But there’s one suggestion in particular that has really caught the community’s eye—a blast from the past that could add a whole new dimension to the Helldivers’ arsenal.

A Bayonet to the Heart (or Circuits) of the ******

The idea, as proposed by a clever Redditor, is simple yet brilliant: add a bayonet attachment for primary weapons in Helldivers 2.

But perhaps the most compelling argument for the addition of bayonets comes from the game itself. As one player pointed out, the loading screen tips have been hinting at this very strategy all along:
