Look love you can power attack with spear but i feel like if you hold left trigger you should also be able to throw but if it hits a zomb it will lose like 20 durablity and now sledges i dont know wjy you cant but chains and barb wire would be a good thing to put on them but they could make it slower

Spears used to throw versions back, but that made them almost a single use item like arrows. You’d have to go back to retrieve them. Then they changed it to what we have now. TBH it is better now. I’ve tried both. If they do that, maybe create a different weapon class called throwing weapons. Then they could also implement ninja stars, axes, knives, etc.

No like what im sayin is if you hold down left trigger long enough itll let you throw it like a javelin or something
 
Yeah, throwing a spear was kind of useless. It made your weapon single-use until you went to pick it back up. And I've lost a spear before because I couldn't get to it before it disappeared while fighting other enemies (it was in grass and I was running around, so I couldn't figure out where it had landed). I also had one stick into another player and it took a LOT of effort to get the game to let me grab it again. It didn't give me an option to grab it until I jumped around all over the place to get the angle just perfect that I could grab it. It could have de-spawned before I was able to get it back. Losing a weapon filled with mods isn't a good thing even if you can afford to make a new weapon and all the mods again. The current method is much better and I wouldn't want to see the spears go back to being thrown again.

The only way a thrown weapon would be okay is if it's a stackable throwing weapon so that you have multiple throws before running out. Single throws and then switching to another weapon just isn't useful in most situations. Things like javelins, throwing knives, throwing axes, throwing stars, darts, etc. are what you'd want to use for a thrown weapon, and they should stack to a minimum of 5, but preferably 10-20. You wouldn't be able to have mods on them as a mod shouldn't affect everything in a stack. Although perhaps a throwing weapon can have a special slot that can be modded, but with special mods that would make sense for a stack, such as poison. And you should be able to pick them back up after throwing them, similar to grabbing arrows.

I would like that even less than losing the spear when thrown. :)

It is extremely unlikely that they would add a third kind of attack to the spear. You have a better chance promoting a set of thrown weapons rather than changing up the spear.
