GGGRRRR I HATE THUMPERS

[shrieking freaker]

FIRST, let me preface this by saying that i think lethal company is a great game, due to the recent influx of negative discussions

alright, now i can talk about my burning hatred for thumpers

1. its just lazy game design
ok, the baboon hawk lies down on the ground and pretends to be part of the scenery
it gets up if you get too close, but only attacks if it has a big enough group of others
the thumper run up and hits you.

WHAT

zeekers, your better than this. i should know. i played the upturned and it was a mile-a-minute of cool game design

2. you will be killed. period.
it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get away from a thumper once it sees you.
also, it does INSANE damage for something that fast, which is cringe and not cool.

3. i love daszombes's ( www.youtube.com/@Daszombes )idea for a thumper rework
his idea is great, maybe you could jump over when its charging or something, or its more like a turret where you just have to get the ♥♥♥♥ out of the way before it atomizes you.

anyway, hope this sparks some changes, or maybe not, i dont really care either way (lie)

new update got me like

The only problem with Thumpers is that after the first player encounter, they permanently stay in their enraged mode, where they roam faster and don't perform the initial charge before zooming in on the player.

[Christisking]

two hoarding bugs are more of a threat than one thumper imo. you can stunlock the thumper. if you use a stun gernade/flashbang then you can take the thumper out no problem

[syn]

you can literally deal with them so easily. Just get them to slow down then pace yourself while you shovel it to death. It's such a easy enemy

[David]

I don't want to say they're easy unnecessarily but they can be dealt with (if you have a shovel). Permanent enrage could be an issue especially when there are multiple thumpers or other enemies to deal with simultaneously, like coilheads.

Do they calm down at all if everyone leaves the facility? Their roaming speed is quite fast by default.

Killing them isn't hard, but avoiding them is really hard.

mod named god shovel

Thumpers are weird because if you actually fight them you literally stunlock them to death so easily with nothing but a shovel, but if you don't have a shovel they're a buggy broken hyper berserker mess of an enemy that will kill everyone or at least push them out of the facility. Until they're fixed bring a shovel along to deal with them and backpedal while swinging. Try your best to not let them build up any speed.

You can jump over them with no equipment.
Shovel stunlocks them if hit during initial charge, otherwise you'll tank damage to stun due to range.

skill issue

[John Eldenring]

This is skill issue on a noob level lmao. Thumpers are extremely weak to backpedalling, since their speed slows down once they reach you, and the shovel has more range than the thumper so you can kite him while walking backwards.

[Shae]

It's called kiting, you should try it sometime.

[so what]

1 shovel hit leaves thumpers in hitstun for longer than your shovel needs to swing again, theyre quite literally the freest kill of any of the monsters

[M.D Geist]

Solve problem with mods, shotgun worky gud against thumpers.

[Jackpot]

Corners are its weakness and as many say you can stunlock it.
Tbf often there’s a good amount of corners, just risky if it’s full of sentries or land mines.

Only problem is it bugs and if you leave exit it’ll stay on enraged state rendering that doorway inaccessible unless you’re able to get in and stunlock it, but risky as hell.
