The Worms W.M.D. Weapons Damage Table

Worms offers such a wide range of weapons that it is not always clear which one to use. While each one works differently from the others, there is one key factor to consider: damage. That's why we've compiled a damage table for the weapons in Worms W.M.D. which you can use to compare their effectiveness. These tables also show which weapons are sensitive to gravity, wind or magnetism.

Before moving on to the tables, there are two important concepts to note:

• The damage of explosives depends on how close the target is to the centre of the explosion. The damage shown in the following tables is at the heart of the explosion, but in most cases, unless you aim perfectly, you will always do less damage than shown in the table.
• Many weapons divide or fragment into several shots. In these cases, the number of splits is indicated in brackets. For example: the Delayed Fragmentation Grenade does 20 + 10 per fragment (6), which means that its initial explosion does 20 points of damage, then creates 6 fragments each doing 10 points of damage, for a total of 80 points of damage.

Rocket launchers

Rocket launchers are the basic weapons of Worms. Their main characteristic is that their shots explode on contact with the slightest obstacle. They therefore allow you to do damage without having to worry about a timer or random bounces. On the other hand, they are very sensitive to wind. They also allow you to effectively dig into the scenery from a good distance.

Icon	Weapons		Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Bazooka	Throws a rocket that explodes on impact.	50	Yes	Yes	Yes	Nope
	Self-guided missile	Targets a location and then launches a rocket that hits the targeted location after travelling a certain distance. Explodes on impact.	45	Yes	Yes	Yes	Nope
	Self-guided frag grenade	Target a location and then launch a rocket that hits the target location after travelling a certain distance. Create small grenades on impact.	30 + 10 per fragment (3)	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Pie Bazooka		40 + flames	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Grenades and projectiles

Grenades offer a lot of flexibility for throwing weapons. They ignore wind for the most part and can bounce off surfaces. Playing with grenades is almost like playing a game of mini-golf where you can use the ground and walls to hit hard to reach enemies. Most of them also have a timer that the player can set from 1 to 5 seconds.

	Weapons	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Pomegranate	45	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Fragmentation grenade	7 + 7 per fragment (5)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Frag. grenade Mk 2	20 + 8 per fragment (8)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Delayed fragmentation	20 + 10 per fragment (6)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Sticky spray	25	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Gas grenade	Poison	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Holy pomegranate	65	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Banana	75 per banana (6)	Yes	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Super banana bomb	75 per banana (6)	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Unwanted gift	70 + 5 per round before explosion	Yes	Yes	Yes	Nope
	Really unwanted gift	70 + 5 per round before explosion + poison	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Questionable phone battery	30 + 10 per flash	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Battery charged	60 + 10 per flash	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Stuffed Turkey Surprise	75 + flames	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes

Explosive traps

Traps are explosive devices to be placed on the ground. They can also be dropped from the air while using a jet pack or a ninja rope. Among the traps, mines differ from other weapons in that they only explode if an enemy is nearby. They can therefore be used to prevent access to certain key points.

	Weapons	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Mine	45	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Anti-tank mine	60	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Holy mine	40 + 45 per mine (3)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Dynamite	60	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Poisoned Dynamite	60 + Poison	Yes	Yes	Nope	Yes
	Ming vase	75 + 75 per fragment (3)	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes

Firearms

Firearms may seem like a small thing in a game with so many explosives, but they have real advantages. Firearms generally ignore wind and gravity as well. You only need to have a direct line of sight to an enemy to cause damage. This damage is fixed, unlike explosives where the damage decreases according to the player's distance from the centre of the explosion. Finally, firearms allow you to shoot several times in one turn, which can kill 2 worms that are far away from each other.

	Weapons	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Shotgun	25 per shot (2)	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Exercise pump gun	20 per shot (2)	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Triple barrel shotgun	20 per shot (3)	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Uzi	2 per bullet (25)	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Minicanon	5 per bullet (50)	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Spike worms	20 per spade (5)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Worm lick	8 by explosive (5)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes

Hand-to-hand

If two worms are too close, it may be difficult to use a bazooka or an explosive. Hand-to-hand weapons are used to create distance between a player and his enemy. They are also used to throw an enemy directly into the water or into traps.

	Weapons	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Pichenette	0	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Furious push	0	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Two-handed push	0 x 2	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Fire Fist	30	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Mega Punch	50	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Baseball bat	30	Nope	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Steel baseball bat	40	Nope	Yes	Nope	Yes
	Burning bat	30 + flames	Nope	Yes	Nope	Yes
	Kamikaze	30	Nope	Yes	Nope	Yes

Air attacks

Aerial attacks can attack a specific location, regardless of the attacker's position. The only constraint is that these attacks come, of course, from the air. These raids are usually used when no other offensive options are available from the position of the worm.

	Weapons	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Air Raid	30 per missile (5)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Liberty Strike	20 per missile (9) and per rebound (9)	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Demonic Strike	50 per missile (5) + flames	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Rocket W 1	10 + flames	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Crusher	30	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Triple crusher	30 per crusher	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Mega Crusher	60	Yes	Nope	Yes	Yes
	Mine Raid	45 per mine	Yes	Nope	Yes	Nope
	Carpet spray	75 per mat (5) and per rebound (3)	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Stinky carpet bomb	30 per mat (5) and per rebound (3) + poison	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Concrete donkey	80 per rebound	Yes	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Angry concrete donkey	80 per rebound + flames	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes
	OMG strike	80	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Armageddon	75 per meteor	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Wormageddon	90 per asteroid	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes

The allies

Allies allow other characters to carry out attacks. There are many different forms, with different functions and trajectories. Most of them can be controlled to a lesser degree by using the space bar.

Some examples: The player can trigger the explosion of a Sheep. The Super Sheep can be fully controlled. The old woman can release a cloud of poison.

	Weapons	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Sheep	65	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Super Sheep	75	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Sheep prod	75	Yes	Yes	Nope	Yes
	Flying sheep	75	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Electric sheep	50 + flashes	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Super flatulent sheep	50 + poison	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Grilled mutton	65 + flames	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Flying goat	50	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Old woman	75 + poison	Yes	Yes	Nope	Nope
	Agile old lady	75 + poison	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes
	The henchmen	10 per shot	Yes	Nope	Nope	Yes

The turrets

The turrets allow you to prevent access to an area automatically and without endangering your worms. They work by motion sensors: if an opponent moves into its field of view, the turret will empty its magazines on it. The turrets can only monitor one side, at an angle of about 80 degrees.

	Turrets	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Defensive turret	40 maximum	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Lightweight turret	25 maximum	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	TF 2 machine gun	150 maximum	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes

The tools

There are a lot of tools in Worms W.M.D., but most are harmless. We just listed the torches because well. After all. Why not?

	Tools	Damage	Gravity	Wind	Magnetics	Craft
	Torch	10 per shot	Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope
	Advanced torch	10 per shot	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
	Drilling kit	10 per shot	Nope	Nope	Nope	Yes
