Notes

  • Throwing Spears, Knives and Hatchets are more effective when poisoned.
  • Throwing Hatchets, Spears and Knives cannot be picked up and re-used once thrown.
  • Throwing Spears are capable of decapitating an enemy.
  • Throwing Spears can be used to repair Pool Cues, which in turn can be used with the Jury Rigging perk to cheaply repair many other melee weapons.
  • Throwing Spears can take off limbs and pin them to walls in a similar fashion to the Railway Rifle from Fallout 3.
  • This weapon can be used for the Gun Runners' Arsenal challenges Armed For Bear and Even a God-King Can Bleed.
  • The Throwing Spear has very high item health relative to most other thrown melee weapons, and as such would degrade very slowly, even though you can only attack once with it and it becomes irretrievable once thrown.
  • When holstered, the Throwing Spears are placed at the hip, like grenades. In reality, this would be dangerous, as it could cut and/or stab the user's arm or head.

Bugs

  • Xbox 360Xbox 360 Occasionally, a Poisoned Throwing Spear is lootable off of a White Legs corpse. This spear cannot be stored and once dropped, cannot be picked back up.
