I'm just wondering if anybody has any ideas for new weapons for Worms 5.:)

I thought of one.

Auto Insurance:
Type: Strike
Payload: Car
Max Damage: 100
Delay: 4 turns

Description: This weapon drops a random automobile on our pale pals. The Smartcar does 25 damage, the Honda does 50 damage, the SUV does 75 damage and the eighteen-wheeler does a massive 100 points of damage. The more damage the auto does, the rarer it is though. If you were the see the weapons factory on it, everything (excluding clusters) would be set to full. Though worm damage is even higher.

How about this:
Viking Raid.
Type:Strike
Damage:90 Damage

A big viking ship sails in the air, and drops viking worms, which move and attack the nearest worm. It drops about 3 vikings.

Very Rare though

Ho ho. Funny/original idea kore.

I have one too.

Alien Attack
Damage:80
Type:Strike

A flying saucer comes down and shoots a laser at the enemy worm.It also leaves fire on the ground around the worm.

Vikings, huh? :D
http://linux.gda.pl/pub/spam/Monty_Python-Spam.mpg (33mb)

->Fire breath<-
Damage: 35
A worm blows fire....

->Traitor Arrow<-
Damage: 0
Effect: The worm who gets the arrow will automaticlly attack his teammates in 3 turns.
Cure: Hit him!

Are they good or bad?

I like the idea of the traitor arrow. Would be a good darksider weapon

I like the idea of the traitor arrow. Would be a good darksider weapon
I like when experts says good stuff about my ideas.:D

thanks guys. i thought of one yesterday.....


>The cannibal<
type:strike
Damage: 70%

He comes out at a random time. he's so unpredictible, he can attack you, your team mates or the enemy.:D

(Explosive Marble)
Type:grenade
Damage:90%
Effect:none

It is a small marble that their explotion is the double than the holy hand grenade.:cool:

thats enogh power to kill 2 Wormz!!!! :eek:

Weapons... hmmm.... alright, here is a idea...

Rabid Kitten
Damage: 10 a turn
Strike

A plane flys by a drops a kitten, looking cute at first, it will wonder around a little bit untill a worm is near, then biting and scratching it while the worm gets pushed around, dieing either when 10 turns is up, or he falls into the water. The rabbid kitten then explodes and deals 40 damage to near by worms.

EVIL! :) :) :) :)

nice!

gory avatar but nice!:D

Lessee...

Hypno-Ray
Type: Weapon (or utility?)
When used, the enemy worm that is the closest to the one using it will be hypnotized, and will stay on his side for a few turns.

Boombox + Microphone
Type: Weapon
You can drop a boombox anywhere on the landscape. when you use the microphone, it will be triggered, damaging and paralyzing nearby worms.

And maybe...

Ghost Costume
Type: Utility
When used, the worm will wear a Ghostly costume. he can fly and is able to phase through the landscape. (2D only, i guess)

Traslator:
Type:Utility
This weapon is similar to the jet pack but it doesn´t fly, rather makes you go faster through the land.

thats enogh power to kill 2 Wormz!!!! :eek:
So is Prod if you use it right.

Propaganda
Type: Air strike

Drops leaflets that persuades the worms in the targeted area to join your team. (unless its your own side obviously)

Can only be used once per game in story mode though.



:cool:

Inflatable boat
Type : Utility
Worms can use this to drive on water for 30 secs each turn. A little timer appears at the bottom of the screen. Everyone can use it. If the time ends and the worm is in it, it explodes like the Inflatable Scouser doing 40 damage for enemy team's worm and 20 for the team's worm, who made the boat, when it explodes at coast the worm can stay alive... Automatically explodes after 6 turns. If flood comes, the boat may swim away for itself. Good for landscapes with islands.

i like tha hypno-thingy by geckogirl:D

*Cries* for christ sake guys! read the old threads! I've not read a single weapon here yet that wasn't suggested and turned down due to 100 or more good reasons why it wouldn't work.

if you're going to suggest weapon ideas, look through the old threads to some extent to see that the ideas you have are the EXACT SAME as the ones everyone else has had....or at LEAST put some serious thought into the playability of the weapons before suggesting them.

Really? My auto insurance thing was made up before?

Hehehe.........

Really? My auto insurance thing was made up before?not exactly. the other versions didn't use cars, but it was essentially the same weapon.

How about this one:

Lightsaber
Type:melle
Damage:100

Worms can use it to kill the enemy worms just like in Star Wars

I've seen some really good ideas here.

We all know about the Flood weapon and how much trouble it can cause, but I was thinking, how about this:

Sunstroke
weapon type: Air Strike

this weapon directs the suns "rays" like a magnifying glass. Damage done to worms depends upon proximity to the light beam.

hehe..........If i had that, I could write my name in the ground:D

Chainsaw:
Fairly obvious, but it can do a max of 120. Can be used through Bubble Troubles.
Bunny Attack:
Send out a bunny (just like a sheep ((and you can steer this))) and it will bite the first worm it comes in contact with. After a random amount of turns (if the worm is still living) he becomes a Were-Rabbit (this was inspired by Wallace and Gromit:Curse of the Were-Rabbit). This Were-Rabbit-Worm goes to your side and he is your minion.
Slap:
Think about it. The more advanced prod, not-so-fiery Fire Punch! Except: it's posionous.
I'm really bored, none of these will probably come into Worm's 5.
Akuryou: Don't say anything. I already know they're all retarded.

T-virus

A bomb like that you drop out of a plane and if it hits a grave it will stay a grave for 3 turns then a zombie will come up from the grave which will run and jump after any worm even if you are the master it can bite you and then you turn into one also thay cant use weapons :Cure 4 hits with a shot gun in the head with a shotgun or any but it will take more shots it should be a suden death chosey thay all have 100 hp: how it works the zombie worms are a diferent team then you...

warning only use if you only have one worm left it will be a big hazard even for the master just to let you it not on your side its on the zombie side becuse it can jump higher and run faster at majer pases ...the rest is torn and is unreadable like resident evils notes :eek:

yes yes, how do you make it? im planning to destroy the world!!! muhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!:cool:
(that's why my name is destoyer dumbass)

Shadow priest

Description: A black orb with a shadowy aura coming out of it which turns into a shadow priest and blasts all nearby enemy worms with a beam of dark energy

Holy shower

Description: A mobile phone that calls the worm gods and makes them send a shower of holy energy upon 3 random worms from one of the enemy teams

Hell cannon

Description: A large cannon that blasts fire

there needs to be not only twice if not three times the weapons of any previous worms game in Worms5 but there also needs to be weapon pack for W4mayhem in the interim, i mean for boggy's sake theres less weapons than ever in Mayhem.

but very important is MORE bazooka style guns even if they hardly differ in fire modes, like for instance a multiZooka six small tube strapped together in a wormy fashion that fire almost totally randomly in the general direction you point it, or how about a stikka canno like out of the Incredibles inside the control room they have these wierd black expanding sticky rubber ball cannons that stop the hero, well something like that stick's a worm to the landscape but from range, or just impede his movement.

anyway thats a small rant and some ideas, please mull

YOU DA MAN DOBSON!!!

Those are great bazooka ideas. I think that Team17 should listen to ideas like this if they're going to make a worms 5.

Thanks Goldfox :)
we need lots and lots of people to say things like that so that Team17 have something to listen to, Worms 5 should really be the full wormage i hope they just stuff every weapon proposed on this forum in

That would make the game take up a hundred DVDs and get them sued by every company ever. Also, it would suck.

Frozen Puddle: The worm pours water on the land, and the water freezes. Then, when other worms go on the frozen puddle, they can't walk, and when they jump, they slip on the ice.

Magic Mine: (this is a weapon I made with The Fiddler for WA) This is a mine that detects only crates and weapons. The fuse time is instant, and the damage is high (holy grenade). So you can tail nail a worm, and then put a magic mine near him, and when he'll try to fire, the mine will explode.

1. if the worm can't move on the little frozen puddle then explain to me why they would walk on it....

2. instead of using a mine that can be set off by any bazooka someone shoots near it, why don't we just use a mine that ACTUALLY does something useful? ya know, like explode when a WORM is nearby. :rolleyes:

I would absolutely LOVE having to install the game with 3 DVDs, using up more RAM than any other game I've ever heard of and lagging constantly while attempting to sort through a weapon panel that covers my entire screen plus another 3 screens worth of scrolling to the right! that would be AWESOME!!! :rolleyes:

but very important is MORE bazooka style guns even if they hardly differ in fire modeswhile I don't disagree that the two ideas you came up with are decent ones, I COMPLETELY disagree with the statement quoted. if you make 100 pistols that all shoot different projectiles that do damage varrying between 5-20 damage per bullet then you've just made the exact same weapon 100 times. weapons NEED to be different to a degree that they add something to the game with their use. if half the items in the game are almost identical it just gets annoying to select them all

I made a setting.........

~~{Blood and Gore}~~

its just a setting to make blood and gore so the games more life-like

If you tail nail a worm and put a "magic mine" near him, if he tries to fire, the mine would explode, and he would end his turn...:rolleyes:

If you tail nail a worm and put a "magic mine" near him, if he tries to fire, the mine would explode, and he would end his turn...:rolleyes:yeah, or you could put a dynamite next to him and kill him....ya know? whatever works for you. :rolleyes:

You're very sarcastic, but you get the point across.

If you tail nail a worm and put a "magic mine" near him, if he tries to fire, the mine would explode, and he would end his turn...:rolleyes:
...and free him from the tailnail, which wastes your turn too.

You're very sarcastic, but you get the point across.well, I DO have the definition of sarcasm in my sig for a reason :p

Annnyyyywaaaayyy.....

Does: It sucks out life from a worm and gives it to the user!

Akuryou in my opinion you and people like you are the reason Worms is getting to be a boring repetative slog with loads of uber-dull poison weapons and other Darksider tosh, the game woulden't go slow with more weapons it's just more fun, and 3 DvD's i total bollocks extra guns woulden't lag the game up at all if you do find it's running slow try not playing it on a Sega Brick! try Pc there quite good now. :p

name: hiden mine
like the ordanary mine just you don't see it.it's seen only when a worm puts it there.can be put only by worms.

Yeah i do see your point i have to admit.
it's just the loss of weapons like the molotov, mortar and pistol that gets to me :(
they should only add weapons that are new, but never take away old weapons that where perfectly good

If I understood, Team17 wanted to add the mortar in the weapon panel (see data\Hud\Weapons\pipegun.tga). But I don't think we'll see such a weapon for Worms 4. :(

For the Napalm Strike (or Molotov), it's possible to manage fire... by tweaking... :rolleyes:

And for guns such as uzi... really why did They remove it?

Team17 should keep all Worms Armageddon weapons (maybe excepted Pneumatic Drill and digging utilities...) :D

Yeah i do see your point i have to admit.

Name:VooDoo
Type:Utility
Damage:Enemy worm turning his fellow worms.
You point at an enemy worm,shoot,and he'll turn against his team.

Why not a fake MedKit like Mario Kart´s fake item boxes? :D
Obviously this will do damage to the worms that tries to take it.

Hehe,Here's Mine!

"The ligthsaber Strike"

A plane comes out of nowhere and you can control the plane and it drops ligthsabers! xD!

Damge:99%

*cries* why god? why?

-Cough cough- What are you talking about?

Here's what might b neat.

medicine: utility

heals 50 hit points to user.


So far the game had no healing items u could use save for later.
It'd be great to be able to heal without waiting for a new crate
to appear.

Here's another two! ^_^

Revival Rod
This item is extremely rare, so you must be really lucky if you find one!
This special rod has a pink-colored orb on it. Use it on one of your team members graves and your perished teammate will be revived. There are 3 types of Revival Rods: Small (Gives revived teammate 25% Health) Normal (Gives revived teammate 50% Health) and Large (Gives revived teammate 75% Health)

Cluster Boomerang
You can use this a random amount of times per unit. When the boomerang reaches the target (it's a homing weapon) It drops a few clusters. After that, the item returns to the owner, except when the random maximum amount of throws is reached. then, it will fly off.

Hey, that's kinda a good idea!
The only problem with it though is that a normal resurrected worm can normally be snuffed out with a single bazooka. Especially when it's right next to the worm that resurrected it.

it.....it seems wrong.....but I can't find any faults to it.....god help us the end must be nigh!! :eek:
It seems wrong because it just acts the same as a portable health pack, except that:
1: It requires a worm to be near the worm to be healed
2: It prevents worms from losing that health instantly if the opponent uses an overpowered weapon.

1: It requires a worm to be near the worm to be healed
2: It prevents worms from losing that health instantly if the opponent uses an overpowered weapon.1. yeah, so what? that doesn't effect anything.
2. that part isn't even true. the opponent can just zook anyone who gets revived and they'd be dead or almost dead.

once again I have to say: don't try to look like you know what you're talking about, you don't :p

1. yeah, so what? that doesn't effect anything.
It means that both worms can be hit with one weapon.

2. that part isn't even true. the opponent can just zook anyone who gets revived and they'd be dead or almost dead.
Uhh... what? That sentence is true, but how is it relevant?

once again I have to say: don't try to look like you know what you're talking about, you don't :p
?
I was pointing out how it's different from using a health pack as a weapon.

It means that both worms can be hit with one weapon.how can multiple worms be hit by a revival rod that revives the one dead worm?!

Uhh... what? That sentence is true, but how is it relevant?how is it true? there was no mention of a shield after the resurrection. your point was that the rezz stops someone from being able to kill the worm after they regain the hitpoints, but no it doesn't. it doesn't stop that or even attempt to come close to stopping it at all.

I was pointing out how it's different from using a health pack as a weapon.but it is in no way even close to similar to using a health pack as a weapon except that it restores health. that's like saying a field medic is similar to a veterinarian because they both cure hurt things.

how can multiple worms be hit by a revival rod that revives the one dead worm?!
I didn't say that the rod was the weapon to deal damage to thoe two worms.

how is it true? there was no mention of a shield after the resurrection. your point was that the rezz stops someone from being able to kill the worm after they regain the hitpoints, but no it doesn't. it doesn't stop that or even attempt to come close to stopping it at all.
I meant if the opponent uses the overpowered gun before the worm is revived.
Put it like this:
If a worm with 100hp uses a 50hp medkit, then the worm can be snuffed out in one go with a weapon that can deal over 150 damage.
If a worm with 100hp gets hit by the same weapon, but then gets revived with a 50hp rod after, then it would be left with 50hp at the end.

but it is in no way even close to similar to using a health pack as a weapon except that it restores health. that's like saying a field medic is similar to a veterinarian because they both cure hurt things.
You could only use that comparison of the things it cures were the same things, such as in the case of the rod and medpack.

I didn't say that the rod was the weapon to deal damage to thoe two worms.after reading back to the original statement twice I get what you're trying to say and I completely fail to see how it's at all relevant to anything. there IS a thing called retreat time, and even if not I fail to see how that would be a point that would make the weapon seems "wrong" if anything that's something that would make it better because it helps balance.

I meant if the opponent uses the overpowered gun before the worm is revived.
Put it like this:
If a worm with 100hp uses a 50hp medkit, then the worm can be snuffed out in one go with a weapon that can deal over 150 damage.
If a worm with 100hp gets hit by the same weapon, but then gets revived with a 50hp rod after, then it would be left with 50hp at the end.for one, I'd like to see a weapon that does 150 damage without intentionally setting things up so that it will be. secondly, I fail to see how that would make it seems wrong as well. it's another bit of balancing that does nothing to make it bad or anything close that would make the weapon seem wrong.

You could only use that comparison of the things it cures were the same things, such as in the case of the rod and medpack.fine, brain surgeon and field medic, you get my point regardless.

Weapon: Piano Wire
Type: Stealth
Damage:100

Then strike them from the back, they’ll never know what hit them.

Aku, you misinterpreted me again. When I said:

I meant it like this:

After that, I'm just tired of arguing over something that doesn't matter much.

i got one

UFO ABDUCT

damage:?

info: it will abduct u either poisoning freezing killing or hypnotizing ur worm into killing other worms say when ur worms get hypnotized the colours switch so u wont know ur attacking ur allie. hehe i got this idea from w4m it is in there but it dont kill or freeze u

There are 3 types of Revival Rods: Small (Gives revived teammate 25% Health) Normal (Gives revived teammate 50% Health) and Large (Gives revived teammate 75% Health)



I like the idea of the revival rod, but 3 different types would fill up too much space on weapons menu (when you right-click) so maybe just having one type which heals around 35% would be a pretty good idea.
