Bayonet in a Gourd

The is a Very Rare Melee Weapon found in the game.
== Usage ==
The user will shake the gourd and two flying knives will be released and search enemies to attack similarly to drones. There are two knives: the green one that swings in an arc and deals 8 damage, and the white one that thrusts forward and deals 10 damage. These knives will stay near the gourd if there are no targets, until expired, where they will return to the gourd. If the gourd is left on the ground, the knives will stay by the gourd and will not target any enemies.
Switching weapons before the animation finishes will prevent the blades from being spawned, and the gourd will remain available without consuming energy.
Once activated, the gourd becomes transparent and unusable. It will take some time to recharge.
The knives can last for 15 seconds, and the gourd needs 20 seconds to recharge. The attack rate of the swords and the gourd's recharge are not subject to challenge conditions. Grindstones do not affect the damage values. Trigger type attachments will only be activated when the swords attack.
== Tips ==
=== Strategies ===
Make sure that the main weapon is versatile, as this takes up a weapon slot without doing much active combat, similar to Floating Gun and Floating Laser. The player could hide behind indestructible cover and let the swords do the work in a pinch, but otherwise this should not be used in active combat unless with the Extra Weapon Buff. It also costs energy, and must be re-deployed from time to time.
=== Recommended Buffs ===
* Extra Weapon Buff - Adds one extra green knife each use. Also helps in saving a weapon slot as it does not help in active combat.
* Cooldown Buff - Reduces the interval of reusing by 3 seconds.
** Note that the condition has no effect on this weapon.
* Reflect Buff - The melee attacks of the flying swords can return enemy projectiles.
=== Recommended Conditions ===
* - The blades are not affected by fire rate changes, and thus this allows the weapon to gain DPS.

== Trivia ==
* This weapon was added in Update 2.3.0.
* The knives can enter the room and attack enemies before the player goes in, despite these attacks having no effect on enemies. This feature is shared with the Floating Gun, Floating Laser and Satellite Floating Gun.
* This weapon is not a melee weapon, as the player can use the basic melee attack with it.
* According to Chillyroom, the Taoist was formerly a spirit that resides inside the gourd before he became humanoid.
* There was a glitch that allowed the player to summon high quantities of sword with the weapon. The Chinese players gave it a nickname "万剑归宗" (lit. Penetrate with 10,000 swords) as a result.
* This weapon is a reference to a magical item from "Investiture of the Gods", which is a ming dynasty mythological novel. The item is a red gourd that spits out a homing projectile when an incantation is said("magical item please turn out"). The item's name translated to english would be "immortal killing flying blade".
