The Basics
Worms W.M.D is a 2D artillery turn-based strategy game created by Team17. It was first released on 23/8/2016 and is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
This game features several new features to Worms.
Mounted Guns – Non-movable weapons that can spawn on the landscape. They come in a variety of designs, ammo and firepower.
Vehicles – Moving motorised mayhem that can spawn on the battlefield or be dropped in from the sky.
Crafting – Collect ingredients from a Craft Crate and then build whatever weapon your heart desires. This takes a whole turn, though. You can also dismantle any existing weapons you have to get some necessary produce!
Buildings – Extra terrain hidden behind a wall, only revealing once you’ve moved inside it. Find some crates, take a tactical time-out or refuge from enemies!
Crafted Weapons – Various weapon upgrades are available exclusively via crafting. See what you can use them for!
