The Spikethrower is a powerful weapon that delivers massive amounts of damage, especially when using Explosive ammo. They are best used against larger targets due to their high ammo cost. To penetrate armor, they must be thrown at full draw.
This weapon inflicts Plasma damage on enemies, which causes the Plasma Blast state. The Plasma Blast state causes a time-delayed explosion on the target. Plasma elemental damage is also more effective against some enemies.
This weapon uses Advanced Explosive Spikes, which explodes a few seconds after impact and deals tons of damage. However, since it inflicts explosive damage, it also destroys machine components and makes them unlootable in higher difficulties.
