Overview[edit]

The Big Papa Thompson is a classic drum-mag SMG, famed for its bullet hose antics. It delivers solid DPS and excellent crowd control, though reloads are on the slower side. The weapon is as flashy as it is functional — perfect for players who like to lay down relentless fire while looking stylish.

Beast Upgrades[edit]

  • Big Bad Papa – Extended magazine, higher DPS, recoil control remains manageable.
  • Godfather’s Cough – Stronger fire rate and damage; reloads tighten slightly.
  • Untouchaboom – Final form; blistering fire rate and massive mag make it a genuine late-game spray weapon, capable of rivaling LMGs.

Tips[edit]

  • Best used for holding choke points or crowd clearing.
  • Reload discipline is key — the large drum mag helps, but timing still matters.
  • Scales surprisingly well into mid-to-late game if upgraded, though ammo economy becomes an issue.

Trivia[edit]

  • Internal codename was “Bullet Pasta” before “Big Papa Thompson” stuck.
  • The Beast chain references gangster tropes and ends in pure explosive chaos.
