Marnite Bayonet

The Marnite Bayonet is a craftable Pre-Hardmode gun that can be considered an earlier alternative to the Musket or The Undertaker. Upon use, it auto-fires bullets at an average rate. The gun itself also deals contact damage to enemies, a unique property for a ranged weapon that it shares with the Flak Kraken, Helstorm and Hellborn.

Though it requires the player to find Granite and Marble caves, its relatively low cost and decent rate of fire make the Marnite Bayonet an excellent gun for newer players. However, its low DPS renders it obsolete very early in the game.

Trivia

 * Marnite is a portmanteau of the words marble and granite, which is what the weapon is made of.
 * This weapon was previously named the Marnite Rifle Spear. This was changed to avoid confusion with the Marnite Spear.
