Weak Spear

The Weak Spear is a tool, melee and ranged weapon in The Forest. Weak Spears can often be found around water spots and it was made craftable in update v0.37.

Gameplay
All spears have three modes for combat:
 * 1) Standard attack - Where you attack in front of you. Aim the spear in front of you, not too high or too low. This uses 10 stamina per attack.
 * 2) Stab ground attack - Where you stab the ground. Aim the spear downwards to enter this mode. This doesn't use any stamina what so ever, so it is great for opening suit cases, finishing off cannibals on the ground, or destroying tree stumps. The spear can get stuck in this mode. To fix it, move the mouse up and down and it should correct itself.
 * 3) Thrown attack - Where you throw the spear. Hold down   to enter this mode, letting go of   will leave this mode. Hold down   and then press   to throw the spear. For an accurate, but short distance throw, aim at your target so that the index finger is right below them. Throwing spears of any kind uses 22 stamina.
 * The spear can be thrown, and can also be used in a thrusting fashion in all directions. It is a useful alternative to the crafted bow or modern bow for fishing from land if you wish to preserve arrows. It cannot be used while swimming, however, so it's limited thrusting range from the shoreline can make spearfishing a bit time-consuming.
 * Because you can thrust the spear at a low angle and run at the same time it is very well suited for hunting lizards, rabbits, and birds, unlike weapons like axes which force the player to stop completely while swinging them towards the ground.
 * Weak spears are one the best items in the game for killing deer. They can kill deer in one hit when thrown.
 * Throwing a weak spear does the same damage regardless of strength. If does not matter if your strength is 10 or 99, it will do the same amount of damage.
 * Throwing a weak spear or an upgraded spear will both do the same amount of damage.
 * The upgraded spear has slightly longer range than the weak spear when used in melee attacks.
 * Weak spears can be found in ponds.
 * You can carry both the upgraded spear and weak spear at once.
