Thunder Spears in AOTR

Thunder Spears are a major power spike for ODM-focused players. Unlocking them is a structured quest chain—no random drop ticket required once you meet the prestige rule.

Unlock requirement

Unlocked at Prestige 1. If you are still in early leveling, work through the beginner guide, grab active codes, and return once your prestige line matches the requirement above.

Quest steps

  1. Build three towers Map: Outskirts (Aberrant Skirmish) · Threat: Titans pressure your team while you build. Split the squad so each tower’s circle is covered. Brief moments off the ring usually still count, but do not play too loose with placement.
  2. Escort the carriage Map: Outskirts · Threat: A Titan can stomp the objective. Keep the carriage in motion when safe, peel threats off, and use respawns if the fight turns messy—progress usually persists.
  3. Collect Ice Burst stones Map: As marked in the quest · Threat: Elite spawns and patrols en route Clear adds before you commit to pickups so you are not downed on the return path.
  4. Collect supply crates Map: As marked in the quest · Threat: Map-dependent Finish all deliveries before you celebrate—missing one crate can lock the hand-in step.

After you finish, tune the weapon with perks, artifacts, and a family line that matches your play style—see builds. For economy questions, read values before you trade away a god-rolled spear.

Thunder Spears FAQ

  • Do I need a private server?

    Not always, but organized groups make tower and escort steps far less painful. If your public lobby is chaos, party up or host a controlled instance when the game allows.

  • What build should I run?

    Spear-friendly families and crit or damage perks matter more than copying a random loadout from chat. See the builds subpage and the perks page for pairings that still work after balance updates.

  • Can I pause between steps?

    Usually yes, but quest state is server-side. If you disconnect for a long time, re-open the quest log and confirm the step before you spend another hour.
