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 can use both Drill Spikes and Explosive Spikes, which makes it incredibly versatile. It can be used to tear off components while dealing additional damage over time, and it can also deal tons of explosive damage in a single hit.

So I sold this weapon before learning more and realizing how valuable the knockdown power perk is on it. Is there anyway to get it back? Like a vendor that sells it somewhere after it's been acquired and sold? Thanks in advance for any info. Trying to save up a bunch of resources before starting NG+ and it'd be handy to have this thing to help in that grind.
