Overview
The Electromecha Spear is a unique spear in Crimson Desert that has a lightning affinity with a charge-based system. Each charge adds an extra burst of lightning damage to the player's attacks, making it an excellent option for players who want to front-load elemental damage in short bursts. The spear also has a distinctive mechanical aesthetic that stands out visually among other weapons.
Lightning Affinity
The Electromecha Spear comes with 5 charges of lightning affinity. Each charge provides an extra pop of lightning damage on any attack performed with the weapon. The charges are consumed one per hit, so five successive attacks will each deal bonus lightning damage on top of the spear's base physical damage.
Once all 5 charges are depleted, the lightning effect goes inactive and the charges will take time to regenerate before they become usable again. This makes the Electromecha Spear particularly effective as a burst damage tool: equip it, unload all 5 lightning-enhanced strikes, then swap to another weapon while the charges recharge.
Stats and Limitations
Abyss gear slots: The Electromecha Spear does not have abyss gear slots. As with many unique weapons, the special lightning affinity comes at the cost of customizability through the abyss gear system.
Playstyle: Best used as a secondary weapon for burst lightning damage rather than a primary weapon for sustained combat, since the charges are limited and take time to regenerate.
Despite the lack of abyss gear slots, the lightning affinity effect and the visual design make it a worthwhile pickup for players who enjoy elemental builds or want a reliable source of lightning damage without spending spirit on imbument abilities.
How to Obtain
The Electromecha Spear can be found at a dedicated location in Gorthak, accessible from a small loop road on the map.
Location Details
Travel to Gorthak and look for the loop road on the map.
Beside the loop, find the mech hanger structure.
Near the mech hanger, locate a section of wooden scaffolding.
Break open the middle section of the wooden scaffolding to reveal a hidden chest.
Open the chest to collect the Electromecha Spear.
The spear can also be obtained as a random drop from disarming mechanical enemies in the surrounding area, though the dedicated chest location provides a guaranteed pickup.
Electromecha Sword Variant
A sword version of the electromecha weapon also exists in the game. The Electromecha Sword is a well-known boss drop, and it can alternatively be obtained by disarming areas around the boss arena. Both the sword and spear variants share the same lightning affinity mechanic, though their weapon types and movesets differ.
Combat Tips
Swap to the Electromecha Spear when you want to burst down a target with lightning damage, then switch back to your main weapon while the charges recharge.
The 5 charges work well with fast attack combos. Try to land all 5 hits as quickly as possible to maximize the burst window.
Against enemies weak to lightning or in wet environments where lightning damage may be amplified, the Electromecha Spear becomes even more valuable as a quick-swap option.
The spear pairs well with other elemental weapons in a rotation: open with lightning burst from this spear, swap to a Bismouth Spear for the slow and damage-over-time, then finish with your primary melee weapon.
