HINTS & TIPS
Hints and tips from the original Wormsters - Team 17
Producing Worm hints and tips are difficult, the game has so many different
facets that producing a definitive playing guide is difficult, probably
impossible. Obviously it depends on the set-up but here are some suggestions;
When you are about to use a homing missile, or airstrike, move your Worm to a
safer area where possible, for example - under a
overhanging ledge or similar.
Restrict teleports to 1 or even off, so that people really have to contemplate
their moves and do not get the chance to hide away.
Make the digging tools limited, forces people to attack.
Air strikes are particulalry effective against groups of enemy worms.
Always check the wind, try against the wind shots for some spectacular
results.
Learn the method of swinging on the rope and being able to throw yourself up
and over objects.
Learn the method of shotgunning mines onto other worms, try and read where the
mines will go.
Use the blast wave effect of explosions to move Worms/mines in certain
directions.
Never stand on the edge of cliff overhanging water!
Keep as high as possible, in the centre of the playfield - too near the edge
and you could be blown off the screen.
When using Banana bombs, try throwing the bomb into a small crevice, the
resulting explosion is incredible...
When using grenades etc and you wish to throw a grenade down a tunnel, you can
do this by setting a long timer and using HIGH bounce,
the grenade will roll and bounce much more effectively.
Try and use the shotgun more often in Sudden Death (Extra Time on PSX!)
situations as 2 shots are very effective in this mode.
Use the rope to throw yourself off and hit other worms into the water.
Turn Homing Missiles and Air Strikes off, rely on supply crates for a chance
of these...
Remember that mines are proximity based and you cannot use them like Dynamite
- they will only explode if another Worm is near enough.
The Shotgun and Uzi can be used in long range mode, try zooming out and
picking off distant Worms sniper style.
Try and win the match with a prod... guaranteed to wind up opposing players!
