The spear is a melee weapon that does a large amount of damage, has a fairly long cooldown, and deals sharp damage.

Acquisition

Spears can be crafted at any smithy once the Long Blades research has been completed, from 75 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 750 for SMVs) and 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work.

Spears can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant, or obtained from several kinds of melee raiders.

Analysis

Spears have the 2nd highest base damage of all craftable melee weapons, only beaten by the longsword itself. While spear has more AP on its stab attack, its overall damage is worse against any practical target. It costs 25 less material to create, which could matter when using valuable metals like plasteel (for instance, 150 plasteel could make 2 spears, but only 1 sword).

As is typical with any sharp weapon, spear attacks cause bleeding, but most armor have a higher Sharp% than Blunt%. The mace requires less research and resources to create, and can outperform the spear against flak vest-level equipment. Higher ranking tribals often use spears for melee fighters.
