Overview[edit]
The Grandpappy Ping is a semi-automatic rifle modeled after the classic M1 Garand. It’s a dependable mid-tier weapon that balances respectable damage with an iconic reload mechanic. While not the fastest or flashiest rifle in DEAD, the Ping has style and staying power.
Beast Upgrades[edit]
- Pongpappy – Damage increase and faster reloads.
- Singpappy – Adds more sustain DPS with quicker cycling and reduced recoil.
- Dingpocalypse – Final form; brutal late-game rifle with absurd fire rate and damage.
Tips[edit]
- Strong headshot potential; precision players get the most out of it.
- Upgrade path makes it a surprisingly good late-game weapon if you invest.
Trivia[edit]
- The nickname “Ping” comes directly from the M1 Garand’s famous clip eject sound.
- The Beast upgrade names are part of a running gag in development.
- Internal dev notes originally listed it as “Rifle”.
