Throwing a spear increases the amount of damage dealt.

Usage

Main article: Combat

The spear can be used to attack enemies in melee combat. It has a longer range than other melee weapons.

Spears can be thrown for ranged combat. Usage can be broken down into three steps:

• Charging the spear: Hold the right mouse button to ready the spear. Corners of a white square will appear while the button is held, indicating precision. They will quickly shrink to a small area on the screen, and then slowly move in and out. The smaller the square, the more accurate the shot. Moving will reduce accuracy based on the speed of movement.
• Aiming the spear: Aim the white crosshairs at the selected target and account for falloff due to gravity.
• Firing the spear: Release the mouse button to fire (loose) the arrow.

Storage

Spears may be placed in tool racks or placed on the ground . Spears do not stack in inventories.
