The thunder khopesh is a weapon that requires 60 Attack to wield. It can be obtained from looting Deadman's chests.

It has a passive effect that grants standard, successful hits a 20% chance to summon a delayed lightning bolt at the target's location, damaging enemies in a 3x3 area for up to 50% of the player's max hit. The lightning bolt will be summoned at the centre of the target's location at the time the effect was triggered.

The lightning does not roll accuracy checks, but it is possible for enemies to move out of the effect between the attack triggering and the attack striking, causing them to avoid the damage entirely. No experience is gained from the damage dealt by the lightning bolts.

It is a corpbane weapon, meaning it does full damage to the Corporeal Beast.

The thunder khopesh has a special attack, Lightning Strike, which consumes 60% of the wielder's special attack energy. The special attack deals two hits in quick succession; if either of these is a successful hit, an additional lightning bolt is summoned that deals damage up to 100% of the player's maximum hit. Aside from a guaranteed chance to trigger and a much higher max hit, the mechanics of the lightning bolt from the special attack are otherwise identical to the lightning bolt from the passive effect.

In PvP, Lightning Strike increases damage by 30% and will summon 4 lightning bolts on the tile the target was standing on. The first bolt will commence 7 ticks after the special attack is used, subsequent bolts will occur every 2 ticks beyond the first. If the player moves 2 tiles away from that original tile, any subsequent lightning bolts will not hit them. Each bolt will do between 30% and 45% of the original damage dealt. Both the original hit and the lightning bolts can be prayed against using the correct prayer. The initial hit will be melee, the lightning bolts after will be magic.
