Code Vein 2: Bayonet Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Most weapons in Code Vein 2 commit to one role. Bayonets don't — every single one in this category switches between close-range blade strikes and long-range gunfire within the same moveset, with no weapon swap required.

Strong attacks consume ammunition to fire projectiles: rifles for mid-range shots, shotguns for close-range scatter that scales up the tighter the gap.

The trade-off for this flexibility is a dual scaling requirement that demands investment in more than one stat — but the payoff is one of the lightest weapon types in the game, which makes Bayonets the primary tool for maintaining Quick mobility.

All 13 Bayonet locations are tracked across MapMaster's Code Vein 2 interactive maps.

Melee, Ranged, or Both: How Bayonet Scaling Works

Bayonets split their damage across two separate systems. Melee strikes scale primarily with Dexterity — the higher your Dex, the harder each blade swing lands.

Ranged shots consume Ichor and scale with Willpower and Mind stats instead. The physical attack value shown in the menu only reflects melee damage; it doesn't account for shot output at all.

A Bayonet with a modest physical number can still fire devastating shots if your Willpower is high enough — pairing your Blood Code to your intended damage mode matters more than chasing the highest base stat weapon.

Bayonets carry exceptionally low Burden. This makes them the most reliable weapon class for maintaining the Quick mobility tier — faster dodge distance, longer invincibility frames, and better overall repositioning against fast enemies and Bosses.

Three Access Patterns to Know Before You Search

Most Bayonets are straightforward merchant purchases from Jadwiga's Minion posts across the world. Three are not.

• VIP Pass-gated: Raider's Bayonet, Rubellite Piercer, and Burning Disaster are all sold by Jadwiga at the MagMell Hub — but only after unlocking the corresponding VIP Pass tier. The Raider's Bayonet requires VIP Pass: Iron. The Rubellite Piercer requires VIP Pass: Bronze. The Burning Disaster requires VIP Pass: Gold. They won't appear in the shop regardless of how much Haze you carry until the correct pass is in your inventory.

• Access-gated chest: The Ancient Hunter's Bayonet sits in a chest on MagMell Island — but the chest doesn't open until after returning from the Clifftop Cavern dungeon. Players who spot it early and try to loot it before completing that dungeon will find it locked.

• RNG enemy drop: The Sunset Bayonet is the only Bayonet in the guide without a fixed drop point. It falls from enemy mobs in the library area of Josée's Outpost — the drop isn't guaranteed, so revisiting the outpost after resting at a Mistle and farming the library group is the most reliable approach.
