New Warzone meme weapon is surprisingly deadly
ActivisionWarzone and MW3 Season 5 Reloaded introduced two new weapons, one of which is the Spear. You may not have thought it, but this new melee weapon is actually deadly in Warzone, as it can drop enemies extremely quickly.
Unlike other melee weapons, which are mainly close-range, the Spear can be thrown, giving it an added edge. In fact, it can two-shot enemies with full shield and one-shot them on any part of the body if they don’t have any plates.
This is at all ranges too, as although you can only throw them up to a certain distance, so long as you hit your target the Spear will do the same amount of damage no matter how far it travels.
So, while it might be a bit of a meme weapon, with players like ‘RoloPoloTV’ hiding in bushes waiting for their prey to show up before they pierce them, it’s surprisingly lethal.
It’s certainly not meta, as popular CoD content creator Metaphor called it “fun but not viable.” This is mainly because you have to be so accurate when using it, and you only get a total of three shots before you have to restock or pick the thrown Spears back up.
That said, it does make for some incredible plays, as Metaphor shared a clip of him jumping off a building and hitting a 360 shot with the Spear before the fall damage downed him.
If you’re looking to use the Spear, it’s best to get enemy Operators’ health low first before engaging to ensure you can get a one-shot kill with the new melee weapon.
We recommend pairing the melee weapon with strong Primary options in your loadout such as the SOA Subverter or the TAQ Eradicator, which are both climbing the meta following nerfs to the STG44.
