Worms Gameboy
Weapons


Unfortunately there are no pictures of the weapons in the weapon menu of Worms GB, but I've tried to recreate the style of it with unantialiased Stencil font text. The weapons work quite like the ones in Worms PC, but yet different, and less advanced. For Example: the Uzi and Shotgun doesn't affect the terrain, you can't set timer on grenade weapons etc.


Bazooka
Homing missile
grenade
cluster bomb
shotgun
uzi
fire punch
dragon ball
dynamite
air strike
teleport
kamikaze
minigun
sheep
banana bomb
skip go
surrender


Weapon How to Use Hints and Tips Max Damage
bazooka Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press and hold down the A-button for as much power as you want for the launch. Affected by gravity. As with all weapons in Worms GB, stay far away from the worm you're counting to hit, if you dont want to get hurt. The throw-away-and-damage radius is VERY large for explosions in Worms GB, remeber that. And also, as with all weapons, it's very hard to get a perfect hit. The clue however, is to hit from high up down on the Worm's head. 50
homing missile Move the pointer with the arrow buttons, press A and a crosshair will appear at the desired target. Then aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press and hold down A for as much power as you want for the launch. Very useful for drowning worms at places near water, specially in the very beginning of the round. just mark the target a bit to the side of the worm in the relative direction, eg. worm to be drowned to the left, mark the target to the right. A way of shooting away the missile so it will most certainly hit is to aim straight up and shoot with as much power as possible. 50
grenade Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press and hold down A for as much power as you want for the throw. After approximately 3 secs the grenade will explode. As said you can't set timer or bounce. Bounce you can live without but time on the fuse is worse. Stay on far distance from the explosion if you dont wanna be hurt/thrown away. Sometimes, like on flat surfaces this do more damage than the cluster bomb. 50
cluster bomb Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press and hold down the A-button for as much power as you want for the throw. After about 3 seconds the cluster bomb will explode and throw out clusters. Note: Very many times the clusters will be throwed to the right. The most powerful weapon in the game if used right. If you throw it to place eg. under a worm or in a small cavity. Then the bombs will go off at one place and do A LOT of damage. As in other Worms games, also useful on crowds of enemy worms. 30 for explosion + 30 x 5 clusters
shotgun Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press A to shoot. Note: you will have two shots, one for each barrel. The shotgun is really a dissapointment in GB Worms. Almost impossible to hit something on long distance. Don't count on it to throw a worm into the water, as most oftenly when hitting, the worm will only fly straight up in the air. 25 points of damage is dreaming, around 15 is more realistic for a hit. Note: The shotgun will not affect the terrain in any way upon hit, no holes, no nothing. 25 x 2 shots
uzi Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press A to shoot a burst of ten shots. It's not enough with an enemy worm standing against a wall for the uzi burst to be successful. As the worm will be thrown up at every hit and many shots will not hit at all, a small roof thingy over the worm is recommended. Note: The uzi along with the shotgun will not affect the terrain in any way upon hit, that is, no holes. 50
fire punch Press A to kick worm butt and jump up. Good for punching worms into the water for sure, and to finish off a 30- health worm safely. 30
dragon ball Press A to launch a dragonball straight forward. The ball will disappear if it hits a worm or solid ground, if it hits a worm, it will kick that away. If it doesn't hit anything, it will also disappear after it has traveled for some time. Works exactly like the Firepunch with the exception that it's a small Dragon Ball that can travel a small distance which does all the hard work. 30
dynamite Simply press A to lay the dynamite on the ground. After 5 secs the dynamite will explode, hopefully not anywhere near you. Run for it! This little sucker's explosion is big! Useful in crowds of two or more worms or, you can always go for a perfect hit on a sole worm: Try to put the dynamite on the worm's head, that's the key. Then it will most likely not fly away when the explosion comes. A cliff to stand on beside the worm can help to get the Dynamite on it's head. 75
airstrike Move the pointer around with the arrow buttons and press A to mark the target. Now, directly the bombs will fall down there, with the mark in the middle of the strike. Good late in the round to finish off low healthers. Also useful on many worms at one place, or altivernately to kick worms standing far away into the water. Although the last may require some precision, as letting all the bombs down on a worm wont throw it anywhere. 30 x 5 bombs
teleport Move the pointer with the arrow buttons and press the A-button to set the place to teleport to, and your worm will be beamed there. Note: you cannot teleport into solid ground. Save this for late in the round when you have no far range weapons and have to be close to your target. Teleporting to high places is a standard rule, another good idea is to teleport away from caves, as you can't do very much from such places. 0
kamikaze Simply (sometimes it's simply and sometimes it just isn't :) press A to make the ultimate sacrifice and give your worm's life for the emperor. The chosen worm will fly fast forward for some seconds and then explode. Use only when you have more worms than your opponent and/or the enemies stand in a row so you will get the most out of the kamikaze. 30 per hit + 50 for explosion
Found in crate:
minigun
Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press A to fire a burst of twenty bullets. Use like the uzi as this works just like it, but, of course more powerful. 75
Found in crate:
sheep
Press A to let the jumping little furry feller out. Press A again to detonate. If the A-button is not pressed a second time, the sheep will automatically explode after a number of seconds. Dynamite tactics should be used for this jumping little feller. It's very good that you can be on distance from your target as the explosion is kinda powerful. 75
Found in crate:
banana bomb
Aim with the up and down arrow buttons and press and hold down A for as much power as you want for the throw. After about 3 secs the banana bomb will explode and throw out bananas. Use cluster tactics and respect the banana bomb, it's five times the pain the dynamite delivers! 75 for explosion + 75 x 5 bananas
skip go Press A to not do anything more this turn. Sometimes just wait and see is good, but most times doing something is better. 0
surrender If you wimpy little pink smudge of a worm can't take it anymore, press A. I never use this so I'm afraid I don't know what it does... if somebody would mail me or something and tell me, I'll write it here... 0
