the spear needs a huge nerf

[SNAKE †]

I know this will make a lot of the meta sweats cry but it's so overtuned it's absolutely crazy, it takes up only a tool slot and outshines melee weapons that take up a whole weapon slot AND can be used to one shot at range also, it makes the dusters, knife, heavy knife, katana, hammer and every other melee tool or weapon completely pointless to take.

I love having the spear but knowing I'll never give a single fk about any of the other tools or weapons I used to take instead of it makes me realise how much of a problem it is

nah, maybe just remove arm kills. and drop price to 60-80

Yes make it cheaper than the weapons it outshines, genius

The whole meele system of Hunt needs a rework. The meele variants of guns are too weak for the much higher price. Some meele weapons have no use at all.

Like how can a bayonet be less effective than a spear?

i find it nice especially after the update that lessens the ammount of stamina consumed in the variants of the guns with melee.

the damage is fine

The spear should be a two-slot weapon.
I would even go so far and say that all melee-tools need a slight nerf (for example PvE-monsters won´t flinch from attacks anymore), Why even bring a (sledge)hammer, cavalry saber or the axe with you, when the knuckle knife can do everything for you?

First, you're crying, not the sweats.

Second, I agree with that other guy. Remove the arm and leg kills would be a great start but I think they should also remove the stomach as an instant kill. I don't believe any other weapon is a 1 shot to the stomach (maybe the nitro) but someone will correct me.

Third, nerfs make the game harder for trash cans. That's how it works. If you can't kill someone with the OP weapon now you won't be able to when it's nerfed either.

I've never been killed by the spear - ever so I don't exactly see how I'm crying about it, I recognise that it's overtuned and makes every other melee weapon and tool completely arbitrary which is my main point.

Your third point goes against you in your second.

Yep, spear is overpowered

I agree 100% with you on this. I would much prefer a rebalance where the PvE is actually a legitimate threat. As it stands now in 99% of scenarios the PvE is merely a nuisance. Press 3, hold click, move on. Even the bosses are stupid easy.

Problem with that though is if the bosses are too much of a pain to kill people wouldn't even bother to kill it and just camp outside and wait for someone else to (which already happens with assassin bounty) and it's not just down to the spear it's the fact that a sticky can take 75% of it's health off easily but yeah spear makes all non-boss mobs a joke.

I suppose your point makes sense around the bosses. Still I wish the zombies were way more dangerous than they are.

As far as the spear goes it’s quite obviously overtuned but it makes for good streamer bait. Streamers use it as an iwin button when they’re in a bad roshambo situation.
