Unkillable thumper

[iraven91]

Played with my group last night and came across a thumper. We did everything right: flashed it, then went crazy hitting it with a stop sign. Hit it over a dozen times, 13 to be exact, well aimed hits that all hit the target. You could hear the thumper pain diologue, but it wouldn't die. Killed everyone in the room. So, I guess with this update we can't kill thumpers? We play vanilla so mods aren't an issue.

Listen bro, im new to steam and Lethal Company but the first thing I would do is go to Lethal Company in your library, Left click on Lethal Company in the side bar, and it should pull up a menu with Remove From Favorites, Add To, Manage, and Properties. Then click Properties > Installed Files > Then click "View integrity of Game Files". Then open up Lethal Company and try to kill another thumper.

If this doesnt help then im very sorry and I would do some research, and if that doesnt work maybe Uninstall at last hope, ok? again im sorry if it didnt help

I killed a thumper yesterday in 4 hits with a shovel, either stop signs are bugged, do a lot less damage, or you simply got unlucky

[Gentle Nobody]

Happened to us once with shovels before the patch, dunno why or how but no hit registered even if the thumper made that little twitch when is hit. After dying even hitting the air made that *clonk* sound. It stopped when we left the planet. Which planet was it btw?

This will do literally nothing except waste his time.

I killed a few thumpers yesterday. Might've been lag or something.

I guess bugs should be expected with early access titles, but it was never a problem before the v50 update. It could be because I still have the game under beta participation? I'll change it back to normal. And, we were wondering if maybe he nerfed the stop sign; if that's the case, then what's the point of even allowing the stop sign to swing? Does the dev just enjoy trolling his players? From troll maps, to troll map mechanics such as bridges that hold no weight, to troll items that don't function as they're supposed to, it's incredibly frustrating. Also, we were on March.

Play adamance and embryon. The bridge on adamance is unusable if your carrying even a key, and embryon has $300 worth of loot and is nearly unbeatable because of all the Old Birds. I'm talking about not being able to kill a thumper with a stop sign. Have you played the update?

You can easily cross the bridge on Adamance with 20lbs, and even with 30lbs you can make it across although the bridge might break in the process. Are you trying to crouchwalk across or something?

That's not true at all. Several times I tried crossing back with loot and it always breaks. Every. Single. Time. Even while carrying a shovel to go over as soon as you land, walking normally, and being the first person to cross, it will collapse under the weight. Its a troll bridge. Which leads me back to my point: does the dev hate us?

Show me a video of you crossing the bridge with 20lbs or less and it breaking.

Try switching off the beta version and verify the game files integrity.

it's not a troll bridge, you're meant to use it as a shortcut to get to the entrance then you're supposed to go down the normal route with loot. we didn't originally even have that bridge in the beta so it's a nice qol thing

Adamance is one of the best exteriors because of the many options it has. The valley path is long and likely dangerous due to the moon's high spawnrates of baboon hawks and forest keepers, but it's always available. The long bridge is a fast and safer way to cross, but you can only cross it with 20 or 30 pounds, so if you're carrying a lot of stuff you can't take it. The destroyed bridge is only usable a few times by itself, but with an extension ladder or two it's a great way to move heavier things back to the ship.

[iraven91]

I'll switch off the beta version and see if it changes things. Thanks for the advice all! If not, I'll be back to complain.

No, but have you never noticed everything is cursed in some way? Short battery life. Sub-optimal performance. Massive negative debuff. Unintuitive controls. The Dev doesn't hate us, the game is just supposed to be hard. The planets are supposed to be inhospitable. The items are supposed to suck.
