"The full-sized Thumper gives Technicians much needed stopping power indoors, as well as added maneuverability."
The Thumper is one of the three Thumper variations in Tribes: Ascend, and is an unlockable primary weapon for the Technician. 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. With the addition of the Thumper, the Technician changed from a support role to an offensive role.
