New Melee Weapon: Javelin

[M_M_M]

The Javelin is a long metal rod with a sharp tip at the end for throwing decent distances. While you can use it to aggressively poke people, its true potential shines when thrown.

Javelin Stats

• 10 DMG
• 40 thrown DMG
• 12-14 thrown range (further than the knife)
• Durability lasts 8 hits
• Rarity around the same level as fireaxe/katana

The javelin serves as a weapon that actually properly utilizes the throwing mechanic past throwing guns at each other and serves as a decent fit-in when the devs realize how crazy overpowered the 40-damage knife throwing is.

Ah yes, the bastard child of the katana, the knife, and the makeshift weapon. Delightful.

Katana deals 15 damage per swing and you're aware the knife deals 40 thrown damage. We don't need this power weapon that bad.

I lowered it to 10 and besides, it has 5 less actual hits in it than the katana with the advantage of a pool cue's range.

I just need something that lets me get my tribal on seeing how pool cues are sad to throw.

Got the idea from Terraria I assume?

The Javelin is a weapon that goes very far back in history, used by many different civilizations and peoples. Most notably (imo) were the Romans. Just because a game uses a certain weapon doesn't mean that someone else gets ideas from games.

We have a Tommy Gun in SFD, did they get that from CoD World at War? Did they get it from Mafia 2?

I'm sure you've thrown a cue stick in this update. I have, and it took me back a millennium or so. It's natural to think of a javelin when weapon throwing is introduced.

That said, I can't help but be leery about a weapon that takes off a big ol' 40 damage, especially with the way throwing is now. I think enough weapons are powerful when thrown. It looks like a fun concept, though. Just not sure about the damage values. It's worth testing, I think.
