Adriano Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) There is unit thumper in Dune 2000. What is function of this unit? Is he useful?Another question. Where does thumper appear? Somewhere in multiplayer game? Or in missions too?Still I found him in little blue boxes (called "crates" in the game) in multiplayer game only.

Feda Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's exclusive to multiplayer/pratice I think, requires upgraded barracks.What it does is that he attracts worms to himself. Worms will ignore anything else and will move to the thumper. Once they reach him, they become passive and hold position until thumper is undeployed. Can be used to attract worms to enemy spice fields then release them there to eat enemy harvs, or to protect your own spice fields by forcing the worm to stay in one place. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear_harvester Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 in combat worms are meh useless they can eat your own tanks too. but you can put some thumpers around enemy base and camp spice fields or if he keeps tanks outside base , force worms to eat them but thumper is so soft and it die fast so have few in random places deploy it in sand outside any spice field if you dont want any worms around you doing it close to your spice field is suicidal.in general i always put thumpers in corners of map or in places where is quite far from nearest spice field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 If you put them in ur spice it's not "suicidal", it defends your harvs. Yea youre supposed to defend them but unless the player isn't a camping turret guy it should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
