Speargun Spear

The only ammo for the speargun, the weapon you carry when a fight might happen underwater. It only fires below the surface, so on land it is useless.

Overview

In-game description
Ammunition for a speargun.

These are what you shoot when the fight is underwater and your normal guns stop being an option. A speargun loaded with spears handles the other diver going after the same sunken crate, and the shark that keeps circling you.

The typical moment: you are at an underwater loot spot with a diving tank, half your air gone, and another diver drops in. Whoever has spears ready wins that one. So keep a few in the hotbar the whole dive, not buried somewhere in your inventory.

On land the speargun won't fire at all, so it is dead weight in a fight on the beach. Swap to a real gun as soon as you surface.

The spears come from metal fragments, so they are cheap. The real cost is the trip: you need air for the swim back, and a wetsuit helps in cold water.
