"The full-sized thumper gives technicians much needed stopping power indoors, as well as added maneuverability." ''In-game Description.''
==Operation==
The '''Thumper''' fires explosive rounds in a short arc; much like the [[Thumper DX]] used by the [[Tribes: Ascend/Soldier|Soldier]] class, only more powerful. The round detonates on impact and deals splash damage at close range. The round also has a time delay and will detonate in mid-air after 2 seconds. Because the '''Thumper''' fires in an arc, it is necessary to aim slightly above the intended target.

==Tactics==
The '''Thumper''' is ideal for use indoors, especially when used in concert with [[Tribes: Ascend/Radar Sensor|Radar Sensor]]s, [[Tribes: Ascend/Motion Sensor|Motion Sensor]]s, or [[Tribes: Ascend/Mines|Mines]] which can identify incoming enemies before the player can see them. This allows the [[Tribes: Ascend/Technician|Technician]] to target the''' Thumper''' quickly and keep enemy players away from the [[Tribes: Ascend/Generator|Generator]] or Flag.

For outdoor battles, the '''Thumper''' functions just like it's smaller counterpart the [[Thumper DX|DX]]. It works well when fired from above the target as this minimizes the weapon's drop-off. It also has a faster reload speed than most [[Tribes: Ascend/Spinfusor Type|Spinfusors]], allowing the Technician to get off an extra shot periodically.
==Trivia==
*The '''Thumper''' was likely inspired by the real life [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-79_grenade_launcher M-79 Grenade Launcher].
