It would be nice if the thumper could be removed from the plague star bounty missions, it consistently will spawn during the day cycle on plains and interupt the hemocyte encounter and causes chaos whenever it does. Players end up splitting targets between the thumper and the boss which makes the mission take longer than it should especially on steel path where the thumpers health is buffed. If I wanted to fight a thumper I would que for a regular bounty the same goes for edilons which on occasion will also cross paths with the boss.
