Spearmen appear in Far Cry Primal. All three of the tribes have Spearmen, making them one of the more common enemy classes found in Oros. They are fierce warriors, often seen hunting with other members of their tribe when hunting for resources. Due to the high power of the spear, all Spearmen are a force to be reckoned with up close, as all of their targets will quickly die from a barrage of spears. They also charge and stab at opponents if given the chance.

Udam Spearmen are very bulky and quick, and their weapon of choice makes them a force to be reckoned with. They can be found anywhere in Oros, but are much more common towards the Northern Oros where the Udam inhabit. The Udam Spearmen wear two different outfits depending on where they are found, with the ones in the cold north decked in more clothing and body armour. Their Elite variants have face masks that prevent them from being headshotted.
The spear is a dangerous weapon, and the rate of fire is faster and less time is needed for aim precision. The Udam Spearmen are a little bit more as effective at using their spears as the other tribes, perhaps due to resource scarcity and because their preferred tactics are charging at the opponents and stunning them with their clubs, and using poisonous rot fumes. While the Udam Spearmen can charge at their opponents, it deals much less damage to them then if they fired their spears.
Izila Spearmen[]

- Health points: Medium
- Damage: Low
- Attack Rate: Low
- Range: Melee / Medium
- Movement Speed: Medium
- Special features: Charge with lance

Izila Spearmen less agile and bulky than their Udam counterparts, though their powerful weapon still makes them a huge threat, capable of taking at least two arrows from their chests and below, and while headshots still kill them instantly, some Elite Izila Spearmen have hard clay masks to shield this weakness

Found in the Southern Marshlands that the Izila call home, using their spears in close-combat much less than the other two tribes. Scantily-clad, these Spearmen are covered in the Izila's blue body paint.
While their spear use may at first seem pathetic compared to the Udam's, the Izila Spearmen are not all that different, simply much less effective at throwing and handling the spears and slightly easier to take down and being incompetent. The Izila tribe has much less Spearmen than the Udam.
Izilla Spearmen make up the tribes 3 basic soldiers found throughout their lands, the other two being Archers and Warriors. They will protect their lands at all costs, despite being the strongest normal soldier, they are the weakest Elite, most likely due to balancing reasons.
Wenja Spearmen[]

The Wenja Spearmen are not very unique from the other two tribes, being similar to the Udam Spearmen in rate of fire. Commonly found in Wenja groups wandering across Oros in their journey to take back their land from the Udam and Izilla, the Wenja Spearmen are unique in that they have both men and women taking control of spears, unlike the Udam and Izila, who only have men using these weapons. Because the Wenja are much less varied in enemy types, the Spearmen in the Wenja tribe are the best that they have to offer in combat.
Karoosh the Warrior is a famed user of the spear from the Wenja, and he teaches the inhabitants of the Wenja Village how to use it effectively.
They, like the Udam, have two different outfits depending on the climate for both male and female Spearmen. As the Wenja move into the Udam homelands, infamous for being cold and brutal, during the later events of Far Cry Primal, they bundle up and wear more body armour in addition to their warmer clothing.
