Spears

The Basic Spear, Spear, Great Spear and Dark Spear slow surviving enemies on hit. Higher tiers increase damage without changing the slow, forward reach or attack speed.

Mechanics

Hits on enemy players, zombies and the Reaper apply Slowed for 2.5 seconds. Repeated hits stack, and each slow expires separately. Shield blocks, reflections and Spawn protection do not prevent the slow.

All spear tiers attack 1.5 times per second. Holding a spear leaves you at 75 % of normal speed, so upgrading does not improve your movement speed.

Choosing a tier

Spend weapon upgrade points at levels 2, 7, 9 to follow the weapon tree through Basic Spear, Spear and Great Spear. Each choice replaces the previous weapon. Choosing Basic Spear commits your weapon upgrades to the spear branch until respawn.

Killing the Reaper while you have Great Spear replaces it with Dark Spear. See Dark Spear for its reward details.
