Bayonet kills in BF1 - Melee or not?

HI, not quite sure where to post this one but since it has to do with what counts as what in a game I thought maybe here?  I'm playing BF1 and I'm on Fog of War.  Just curious if the bayonet kill official counts as a melee kill in the game?

Thanks in advance 🙂

    So just to be clear it doesn't count as melee and so it is possible to get both codexes in a single run?

    Oh i thought you tested it, cause of your previous post.

    Anyways, i think it's not possible.
    Cause i think the Bayonet will count as a melee Weapon. So, as you see on the Codex descriptions below....

    •Forest Combat Codex: Get through the forest without any melee kills!

    NO melee kills allowed, and if the Bayonet count as melee so it's not possible to do in one run together with the other Codex. Cause you need to fight the enemies offensive.

    •Guiding Bess Codex: Get through the forest undetected!

    If the enemies shouldn't see you, so you running best with melee kills! But if the Bayonet wouldn't count as melee, you could use that to kill them too. I personally think if it would be able to use the Bayonet, you can not finish it that easy. Cause the Soldier is screaming while the Charge, and the enemies will hear you running.


    My opinion:
    Do it in two runs! (Easy Mode) 😉
    Any you can try a Bayonet Charge on the mission beginning, and see in your mission menue if it shows that you can't finish that one Codex in this run anymore cause it was a melee kill....or not.
    Then you know it!

    Well I just tested it as you said and neither come up with a failure notice in the pause menu.  I was hoping someone from EA or Dice might be able to help tbh that's why I put it under technical - I wantd to know if the attack is coded having a melee tag on it.  NVM I'll just have to do the whole mission and see lol  

    Thanks for your help anyway

    I don't think it is possible to get both of the codex on a single run through...It can be quite glitchy too!

    Good luck!

  • It's been a while since I completed those Codex but the only way this would be possible is if there were any silenced weapons you could utilise from the weapons tents and/crates.  The bayonet charge is counted as a melee kill in the online gameplay so I see no reason to why they would have coded it differently in the single player mission.

    If all else fails, run it twice 😉
