Only one Thumper at a time will appear on the Plains at any instance, and there is a 90 to 120 second cooldown time before another Thumper will spawn.The advanced Thumper variants - the Tusk Thumper Bull and Tusk Thumper Doma - have higher chances of spawning when performing high level Bounties.When a Thumper only has half its health left, it will eject a hatch on its top side, opening up a launcher that will allow it to release Tusk Seeker Drones to call in reinforcements.They will only emerge from the ground once players are within striking distance. Dormant Thumpers are buried underground and thus are not visible from long distances.These weapons have their own hitboxes and hitpoints, which can be destroyed to temporarily knock them out of commission. The Thumper has two ranged weapons consisting of a large telescopic cannon on its front and a rapid-fire autocannon on one side.This can be a key way of getting to the "back" weakspots. If you are hovering above the ground such as in an Archwing they will have no effect on you, although the sounds of the impacts will stagger your aim. These shockwaves, as the physics of their source imply, are purely through the ground. The Thumper in this state is immobile, however, making it easier for players to aim for its weak spots, particularly its "back" two legs that it typically keeps turning away from you as it moves around and turns to aim weapons at you.
