I'll never forget the thrill when Season 15 dropped in Sea of Thieves last month, bringing with it the legendary Hunting Spear. As a pirate who's faced countless Krakens and outrun the dreaded Redmaw Megalodon, I knew this weapon would change everything. The moment I heard rumors about this fearsome throwable - capable of piercing both beasts and rival crews - I set sail immediately. There's nothing quite like the weight of a perfectly balanced spear in your hands, ready to hunt everything from scurvy skeletons to monstrous denizens of the deep. Little did I know how this versatile weapon would transform my voyages across the Shroud.

Acquiring My First Hunting Spear

My quest began at Galleon's Grave Outpost, where the Hunter's Call representative eyed my gold pouch knowingly. For 250 gleaming coins, I purchased my first spear - a beautifully crafted instrument of destruction with wicked barbs along its shaft. I learned quickly that you can't simply summon these from your ship's armory; they must be physically obtained each time. The limitation of carrying only one spear at a time forced me to strategize: do I load it in cannons immediately or keep it handy for shark encounters? Across multiple outposts, I discovered these options:

  • Purchase from Hunter's Call at any Seapost (5 maximum per location)

  • Discover washed ashore on island beaches 🌴

  • Loot from shipwrecks beneath the waves

  • Rewards from defeating Skeleton Ships or Krakens

During a storm near Devil's Roar, I even found three spears inside a sunken galleon's cargo hold - proof that fortune favors bold pirates who explore off-map!

Mastering Combat Applications

Nothing prepared me for the sheer satisfaction of stopping a charging Megalodon mid-lunge. When Old Barnacle emerged near my sloop, I held LT to aim, charged RT until the spear hummed with energy, and released. That magnificent beast froze instantly, my spear protruding from its snout like a gruesome trophy!

The Hunting Spear's combat versatility still amazes me:

Range Effectiveness Best Targets
Close Instant kill Sharks, Skeletons
Medium Stun effect Megalodons, Ocean Crawlers
Long Piercing damage Player crews, Skeleton Ships

During a heated battle at Fort of the Damned, I learned a brutal lesson: enemies can retrieve YOUR thrown spears! After missing a rival pirate, he yanked my weapon from the mast and impaled my first mate. We still laugh about that blunder over grog.

Cannon Synergy Tactics

Everything changed when we loaded spears into cannons during a Reaper's Bones ambush. The physics are glorious - instead of cannonballs making standard holes, spears lodge DEEP into enemy hulls. Watching rival pirates scramble to remove them before repairing provided the perfect distraction for our boarding party!

Key cannon advantages:

  1. Creates larger leaks when removed

  2. Forces multi-step repairs (pull spear → patch hole)

  3. One-shot kills land targets from ship distance

People Also Ask

Throughout my travels, fellow pirates often ask:

❓ "Can spears damage ghost ships?"

Absolutely! They're devastating against Flameheart's armada during world events.

❓ "Do spears work against the new Season 15 Siren Lords?"

They cause staggering damage but won't interrupt spellcasting - bring backup weapons!

❓ "What's the maximum spear throw distance?"

At full charge, I've hit targets 25 paces away - perfect for sniping powder kegs on enemy decks!

Unforgettable Spear Moments

That moonlit night battling the Kraken remains etched in my memory. Tentacles thrashed our brigantine as we fired spear after spear from cannons. Each hit made the beast recoil, buying precious seconds to bail water. When the final spear pierced its beak, the victory roar from our crew echoed across the waves!

Through stormy seas and treasure hunts gone awry, the Hunting Spear has become my trusty companion. Its satisfying thunk when hitting targets never gets old. But I wonder - what legendary creature haven't we hunted yet? What undiscovered tactics might revolutionize naval warfare? The seas whisper secrets to those who listen... what will YOUR first spear throw reveal?
