Are there plans of nerfing the spear?

[Z3pheeR]

It kinda breaks the game on both pve and pvp, and I'm not hearing anyone else talking about how disgusting that thing is.

[MindTrix]

they made it 150 hunt dollars which is higher than a lot of guns so I doubt it will be nerfed

[rediDieKante]

Most players, including myself, can still afford to run the spear every round, because 150 hunt dollars is not that much actually. A high price alone is not (and will never be) the right solution for a broken weapon.

i think the spear is balanced. like in real life if you hit someone with a throwing spear to the leg nail he will die instantly.

its overprised as well so its fine

the only problem is there is no *mouth sound* when you want to throw it so its kinda easy to abuse to kill players

I find it funny that they chose the most cumbersome weapon for a tool slot.

it's underpriced, if anything. The amount of utility that a single spear brings to the table with 0 downsides is insane. You delete bosses and players alike with that thing, there really is no other tool like it in Hunt nowdays. Every 6 star in the game uses it, no exceptions, it's so stupid.

This +1
I've not seen a 6 star without spear for a while, even most 4 and 5 stars are running them all the time. The spear needs to be reworked to a small or medium weapon to be balanced.

even while playing double stamina with a spear i never lose money currently. money is not a way to balance a weapon in this game especially since a lot of people have a ton of money anyway (no im not telling to introduce wipes to the game, more money = people have less gear fear and play aggressive which is more fun).

I hope it doesn't get nerfed.

the spear is literally the best melee in the game because its a tool and not a weapon.

-spear melts every boss especially after all the other tools got nerfed
-you can throw 4 spears at a meathead to kill him
-spear can be thrown while full sprint with perfect accuracy and no stamina
-spear can out of stamina one shot a zombie (not that it matters since most people run stamina shot anyway)
-spear takes a tool slot not a weapon slot
-the stabbing speed is insanely fast so if you miss your first hit in a melee fight you can quickly do a second stab
-unlike the katana it doesnt need a trait to be good

now tell me again how the spear is not OP right now.

just make the spear a weapon not a tool and its fixed. literally the best way to balance it.

Reduce damage slightly, and cut the velocity in half

Literally outclasses every melee tool, the other throwable tools and all melee options besides maybe bomb lance but come on that's meme ♥♥♥♥. also why the ♥♥♥♥ can you throw a spear higher velo than a bow or crossbow and more likely to oneshot than the bow even to arm

Price never means anything except to bad players, money is always plentiful even more so during events, I mean they all the times they change prices but yet always mosin, dolch, nitro and avto all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time lmao

Price means a lot. If you do not play constantly with top gear and do not eager for hunter kills - you have no problem with money. If you are meta zealot, you will have constant problems with money.

Not really? As long as you aren't throwing your loadout away every game it's pretty easy, I'm sat on like 160k+ and there's obviously people who have way more than me. Price means basically nothing in this game besides gatekeeping noobs from buying stuff, actual players aren't phased.
