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

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

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

industrial electromagnet
worm select

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

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

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
