Rifle Spear is one of the trick weapons in Bloodborne. It is a spear with a gun attached, so you can both pierce and shoot enemies with it.

It can be found in Old Yharnam. In this guide, we’ll show you the location, stats and move set of the Rifle Spear.
The most obvious selling point for it is the rifle part – it is the only weapon we’ve encountered so far that can parry while in two-handed mode. The two-handed charged R2 strike has unbelievable reach, and can make a lot of enemies much easier to deal with, in the right hands. The regular attacks offer decent reach with acceptable damage, too. The melee scales decently with Skill, while the shooting is governed by Bloodtinge.
Where To Find Rifle Spear
Awaken at the Old Yharnam lamp and head outside.
Go left across the bridge, then right down the stairs.
Turn right near the statues, and go down the stairs.
You don’t have to fight any of the enemies at this point, if you’re quick enough.
Do not fall down! Go left through the hole, then down the ladder on the right.
Watch out for the birds and go behind the little tower.
Do not jump down all the way – it’ll kill you.
Roll jump onto the stone slab…
…then jump down onto the terrace.
Turn around and enter the building. There are a lot of enemies here (ten or so), so be careful.
Go up the stairs and follow the walkway.
Before the next set of stairs, there is a dead body between some cupboards.
The Rifle Spear can be found on that body. There is another way to get this weapon, but it’s costly. There is a hunter in Old Yharnam called Djura – he’s the one shooting at you with the Gatling Gun from the rooftops. If you kill him, you’ll get the Powder Keg Hunter Badge, which unlocks the Rifle Spear (4000 Blood Echoes) and Stake Driver (8000 Blood Echoes) at the Messenger Bath in Hunter’s Dream.
There’s supposedly a non-lethal way to deal with Djura, too. If you enter Old Yharnam for the first time while wearing the Black Church Armor Set, then kill the Blood-starved Beast and approach him, he won’t shoot you. After talking to him, you’ll get the Powder Keg Hunter Badge, and unlock the items at the Messenger shop. That’s just speculation, though, so don’t put too much faith into it.
There is a way to cheese Djura and it’s a glitch in the game. Climb the long ladder to where he is, but as soon as you reach the top, pause before you get off until he approaches you and stops, then get off the ladder, press X again to descend and go back down. Sometimes he will come after you and fall to his death. You pick up the badge (can’t remember where either at the top or the bottom of the ladder)
