Firefall - Thumper Guide!

I had a few requests to make my cheat sheets available, so here they are. Here's a quick guide to the different thumpers in FF.


Thumper Recommended
Players
Capacity
Stock Personal
1
250
Light Personal
1-2
400
Medium Personal
1-2
650
Heavy Personal
1-2
1000
Stock Squad
4-5
350
Light Squad

Medium Squad
4-5
900
Heavy Squad
4-5
1250

Additionally, there has been a slight change to how the 100% bonus is applied and how resources are split.

If your group is doing a "personal" thumper, the basic capacity will be split between everyone. However, the bonus materials will be shared between everyone. Meanwhile, a "Squad" thumper will have the basic capacity shared and the bonus materials shared.

For example, if two people are doing the Stock Personal Thumper, and they get it to 100%, each person gets 125 from the base capacity (250/2) and an additional 250 from the bonus, for 325 total.

If four people are doing a Light Personal Thumper, they would each get 100 from the base capacity (400/4) and an additional 400 from the bonus, for 500 total.

However, if the same 4 people do a Stock Squad Thumper, they would each get 350 from the base capacity and an additional 350 from the bonus, for 700 total.

This change makes it so that it is still advantageous for a small group to do a larger sized personal thumper, while still giving a big group doing a squad thumper an incentive.
