i think he means this:

if you look under aquatic, the "harpoon" is actually a spear

just a little inconsistent with naming everywhere else

Because Whisper's weapon, as well as the other order's weapons were available since launch...before the change.

A harpoon and spear are essentially the same thing except for the harpoon having a barbed tip. In the game, there is spear and harpoon gun. Harpoon gun doesn’t exist as the closest you’ll find is a harpoon cannon. Speargun does exist though and more closely resembles what is being used in game.
