A thrown melee weapon consisting of a six-foot-long wooden handle with a cloth grip and a sharp piece of jagged metal serving as the spearhead. When sheathed, the player character places it at the hip instead of on the back, and when unsheathed and thrown, uses an overhand throwing technique. It deals the second-highest amount of damage per strike of all thrown melee weapons (below the protonic inversal throwing axe), albeit at the second-slowest attack speed (above the throwing knife spear). It deals the highest critical hit damage of all thrown melee weapons, albeit at the second-highest AP cost (below the throwing knife spear), but does weigh the least along with the throwing knife and tomahawk.
The throwing spear has very high item health relative to most other thrown melee weapons, and as such would degrade very slowly, even though you can only attack once per instance, and it becomes irretrievable once thrown.
Bugs[]
PCXbox 360 Occasionally the spears will not stack in your inventory correctly, making it appear as though you have a small number even if you know you have more. The number will appear correctly when equipped, but when you more than your last visible one as it appears in your inventory, it will appear in your inventory as only one until the one is dropped.

Xbox 360 The spears may also not stack in your weapons trunk or other container correctly either, showing the number of spears as one, and then changing to the actual number of spears owned when the player takes one out of the container it was stored in, very much like the glitch that can occur in the player's personal inventory.
