Makeshift Spear

Makeshift Spear is an improvised melee weapon assembled from office and kitchen supplies. It appears as a craftable item in the game and functions as a basic spear-type armament that can be used for both close-quarters stabbing and as a thrown projectile. The recipe for Makeshift Spear is learned automatically the first time the player interacts with or packages a Standing Lamp; once that interaction occurs the recipe becomes available for future crafting.

The item is explicitly described in multiple localizations as a spear constructed from commonly available office and kitchen materials, emphasizing its improvised, scavenged nature. Visual media for the item documents two primary attack animations or uses: a normal stab for melee engagements and a throwing action for ranged attacks. These two usage modes define the spear’s role as a flexible, low-tech weapon suitable for players who rely on scavenged resources rather than factory-made arms.

Practical notes and usage guidance:

• Acquisition: obtain the recipe by interacting with or packaging a Standing Lamp; no separate research or vendor purchase is required for initial unlocking.
• Construction: the spear represents a crafted solution using household and office parts; expect it to occupy an early-game or improvised-weapons niche rather than replacing specialized military or crafted polearms.
• Combat roles: use the normal stab mode for sustained melee encounters where reach and simple piercing attacks are advantageous. Use the throwing mode to engage targets at a distance or to conserve safer spacing; the visual documentation indicates both attack types are supported by the same item.
• Versatility: because the Makeshift Spear is built from ubiquitous materials, it functions as a dependable fallback weapon when better equipment is unavailable. Its dual melee/ranged capability gives it situational flexibility during scavenging or exploration.
• Integration: unlocking the recipe via the Standing Lamp ties the spear’s availability to routine interactions with common world objects, so players who explore and package environmental objects will gain access naturally.

The Makeshift Spear is therefore best regarded as an accessible, improvised pole weapon that bridges early-game melee needs and occasional ranged utility, unlocked through a single interaction with a specific environmental object.
