charge missed that much. Might just seem to me that it's fairly accurate when doing the charge. Yet it's debatable!

Thanks, Zoie

Well, the Bayonet Charge is kinda buggy sometimes. But not more or less than it was a while back, what i can say so far.

Anyways, they'r thinking about some changes for the Bayonet Charge and the handling of it. So we will probably see soon if it changes something else for it as well.

Yeah this used to happen a lot. My bayonet is always switched off these days, I like to be more stealth with the Combat Knife

Indeed they are changing things with the bayonet charge. It's been rolled out in the CTE (don't quote me). But, the changes are thus;
"Bayonet Charge Changes:
Activated aiming speed modifier during prepare state as well as charge state.
This means a player can rotate a maximum of 50 degrees during the prepare state. Also added an input modifier disabling strafe while charging.
Adding subtle boost to 3P footsteps when bayonet charging to increase threat awareness. Boosted volume of Enemy VO for Bayonet Charge when close to player.
Slightly reduced maximum turn rate while charging.
Removed damage reduction while in charge. Weapons will now hit charging players for normal damage."
