Are you struggling to choose the best harpoon in Spear Fishing? With so many options available, it’s easy to waste precious coins on upgrades that won’t help you progress. I’ve spent countless hours testing every harpoon and speargun in the game to bring you the most comprehensive tier list available.

In this complete guide, you’ll discover exactly which harpoons are worth your coins, which ones to avoid, and the optimal progression path that will take you from beginner to endgame in record time. I’ll also reveal the speargun secrets that most players miss – these game-changing weapons can save you weeks of grinding!

Spear Fishing Harpoon Tier List: Complete Rankings

After analyzing every weapon’s stats, cost efficiency, and performance at different game stages, I’ve created the definitive tier list for Spear Fishing. This ranking considers damage output, charge time, critical hit chance, and most importantly, value for money at each progression point.

Complete Tier List Overview

Tier	Harpoons	Overall Value
S Tier	Pirate Spear, Star Trident, Guardian Trident, Abyss Trident, Forest Trident	Essential purchases that define progression
A Tier	Sea King Trident, Steel Harpoon, Refined Harpoon	Strong early-game options with good ROI
B Tier	Alloy Harpoon, Divine Trident	Situational picks, generally outclassed
C Tier	Basic Harpoon, Green Flame Trident, Blazing Trident, Thunder Trident	Avoid or skip entirely

S Tier Harpoons: The Best Weapons in Spear Fishing

These harpoons offer exceptional value and performance at their respective price points. If you’re wondering which harpoons are actually worth buying, start here.

Pirate Spear

Charge Time: 1.2s (fastest in game)
Critical Chance: 18% (highest in game)
Damage Range: 75,000–112,500
Cost: 5,000,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: ABSOLUTELY YES

The Pirate Spear stands as the undisputed king of harpoons in Spear Fishing. With the fastest charge time and highest critical chance in the game, it delivers devastating damage that makes even the toughest fish feel manageable. While the 5 million coin price tag seems steep, this harpoon will carry you through all endgame content and make farming incredibly efficient.

Pro Tip: Save your gems and focus on coin farming with your Basic Speargun until you can afford this beast. The Pirate Spear combined with good fishing techniques will make you unstoppable.

Star Trident

Charge Time: 1.3s
Critical Chance: 16%
Damage Range: 48,000–72,000
Cost: 1,000,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: YES

The Star Trident represents the sweet spot for players who want endgame power without the extreme cost of the Pirate Spear. Its impressive damage range and solid charge time make it perfect for farming mid-to-late game zones efficiently. Many players actually prefer the Star Trident over the Pirate Spear because it reaches 80% of the performance for only 20% of the cost.

Guardian Trident

Charge Time: 1.4s
Critical Chance: 15%
Damage Range: 5,000–7,500
Cost: 100,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: YES

This is arguably the best value harpoon in the entire game. For just 100,000 coins, you get a weapon that performs exceptionally well in mid-to-late game zones. The Guardian Trident bridges the gap perfectly between early game weapons and the ultra-expensive endgame options. If you’re following an optimal progression path, this should be your first major harpoon investment.

Abyss Trident

Charge Time: 1.5s
Critical Chance: 11%
Damage Range: 2,600–3,900
Cost: 15,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: YES

The Abyss Trident is the gateway to mid-game content. At only 15,000 coins, it offers incredible value and will help you farm gems efficiently for your first speargun purchase. Many players skip directly from the Sea King Trident to the Abyss Trident, ignoring the Alloy Harpoon entirely – and for good reason!

Forest Trident

Charge Time: 1.4s
Critical Chance: 16%
Damage Range: 15,000–22,500
Cost: 210,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: YES

The Forest Trident delivers reliable performance with its excellent critical hit chance and solid damage output. It’s particularly effective against mid-game fish and serves as a great stepping stone toward the more expensive tridents. The 16% crit chance means you’ll frequently see those satisfying high-damage hits.

A Tier Harpoons: Strong Early Game Options

These harpoons provide excellent value in the early game and are worth picking up as you progress.

Sea King Trident

Charge Time: 1.6s
Critical Chance: 7%
Damage Range: 1,200–1,800
Cost: FREE (Join Fishgig Game Roblox group)
How to Get: Join the Fishgig Game Roblox group and claim in-game
Worth Getting?: ABSOLUTELY YES (IT’S FREE!)

This is the single best value weapon in the entire game. It’s completely free and outperforms most early-game harpoons. The Sea King Trident allows you to skip several paid upgrades and save your coins for more important purchases later. If you do nothing else, join the Fishgig group and get this trident immediately.

Pro Tip: The Sea King Trident is so good that many experienced players use it until they can afford the Abyss Trident, completely skipping the Steel and Alloy Harpoons.

Steel Harpoon

Charge Time: 1.7s
Critical Chance: 8%
Damage Range: 800–1,200
Cost: 2,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: YES

The Steel Harpoon offers the best damage-per-coin ratio in the early game. For just 2,000 coins, you get a significant upgrade over the Refined Harpoon that will help you progress through the first zones more quickly. However, if you have the Sea King Trident, you can skip this one entirely.

Refined Harpoon

Charge Time: 1.7s
Critical Chance: 6%
Damage Range: 250–375
Cost: 300 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: YES

This is your first real upgrade from the Basic Harpoon. The Refined Harpoon makes the tutorial zones much more manageable and is worth the small investment. However, don’t spend too much time with it – once you have enough coins, move up to better options quickly.

B Tier Harpoons: Outclassed but Usable

These harpoons aren’t terrible, but they’re generally outclassed by other options at their price points. Only consider these if you have extra coins and nothing better to buy.

Alloy Harpoon

Charge Time: 1.6s
Critical Chance: 9%
Damage Range: 1,700–2,550
Cost: 8,500 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: NO

The Alloy Harpoon suffers from being stuck in an awkward price range. For just 6,500 more coins, you can get the Abyss Trident, which significantly outperforms it. Most experienced players skip this harpoon entirely and save their coins for better upgrades.

Divine Trident

Charge Time: 1.5s
Critical Chance: 12%
Damage Range: 3,300–4,950
Cost: 50,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: NO

While the Divine Trident has decent stats on paper, it’s completely outclassed by the Forest Trident, which costs only 4 times more but delivers nearly 5 times the damage. Additionally, the Abyss Trident at 15,000 coins offers better value for players progressing through the mid-game.

C Tier Harpoons: Avoid These Weapons

These harpoons are either overpriced, underpowered, or both. Save your coins and gems for better options.

Basic Harpoon

Charge Time: 1.8s
Critical Chance: 5%
Damage Range: 100–150
Cost: Free (default weapon)
How to Get: Starting weapon
Worth Getting?: N/A (you start with it)

The Basic Harpoon is exactly what it sounds like – basic. It’s fine for the first few minutes of gameplay, but you’ll want to upgrade as quickly as possible. Use it just long enough to earn 300 coins for the Refined Harpoon.

Green Flame Trident

Charge Time: 1.4s
Critical Chance: 16%
Damage Range: 12,000–18,000
Cost: 399 Robux
How to Get: Purchase with Robux
Worth Getting?: NO

This Robux-only harpoon is strictly worse than the Forest Trident, which costs only coins. There’s absolutely no reason to spend real money on this when you can get better performance for free in the game. Save your Robux for game passes or other more valuable purchases.

Blazing Trident

Charge Time: 1.3s
Critical Chance: 16%
Damage Range: 20,000–30,000
Cost: 450,000 Coins
How to Get: Purchase from HarpoonShop NPC David
Worth Getting?: NO

The Blazing Trident looks impressive on paper with its high damage, but it’s completely outclassed by the Star Trident. For less than half the price, you get more than double the damage with the Star Trident. This is a classic example of a weapon that’s all flash and no substance.

Thunder Trident

Charge Time: 1.1s
Critical Chance: 20%
Damage Range: 140,000–210,000
Cost: 1,999 Robux
How to Get: Purchase with Robux near second Harpoon shop
Worth Getting?: NO

While the Thunder Trident technically has the highest DPS in the game, it costs an absurd amount of Robux. For the same real-world money, you could buy multiple game passes or other valuable items that would provide more long-term benefit. This is strictly for players who want to skip progression entirely and have money to burn.

Complete Speargun Guide: The Secret to Fast Progression

Most tier lists focus only on harpoons, but spearguns are actually the key to rapid progression in Spear Fishing. These weapons use gems instead of coins and can provide massive power spikes at a fraction of the coin cost of equivalent harpoons.

All Spearguns Ranked

Speargun	Charge Time	Crit Chance	Damage Range	Cost	Worth Getting?
Basic Speargun	1.0s	5%	38,000–57,000	300 Gems	YES
Carbon Speargun	0.9s	8%	49,000–73,500	Day 7 Log-in reward	YES
Wave Speargun	0.85s	12%	117,000–175,500	800 Gems	NO
Lava Speargun	0.8s	16%	183,000–274,500	1,500 Gems	NO
Golden Speargun	0.75s	20%	468,000–702,000	3,000 Gems	YES

Essential Speargun Details

Basic Speargun

This is the single most important weapon purchase you can make in Spear Fishing. For just 300 gems, you get a weapon that performs as well as harpoons costing millions of coins. The Basic Speargun will revolutionize your farming and allow you to progress through zones that were previously impossible.

Pro Tip: Focus on filling your fish album to get gems quickly. Each new fish you catch adds to your album progression, which rewards you with gems. This is the fastest way to earn enough gems for your first speargun.

Carbon Speargun

A free upgrade you get just for logging in consistently! The Carbon Speargun offers solid improvements over the Basic Speargun and is definitely worth using once you unlock it. Since it’s free, there’s no reason not to use it when available.

Golden Speargun

This is the ultimate endgame weapon in Spear Fishing. With nearly half a million damage and the fastest charge time in the game, the Golden Speargun makes even the toughest fish feel trivial. While 3,000 gems seems like a lot, it’s actually achievable through dedicated album completion and daily rewards.

Pro Tip: Weapon changes are instant and free, so don’t hesitate to experiment with different options to see what works best for your current fishing zone and targets.

Advanced Tips and Strategies

Fish Selection for Maximum Profit

Not all fish are created equal when it comes to earning coins and gems. Here’s what to focus on at each stage:

Early Game (Beginner River to Rushing Stream)

Target: Rare fish (blue glow)
Avoid: Epic fish (too much HP for the reward)
Why: Rare fish offer the best HP-to-coin ratio early on

Mid Game (Island Center Lake)

Target: Mutated fish
Why: Mutations provide significant coin multipliers
Strategy: Fish during specific climates that trigger desired mutations

Late Game (Submerged Pond)

Target: Legendary fish
Avoid: Mythic fish (too much HP until you have endgame weapons)
Why: Legendary fish provide the best balance of challenge and reward

Climate and Mutation System

The recent Update 1 introduced a climate system that affects fish mutations. Here’s how to leverage it:

Climate Changes: Every 10 minutes
Iceborn Climate: Triggers exclusive mutations with high value
Strategy: Wait for favorable climates before fishing for profit
Pro Tip: Different weather types during climates can trigger different mutations

Gem Farming Strategies

Gems are crucial for speargun purchases, so here’s how to maximize your gem income:

Complete Your Fish Album: Every new fish entry rewards gems
Use Active Codes: Check the official Discord for current codes
Daily Rewards: Log in consistently for bonus gems
Sell Mutated Fish: They often provide bonus gems alongside coins
Trade with Other Players: Sometimes you can trade for fish you’re missing

Common Mistakes to Avoid

After helping hundreds of players optimize their progression, I’ve identified these common mistakes:

1. Buying Every Harpoon

Many players feel compelled to buy every harpoon as they progress. This is a huge waste of coins! Stick to the optimal progression path and skip the underperforming weapons.

2. Ignoring Spearguns

Some players focus exclusively on harpoons and never realize the power of spearguns. The Basic Speargun, in particular, is a game-changer that costs only 300 gems.

3. Spending Gems on Bait

Gems are too valuable to waste on bait. Save every gem you can for speargun purchases, which provide permanent power increases rather than temporary boosts.

4. Not Joining the Fishgig Group

Missing out on the free Sea King Trident is one of the biggest mistakes new players make. This single free weapon can save you thousands of coins.

5. Farming the Wrong Fish

Spending time on fish with poor HP-to-coin ratios will slow your progression significantly. Focus on the right fish types for your current stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best harpoon in Spear Fishing?

The Pirate Spear is technically the best harpoon with its 1.2s charge time, 18% crit chance, and 75,000–112,500 damage range. However, the Star Trident offers better value for most players, providing 80% of the performance for only 20% of the cost.

Should I buy the Thunder Trident with Robux?

Absolutely not. While the Thunder Trident has impressive stats, it costs 1,999 Robux and is completely outclassed by the Golden Speargun, which can be obtained through gameplay. Your Robux is better spent on game passes or saved entirely.

How do I get gems quickly in Spear Fishing?

The fastest way to get gems is by completing your fish album. Each new fish you catch adds to your album progression, which rewards you with gems. Additionally, use active codes from the official Discord, log in daily for rewards, and focus on catching mutated fish.

What’s the optimal weapon progression in Spear Fishing?

The most efficient progression is: Basic Harpoon → Refined Harpoon → Sea King Trident (free) → Abyss Trident → Basic Speargun → Pirate Spear → Golden Speargun. This path minimizes wasted coins and maximizes progression speed.

Can I play Spear Fishing without spending Robux?

Absolutely! All of the best weapons in the game can be obtained with coins or gems earned through gameplay. The Robux weapons offer poor value compared to what you can get for free, so there’s no need to spend real money to progress effectively.

How do mutations work in Spear Fishing?

Mutations were added in Update 1 and are triggered by specific climate conditions. Mutated fish have different appearances and provide significantly more coins when sold. Different climates and weather types trigger different mutations, so pay attention to the current conditions when fishing for profit.

What’s the difference between harpoons and spearguns?

Harpoons are purchased with coins from HarpoonShop NPC David, while spearguns are purchased with gems from GunShop Uzi. Spearguns generally offer much better performance for their cost compared to harpoons, making them essential for efficient progression.
