The harpoon gun is a weak handheld weapon that can be purchased in Subsurface.
Function
The harpoon gun is capable of launching a spear from the barrel which can strike a character or creature. The damage done by the spear is weak, however it inflicts bleeding on the target and is capable of stunning enemies to allow for a quick escape.
When the spear hits a target it may attach to it. After shooting, spears can be picked up and reused.
Usage
The harpoon gun requires both hands to use. Once equipped, the player can hold down right-click (mouse2) to aim. The harpoon will then angle itself in whatever direction your cursor is currently positioned at. Left-clicking (mouse1) will then fire the spear.

Trivia
- Pre-release videos for the game showed that spears were originally going to have a rope attached between them and the harpoon. This would allow the player to retract a spear back into the barrel of the gun after launching it.
