How to use a bayonet?

[waveform]

The blade's attached to the rifle. There's an enemy next to the merc.
I noticed that when I hover the mouse cursor on the underbarrel launcher icon,
it's greyed out and the tooltip reads "Bayonet (unavailable)".

How do I use the bayonet?

To use the bayonet, move the cursor over the intented victim, right-click until you get the "strike" icon, then left-click to attack.

Ah, got it. Thanks. Am I right to assume that the gun NEEDS to be empty before one can opt to use the bayonet? Otherwise I just get the "shoot at body" tooltip. It would be nice to be able to save a bullet or two whenever possible...

Nah, you should get the option to "strike" even if you have ammo in the gun. There is a problem with the rifles with a built-in bayonet, they doesn't seem to wotk as they should. I'll look into it and see if I can find a way to fix that, but that depends on which file controls the check for that attack method. I'll let you know what I find.
