Let’s face it, the Helldivers 2 devs have not been doing the game justice when it comes to certain weapons. One weapon in particular is the Spear. This rocket launcher, while powerful, is not the most reliable. It doesn’t always one-shot enemies that it should and sometimes the lock-on doesn’t even work. While there are still many who believe in this beautiful killing machine, it doesn’t have the reliability that many would prefer it to have. With new players joining the fray, there are more who are realizing the unreliability of the Spear and they are asking for a change.
Reddit user Zealousideal_Rip8756 posted their thoughts about the Spear saying, “If Spear has only 4 rockets then it should one-shot hulks and tanks.” This post alone has reminded players of how wishy-washy the weapon is with one saying, “It needs to be able to shoot first before it can one-shot anything.”
Many have had issues firing the Spear thanks to its finicky lock-on. Some have found success by spamming the aim button to get it to lock-on more quickly. Others, however, have had no such luck. Another player commented, “If they fix the lock-on, it will be unique, but its unreliability means that many players won’t touch it after their first time using it.”
Despite its many issues, the Spear is good at destroying fabricators. Unfortunately, there are many who want this weapon changed so that it has the ability to one-shot other targets such as the Hulks and Tanks. One more user commented, “I, an avid spear main, approve this message.” More users agreed with the message as well but mainly agreed that the weapon just needs a rework in general. We agree that it needs a bit of a rework. Unfortunately, we probably won’t see it get one for a long period of time.
