Thumper

The Thumper is an unlockable primary weapon used by the Technician class. It can be unlocked for 780 Gold or 100000 XP

"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 Soldier class, only more powerful. The round detonates on impact dealing 910 damage on a direct hit. It also deals up to 650 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. The weapon starts with 25 rounds, but can be upgraded to hold a maximun 35 rounds.

Tactics
The Thumper is ideal for use indoors, espesially when used in concert with Base Sensors, Motion Sensors, or Mines which can identify incoming enemies before the player can see them. This allows the Technician to target the Thumper quickly and keep enemy players away from the Generator or Flag.

For outdoor battles, the Thumper functions just like it's smaller counterpart the 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 Spinfusor, allowing the Technician to get off an extra shot periodically.

Upgrades
The Thumper currently has the following upgrades:
 * 1) (1200 XP): +5 Ammo
 * 2) (2400 XP): +20% Damage vs Armored
 * 3) (4800 XP): +5 Ammo
