How to use Spear in MW3 and Warzone

Using the spear in multiplayer and battle royale matches is extremely straightforward. At each spawn, players will have the opportunity to use three spears and can choose to utilize 'rapid piercing strikes' or throw them at the intended target. To account for distance, a reticle will appear allowing players to guide the Spear towards its final destination with ease.

If players have one or more Spears in their inventory at any one time, they can retrieve any thrown ones from the ground. For another element of strategy, the Spear can be used to pin opponents against walls.
