What are the differences?
Energy Bayonet says it increases “melee damage and range”, and Knight Blade says it “increases melee effectiveness, and knockback against vehicles”.
What exactly does “melee effectiveness” encompass?
Bayonet is for Spartans ( one hit kill, if they do not have upgraded shields) night blade is for vehicles ( one hit kill on ghosts/ smaller or weakened vehicle)

Nah, it’s definitely not that powerful against vehicles. And it talks about melee effectiveness in a separate clause, meaning it has some benefit against Spartans. But what benefit? Increased range and damage but less than the energy bayonet?
Someone turn it into the Halo Mythbusters
I would recommend bayonet. If you’re close enough to use Knights blade, you’re close enough to board.
Energy bayonet: increased Melee lunge + damage
Knight blade: increased vehicle knock back + damage
Bayonets are 1 hit kills on a normal spartan
Knight Blades damage vehicles, A LOT. I got on top of an enemy scorpion, and I think it was only about 5 melee’s with the night blade on my dmr
But I would go for bayonets. They are more useful. If you can use a Knight Blade, you might as well just high jack and plant a nade. Unless on a lighter vehicle.
The only vehicles you can’t hijack are AI bosses, so that seems like the only actual use for the knight blade.

what really??? a 1 hit kill on ghost. no way!!
Bayonet vs Spartan one hit kill
knight blade with a Spartan one hit and a smg shot. The knight blade brings you down to 1% health
Bayonet you use to kill spartans.
Knight blade you don’t use but instead board vehicles, because that makes more sense.
Used the Knight blade against the wraith commanders in Noctus, did alot of damage
I normally get splattered when being that close so bayonet.
I use the bayonet most often because I’ve found its best for Spartans.
Anyone know what kind of damage a knight blade does to the bosses like knights and the warden? Promethian weapons do more damage to them anyway, so was curious if it did more than like a sword or something

Is that confirmed? I don’t think that’s true.
Also, Knights blade is worthless compared to bayonet. Linked video for my source.

Searching for my source now. It was in a game walk through/tip article online here. I remember it talking about supressers were undervalued because they can kick out some major damage in warzone against the bosses/Promethean in your base. Could be outdated or I could just be mistaken but i’ll try to find my source.
Just like plasma works best against the covenant for the most part and bullets against the humans.
I’ll stick to my bayonet. If you’re that close to a vehicle, you’re either gonna get splattered or you might as well board it instead of wasting time trying to kill it with a blade.
I assumed the knight blade was a fusion between the bayonet and kinetic bolts. Like it has increased melee damage against Spartans/vehicles and increased bullet damage/knock back against vehicles as well. I could be wrong though.
Knights blade has a longer range I’ve had moments where it looks like it has more range than a sword and my spartan seems to leap to the enemy
