The Crystal Tooth Bayonet or otherwise called the CLAW Bayonet is the secondary close combat weapon of the Claw Light Machine Gun. The Swarm have designed the Bayonet in the same principle as the Breaker Mace, which is the utilization of the Locust Shells as a weapon in itself.[1] It is permanently fixed into the machine gun, and often consists of nothing more than a crude bundle of Locust Shell crystals embedded on a guard frame between several panels of welded scrap metal.
Strategy[]
The Claw Tooth Bayonet is a powerful and useful defensive weapon that could actually defend the player from the revving up of a Chainsaw Bayonet. So tough are the crystals from a Locust Shell, that it could easily fend off the cutting power of the daimond-tipped, osmium-plated teeth of the Mark 2 Lancer Assault Rifle's and Mark 3 Lancer Assault Rifle's bayonets.
If the player beats a chainsaw duel with the SAW, there would be a special execution where the player would lodge the Crystal Tooth Bayonet on the opponent's face, instantly crushing the head, before brute forcing their way through the opponent's torso via sheer cutting power.
It could also be used offensively, with direct hits causing serious damage, if not outright downing the player on higher difficulties. The CLAW's execution utilizes its Crystal Tooth Bayonet the same way as the Retro Lancer or the Mark 3 Lancer; by lodging the crystal teeth on the back of the target, before forcefully ripping apart his/her's arms and torso.
