The '''thump cannon''' is a [[mechanoid]]-only weapon equipped on [[termite]]s with a low base damage rating but with exceptional damage multipliers against buildings.

This weapon cannot be independently obtained in normal play. It is provided here for comparisons sake.

== Acquisition ==
Thump cannons spawn on all [[termite]]s. However, it is not possible to obtain it directly in normal play. Pawns carrying it will not drop it on [[death]], [[downing]], or complete loss of [[manipulation]] like other weapons. It can be spawned in by the [[Development mode#Debug actions menu|Debug actions menu]] but, like all [[unobtainable items|unobtainable weapons]], will disappear after being dropped.

== Summary ==
Thump cannons do [[damage types#Thump|Thump damage]] which has a 15x damage multiplier to impassable buildings, 7.5x multiplier to passable buildings, a 4x multiplier against plants. Furthermore, walls and natural rock walls have a further 2x multiplier when taking Thump damage resulting in a 30x multiplier. Thus, for base damage before [[quality]] modifiers, the thump cannon deals:
* [[Pawns]]: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}}}
* Impassable [[buildings]]: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*15}}
* Passable buildings: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*7.5}}
* [[Plants]]: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*4}}
* [[Walls]] & natural rock walls: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*30}}

For the purposes of [[Apparel#Protection|armor calculation]], thump cannons are considered Sharp damage.

== Analysis ==
Due to Thump damage's multipliers, thump cannon are only moderately damaging to living targets but do massive damage to buildings and walls. A single shot can destroy 3-tile wide stretch of granite wall, and only two are required to breach plasteel. The thump cannon can down unarmored pawns in five hits on average, and most often kill from brain damage.

{{Weapon Stats Table}}
Note that while the other qualities are defined by the game code and can be spawned in with dev mode, only Poor, Normal, and Good quality thump cannon will ever spawn in-game naturally.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Added
* [[Version/1.3.3200|1.3.3200]] - Reduced range from 25.9 to 24.9. [[Damage types#Thump|Thump damage]] multiplier versus [[wall]]s reduced from 4x to 2x.
