I'm currently going for the secret "Shop-a-holic"-achievement in Worms Ultimate Mayhem that requires (amongst other things) beating the death match times of Team17. I'm stuck at death match challenge #9. I always need 11-12 minutes to finish the level instead of the required 10 minutes - it's really frustrating.

Has anyone already beaten it and can share some tips?

Remembering from Worms 4, all you can do is playing until you do it. I consider it a great stupidity that the game also counts the time the AI uses, so if you do it or not depends on the AIs actions a lot.

As for tips, try poisoning as many worms in as few turns as possible. That's helped a lot.

As Thurbo says, poison as many worms as you can and then put your worms close to enemy worms, you will see IA will attack your worms and his worms too.

Good luck

Sorry for my english :P

I'm on the same page as you now, cannot do 9. Done the rest.

Thanks for your tips. I'll give this another try tomorrow. Feel free to add more tips in the meantime ;)

The 'poison all worms' tip is pretty crap (no offense) because you aren't equipt with any poison weapons and you dont have the ninja rope to pull in toxic barrels...

The 'poisen all worms' tip is pretty crap (no offense) because you aren't equipt with any poisen weapons and you dont have the ninja rope to pull in toxic barrels...

Yes you have, you've got 3 poisoned arrows...

Maybe you have to play again that mission, you have Poison Arrow (3) and Gas Canister (1).

Sure you don't have a ninja rope to pull the barrels but you can use Baseball Bat to put your enemys close to the barrels, in fact my first kill in mission 9 is a worm near a barrel and a mine

Hey, I just managed to beat #9 :D

Just unlocked the last achievement in Worms Ultimate Mayhem!

Purchase the Kitchen Sink game style


Tips for #9:
- First turn: Kill the Worm next to the campfire by firepunching him into the mine + barrel. This will also cause another enemy Worm to get poisoned.
- Second turn: Jetpack to the roof (on the right) and baseballbat the Worm on top into the water (this is a bit tricky you need the right position)
- Next few turns: Poison enemy Worms with poison arrows. Shoot a bazooka at the enemy Worm sitting on top of the left building.
- Once their health dropps make use of the Mad Cows and try to kill 3 Worms with them.
- Kill the remaining Worms with Shotgun.

Hope that helps.

I didn't have any problems with #10. Just try to throw as many enemy Worms as possible into the water / into mines and barrels.

Good Luck!

Not sure why i didn't see the crossbow.

I just had the BIGGEST stroke of luck! An enemy worm picked up a mystery crate and it poisened all the enemy worms, then the turn after that one enemy worm killed another enemy work with a holy hand grenade. WIN. Achievement unlocked.
