>Everyone expected it to be absolutely useless.
I expected it to be useless because I thought it would have a backpack to carry the fuckhuge spears. But I guess the spears aren't bacon enough to need a backpack. Is it apples?

That said, since it doesn't have a backpack. It has the potential for some niche usecases. I just hate how Alexus has been handling the durability stats in this game in general. I think the speargun will probably do ok vs predator strains. Usually predator bugs are more comfortably taken down with assorted staggering shotguns than eruptor/xbow, so the speargun should provide something that can help supplement your hole closing potential and also kill the occasional charger. It's pretty shit against BTs, so you might still need EATs or 500kg to knock out the occasional BT.
