REACHING utilities
various utilities for traversing the terrain; teleport, blowtorches and girders end your turn; all others don’t
| ninja rope | shots a hook and attaches your worm to a wall or ceiling, swinging on a rope; can be swinged multiple times depending on game setting; a special technique exists allowing the rope to make a full round upwards, thus can be used to climb cliffs or launch your worm into air |
| ninja rope pro | |
| newbie rope | |
| parachute | allows slowly flying downwards and sideways; allows dropping weapons during flight; affected by wind |
| combat parachute | is not affected by wind |
| party balloon | allows flying upwards and sideways; weapons can be used while flying; heavily affected by wind |
| jetpack | allows flying through the map and dropping throwables or explosives from above; can be combined with parachute or ninja rope; can have variable amount of fuel depending on game setting |
| jetpack eco | half the fuel consumption |
| teleport | instantly teleport your worm to any part of the map; ends your turn |
| safe teleport | does not end your turn after teleporting, but you cannot change your weapon after that; 10 seconds remaining |
| blowtorch | direction can be changed while active, in multiples of 45 degrees; you lose your turn if drilling upwards or when there is no terrain to drill; can damage worms even from beneath through the terrain if close enough |
| full blowtorch | drills longer tunnels |
| tunnel kit | same as blowtorch, but allows to stop drilling, walk, and drill again; total 3 charges, but ? half as long |
| girder | a piece of structure that can be placed somewhere in air; rotates in multiples of 45 degrees and has short and long version; protects your worm from weapons, from being reached or used to block other worms inside their covers; can be distance-restricted depending on game setting; can be placed while your worm is mid-air, say, after roping |
| girder girth | longer and bigger version of girder |
STRATEGIC utilities
various items for defense

| sentry gun lite | |
| TF1 sentry gun | |
| mischievous drone | allows gathering crates and medkits; ?? can fly underwater; does not end your turn |
| SG magnetic drone | same as mischievous, but also has properties of repelling or attracting magnet; can be used to either get multiple mines out of your way or to gather them and drop on the hostile worms! flies longer; ends your turn! |
| electromagnet | either attracts or repels all metallic weapons, tools and shells (bazookas, mines) |
| industrial electromagnet | |
| worm select | allows to switch to another worm amidst your already ongoing turn; use <Tab> key; does not end your turn |
| worm select adv. | |
| kamikaze | launches your worm at any direction in multiples of 45 degrees; the worm damages other worms on impact, and explodes at end of his trajectory |
| skip go | do nothing |
MISSING weapons
from previous versions
| grenade | Worms Armageddon | throwables allowed setting bouncing amount, either <+> or <->, effectively turning grenades into rubber balls which can bounce off from ground and reach otherwise impossible paths |
| dragon ball | Worms Armageddon | a firepunch which can be launched over a short distance towards an enemy worm, including being mid-air; very effective if used over small cliffs separating you from the opponent, especially during late match stages |
| ninja rope | Worms Reinforcements | rope was not affected by terrain collisions, thus allowing for longer swings and roundabouts |
| bungee | Worms Reinforcements | like ninja rope, but allows only to swing downwards from a cliff; was replaced with a parachute which allowed to fly away from cliffs, covering large distances |
| pneumatic drill | Worms Reinforcements | like blowtorch, but allowed drilling terrain downwards; can be used to drop on top of a hostile worm through the terrain; later both function replaced with blowtorch; technically, could be used as a variant of parachute, bcuz activating the drill right before impact with the ground prevented the fall damage |
| mole bomb | Worms Armageddon | airstrike weapon; moles start digging the terrain in random directions, leaving scorched earth afterwards; exploding on worm impact |
| ferrets | Worms Reloaded | walking weapon; 3 creatures walk by the wall in chosen direction, exploding on impact with a hostile worm |
| kamikaze | Worms Armageddon | current physics-based kamikaze version is almost useless and rarely does what it was capable of previously |
