If a cut happens to reduce a body part to 0 HP, it is more likely to be destroyed. Generally, pain shock is much more likely than body part destruction. The cleave will cause pain shock faster, due to increased damage. The spear can only stab: its damage is weaker, but always concentrated on one body part. This increases damage per swing by 140%, but its damage is split between body parts. Cut damage has a chance to 'cleave' through body parts. Longswords can either Cut or Stab, while spears can only Stab.

The spear is a sharp weapon with a very similar damage output to the longsword, despite the in-game tooltips stating otherwise. They yield exactly one quarter (25%) of the stuff required to craft the weapon, regardless of item quality or HP. Metallic spears can be smelted for scrap at an electric smelter. Spears can be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant, or obtained from several kinds of melee raiders. Spears can be crafted at any smithy once the Long Blades research has been completed, from 75 Stuff ( Metallic/ Woody) and 12,000 ticks ( 3.33 mins) of work.
