SEASON 3 NEW WEAPONS GUIDE
Grappler & Spear Guide: Mastering the New Season 3 Weapons in Roblox Rivals
On April 24, 2026, Roblox Rivals released its biggest content drop of the year: Season 3. This update introduced two completely new weapons that have already changed how the game is played at every skill level. The Grappler (available at Prime Tier 1 of the Season 3 Pass) and the Spear (available at Standard Tier 35) are not just cosmetic additions — they fundamentally change movement, engagement distance, and combat flow.
This guide will teach you everything you need to know about both weapons. You will learn exact damage numbers, movement techniques, advanced combos, the best loadouts for each playstyle, and how to counter players who use these weapons against you. By the end of this guide, you will be ready to dominate Season 3 ranked matches with confidence.
What Are the Grappler and Spear?
Grappler: Key Features
- Pulls YOU toward walls and surfaces
- Pulls ENEMIES toward you on direct hit
- 15 second cooldown on miss / 8 second on hit
- Can be used mid-air for aerial movement
- No damage on Grappler hit — setup tool only
Spear: Key Features
- Melee swing: 45 damage (faster than Katana)
- Thrown attack: 65 damage (projectile)
- Must retrieve Spear after throwing
- Retrieve deals 25 damage if enemy picks it up
- Can be thrown while jumping or sliding
The Grappler's pull effect stuns enemies for 0.5 seconds — enough time to switch weapons and land a free headshot. Practice your weapon swap speed in the training range before trying this in ranked matches.
Damage Stats & Weapon Comparison
Understanding the exact damage numbers for both weapons is critical for winning duels. Below is a complete breakdown of damage values at different ranges.
The Spear's thrown attack deals 97 damage on headshot — enough to instantly kill any player with 100 HP or less. Always aim for the head when throwing!
Advanced Combos & Techniques
The true power of the Grappler and Spear comes from combining them with your existing loadout. Here are the most effective combos discovered by top players.
Grappler + Shotgun (One-Shot Potential)
Use the Grappler to pull an enemy directly into your face. While they are stunned from the pull animation, switch to your Shotgun and fire one shot at chest or head level. If you land the headshot, most enemies will die instantly.
Spear Throw + Uzi Finish
Open the fight by throwing your Spear at medium range for 65 damage. Immediately switch to your Uzi or Assault Rifle to spray the remaining HP. Retrieve your Spear after the kill for the next engagement.
Grappler Movement + Spear Air Throw
Use the Grappler to launch yourself into the air off a wall. While airborne, aim and throw your Spear at a grounded enemy. The elevated angle makes headshots easier, and the movement makes you harder to hit.
After throwing your Spear, you are completely unarmed until you retrieve it. Never throw your Spear unless you are confident you can finish the fight or have a safe path to retrieve it.
Best Loadouts for Each Playstyle
| Playstyle | Primary | Secondary | Utility | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aggro Puller | Shotgun | Grappler | Flash | Pull enemies into close range, one-shot with Shotgun |
| Spear Sniper | Spear | Assault Rifle | Smoke | Open with Spear throw, finish with rifle fire |
| Movement God | Grappler | Uzi | Grenade | Use Grappler for repositioning, never stand still |
| Duelist | Spear (melee) | Revolver | Flash | Close distance, melee + quick headshot finish |
How to Counter Grappler & Spear Users
- Against Grappler: Stay near cover that blocks line of sight. If you see the Grapple beam, dodge sideways immediately. The Grappler has a long cooldown on miss — punish the user while they are vulnerable.
- Against Spear: Bait the throw. If you see the Spear leave their hand, they are weaponless until they retrieve it. Push aggressively when they are unarmed.
- Against Both: Shotguns and Uzis are the biggest threats. Out-range them with a Sniper or Burst Rifle.
Training Drills to Master Both Weapons
| Drill | Weapon | Goal | Repetitions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Jump + Grapple | Grappler | Air strafe control | 50 |
| Enemy Pull + Shotgun | Grappler + Shotgun | Sub 1 sec kill | 100 |
| Spear Throw Accuracy | Spear | 80% hit rate at 20m | 200 |
| Throw + Retrieve Cycle | Spear | 3 sec full cycle | 50 |
Final Thoughts
The Grappler and Spear have fundamentally changed how Roblox Rivals is played in Season 3. Players who master these weapons early will have a significant advantage. Start with the Grappler + Shotgun combo — it is the easiest to learn and the most lethal in close-range maps like Ruined Temple.
