The Thumper is a Grenade Launcher that was introduced in the Grenade Fest Update during its Event; it would later become an addition for the Road Warrior Pack.
Strategy[]
Similar to the Flare Gun, this Launcher found itself being used long into the Old Meta, even after the Golden Age ended; as though only holding a single cannister in its tube, the damage, splash, and range are amazing; however it does share some effects with arming guns, which is the projectile still dips, but it does quite a stellar job nonetheless, as the lobs are impact-based and do not have a bouncing effect, making it easy to use from large distances. In the New Meta this weapon is shaken by moderate builds.
Due to the dip its bombs create and the sheer size they are, users should always be weary of Run And Guns with this Launcher, avoiding close distances, more often taking a Camping approach. Without a decent build to survive, the user will succumb to their own explosions, or the enemies Shotgun, Heavy Weapon, or Water Weapon.

Trivia[]
- When in reload, the player may notice its projectile which is a small canister with a black coating and a yellow stripe near the border of its fuze.
- It can be seen in greater detail when equipping it, but does still require a recording device since to occurs in just ten frames of a second.
- This gun has had many iterations from games and movies, but it all stems from the M79 Grenade Launcher.
- However the internals of this weapon are abnormal, having the breach-action of the M79, yet a pump action is required after every reload - a basis for improving the mentioned weapon, known as the China Lake grenade launcher.
- During the Halloween Haunt Update and for a time, this weapon was dramatically buffed, able to reload in just 600 milliseconds, or a 100% reload speed increase!
