"A more compact version of the Thumper, the D-Variant offers less damage and knockback acceleration than a typical Spinfusor."

The Thumper D is one of the three Thumper variations in Tribes: Ascend, and is the default secondary weapon for the Soldier. Despite there being only three variations, the Thumper class weapons are the most commonly used weapon, used more than the Spinfusors, which have eleven variations.
