2 Shiverpeaks weapon skins bugs

As far as the names go, Spears (names) are also known as Harpoons (weapon-type), and Harpoon Guns (names) are also known as Spears (weapon-type). I know, it’s odd, but used throughout the game.

I know spear = harpoon and speargun = harpoon gun (which is confusing enough) but calling the harpoon gun skin “spear” is ridiculous.

I would imagine it is because they are both ‘projectile’ type weapons. You would ‘throw’ a spear, and a harpoon gun ‘throws’ out a spear-type projectile.
So? Hammers and maces are both blunt weapons, and they don’t get mixed up in their descriptions.
I’m pretty sure this is a mistake.

Yes, you are probably right. There should be Etched Spear and Etched Speargun, no Etched Harpoon gun. Perhaps all the ‘Harpoon = Spear’ confused the artist, or whoever assigns the names.
I think some other weapons have this harpoon/spear/harpoon gun/spear gun problem, as well.
