Spear Gun



The Spear Gun is the seventh weapon in BioShock 2, replacing the Crossbow in function. Compensating for Subject Delta's inability to use a traditional scope, a set of refractive glass 'plates' gives the Spear Gun the ability to zoom in over large distances. It can also fire a variety of spears which can impale enemies as well as nail them to the scenery. It is first found in Siren Alley.

Basic Upgrades
Additional scope provides increased zoom, allowing you to aim with pinpoint accuracy.
 * Zoom Increase


 * This upgrade increases the Spear Gun’s scope ability, granting the player improved accuracy over long distances.

A rotary mechanism adds spin to the spear, resulting in greater penetration and damage.
 * Damage Increase
 * This upgrade increases the Spear Gun's damage output.

Final Upgrade
A reinforced firing spring and retooled barrel allow for much faster spear travel and decreased refire time. Spears will reach their targets much faster and pin enemies of longer distances.
 * Faster Mechanics
 * This upgrade increases Spear velocity and decreases the Spear Gun's reload time.

Ammunition Types - Spear Gun

 * Spear - Standard ammunition for the Spear Gun. Deal a high amount of piercing damage. These can be recovered after use, in a way similar to the Crossbow's Bolt.


 * Rocket Spear - Uncommon ammunition for the Spear Gun. Ignites all nearby enemies, deal a high amount of piercing damage and explode after a set amount of time. Splicers hit by this Spear type will run towards other Splicers, blowing them up, while Splicers killed when this Spear hits them will stay attached to it while it propels itself forward. These Spears cannot be reused.
 * Trap Spear - Rare ammunition for the Spear Gun. These are identical to the Trap Bolts of the original Bioshock. Deal a small amount of piercing damage upon a direct hit and a high amount of electrical damage once deployed. If the spear kills and pins an opponent on impact, the electrified trip-wire will still deploy as normal.

Trivia

 * Spears already existed in the original BioShock. The most infamous example is Andrew Ryan's Trophy Room, where several would-be traitors can be found incinerated and nailed to the walls with the aforementioned spears.
 * The Spear Gun's final concept is seen as a sort of heavy-crossbow that attaches to Subject Delta's right arm, this will be the concept seen in game.
