Hints and Tips |
Max Damage |
Bazooka |
F1 Aim with the up and down arrow keys and press and hold down space for as much power as you want for the launch. The rocket will explode on hit and is affected by both gravity and wind. That is, ALWAYS check the wind before firing with this! |
The Bazooka has many uses. The standard may be just to shoot to make damage and in such cases it's much better to do 50 pts on each hit isn't it? Just aim a little higher than your target and don't hold space to max power, just about 3/4 and in most cases the hit will be more exact. Although this needs much training before you can rely on it. Bazookas can also be used to throw worms into the water
and do more damage than other weaps like shotgun if it doesn't works out like planned. And always remember to calculate the wind and maybe you'll be able to hit worms at hard places. |
50 |
Homing Missile |
F1 x 2 Set the target mark by moving the mouse and when at desired place, click left mouse button. Now aim with the up and down keys and push and hold down space for the amount of power you want for the shootaway. |
Use about the same tactics as bazooka. The most common way of hitting your target is to aim straight up and shoot with full power. Can go underwater. A tip from Worms2.com: Use the Homing missile on a nearby worm when you're hanging from a rope to hit for sure. |
50 |
Mortar |
F1 x 3 Aim with the up and down keys and then push space to shoot away in full power. The mortar rocket will explode and throw out clusters on hit. |
Don't just shoot at a nearby worm and think that all the clusters will go off at the same place, thats quite impossible. It CAN work if you stand lower than the target worm and you aim about 45 degrees upwards. Anyway, this is the best way to use it: 1. walk up on an enemy worm and choose the ninja rope 2. Aim straight up, attach the rope (ceiling required)
and reel in a little bit 3. Now choose the mortar and hit Enter. Boom. If you did it right the clusters will go off at the same place, doing a lot of damage. |
30 for explosion + 30 x 5 clusters |
Homing Pigeon |
F1 x 4 Move the pointer wit the mouse and mark your target with a X. Then press space and the pigeon will (hopefully) find its target by itself. however if it doesn't, it will explode after some time. |
No real tactics required for this, it's just to mark the target and shoot away, as it will find it's own way. It's the ordinary: Throw worms in water, Do damage - better on crowds of worms. But don't shoot at hopeless targets in enclosed caves etc. |
75 |
Grenade |
F2 Use the up and down keys to aim. Set bounce to MAX or MIN with the + and - keys, and fuse to 1-5 secs with the same number keys. then press space to throw (the longer you hold down space, the more powerful throw). The grenade is affected by gravity and will explode when the timer reaches 0. |
It's harder to do the full 50 point hit with this than with the bazooka, but grenade has many other capabilities which complements that. If a worm stands in a kind of U-shaped place it's best to set timer to 4-5 secs, maybe max bounce, and add little more strenght to the throw. Also useful for blowing worms into the drink. If you want a sure hit, aim straight down and just drop the grenade on a worm's head and run for it. Remember to have 5 sec fuse or something in such cases. |
50 |
Cluster Bomb |
F2 x 2 Use the up and down keys to aim. Set bounce to MAX or MIN with the + and - keys, and fuse to 1-5 seconds with the same number keys. then press space to throw (the longer you hold down space, the more powerful throw). The clusterbomb is affected by gravity and it will blow and throw out clusters when the fuse is out. |
Before the patch, you could cluster-abuse kill worms easy with this, but that's not how it works now. Neither the "putting clusters into solid ground" like you could do in W1, works now. Use on worms in enclosed places and on crowds. |
30 for explosion + 30 x 5 clusters |
Banana Bomb |
F2 x 3 Use the up and down keys to aim. Set fuse to 1-5 secs with the same number keys. then press space to throw (the longer you hold down space, the more powerful throw). When the timer reaches zero, the Bananabomb will explode and throw out devastating bananas. Affected by gravity. |
The Banana bomb must be (at least) one of the best weapon in Worms 2. Use the Cluster tactics if you want, but often it's just to throw it to your soon-to-be-ex worm enemies. |
75 for explosion + 75 x 5 bananas |
Homing Cluster |
F2 x 4 Mark the target by moving the mouse and then press the left mouse button. Use the up and down keys to aim. Set bounce to MAX or MIN with the + and - keys, and fuse to 1-5 secs with the same number keys. then press space to throw (the longer you hold down space, the more powerful throw). When the fuse is out, the
homingcluster bomb will explode and throw out homing clusters which will home in on the target. |
This is how you get a perfect hit: mark your target and set fuse to 1 sec. Throw the grenade so it will be straight above the target when it explodes. If everything works, all the clusters will home straight down to the worm and all will explode on the same place, 'nuff said. |
30 for explosion + 30 x 5 homing clusters |
Shotgun |
F3 Aim with the up and down keys and then simply push space to shoot. Note: The Shotgun provides you two shots, and the ability to move and jump around in the landscape before the second. |
Good for picking off low health worms, altering the terrain, doing it more walk and run-able, or alternatly push worms into water (point on the head rather than the ground it's standing on, the later will just make it fall down into safety in the hole created there). If you stand close to your enemy, use this rather than the bazooka to make 50 pts damage, as it's quite easy to get the 25 pt hit both times. |
25 x 2 shots |
Hand Gun |
F3 x 2 Aim with the up and down keys and then simply push space to shoot. The Handgun will then fire six shots in a row, with a moment of pause before each. |
Hmmm... what can I say, shots go straighter than uzi's but do less damage. Use when you're standing next to an enemy worm with health 1 and that's the only enemy left. Or you can always use uzi tactics, but then the uzi's much better. |
5 x 6 shots |
Uzi |
F3 x 3 Aim with the up and down keys and then simply push space to shoot. The uzi will fire a burst of ten bullets which spread out on long ranges. |
Use when a worm stands against a wall or cavity so that the worm will remain there and all shots will hit. Not good for long range as shots will spread out. |
5 x 10 bullets |
Minigun |
F3 x 4 Aim with the up and down keys and then simply push space to shoot. The mingun will fire a burst of twenty bullets which spread out even more than the uzi. |
Use same tactics as uzi as this weapon works just like it. |
5 x 20 bullets |
