IT'S TIME FOR ARMAGEDDON...
INTRODUCTION
Worms Armageddon is a single or multiplayer game that blends no-holds-barred action, strategy and sheer outrageous fortune. Meaning, you can play for 20 minutes or 20 hours.
No game of Worms Armageddon is ever the same, making it endlessly entertaining. Up to four teams can battle it out, making it the ideal party game. It doesn't matter how you play it - once you're hooked, you'll always come back for more!
OVERVIEW
Worms Armageddon is a turn-based strategy game, where teams battle across bizarre, randomly generated landscapes or finely crafted custom-designed levels. Each team takes a turn to pick off the opposing teams, using crazy weapons, tools and other utilities they may have discovered to inflict whatever foul strategies they can conjure.
Worms die when they lose all of their energy or drown in the murky depths. The winning team is the one that manages to survive the mayhem and have Worms left standing!
TURN-BASED SYSTEM
Players have a set time in which to make a move before the game automatically switches to the next team.
During this period, you can select which Worm to use (unless you only have one Worm or are playing with Worm Select disabled - see "Worm Select Mode" in the CREATE A NEW GAME chapter) and either let its arsenal loose on the enemy or move the Worm into safer territory.
TIME
In addition to the time limit for each turn (an option that you can change), each battle has an overall time limit before "Sudden Death" extra time is called.
Sudden Death takes on several forms depending on the scheme you have set (see "Game Schemes" in the CREATE A NEW GAME chapter), including having the water level gradually rise, making high territory even more strategic, having all Worms energy reduced to 1 or having their energy gradually drain over time.
LANDSCAPES
Each time you play Worms Armageddon, the game is completely different. Worms and mines are randomly placed on billions of possible landscapes, providing you with endless playing opportunities.
WORMS AND WEAPONS
Each team of Worms has an arsenal of devastating weapons at their disposal. Some of these weapons will be limited in supply so you will have to use strategy to achieve maximum carnage.
There are a wide variety of weapons available. For full details about weapons and their usage, see the "Weapon Usage" section later in this manual.
UTILITIES
These add a whole new element to Worms Armageddon. Utility crates drop from the sky, offering features to enhance the player's turn. Some are added to your arsenal, while some are used from the moment they are collected.
STRATEGY
Worms Armageddon can be played in many different ways. Some players opt for wanton destruction, while others play it safe, and there are those who are so underhanded that they have vengeance wreaked upon them at every opportunity!
Those who resort to hiding their Worms away and playing a very defensive game have turned to the "Dark Side" of Worms playing and must be slain, so keep on your toes and tails!
You will have to adapt your strategy to the weapons available, the landscape you're playing on and to each new opponent you play. Worms Armageddon allows for even more strategy than before in that each team can now select a special weapon to take into battle. The selection of this weapon or utility can seriously affect the potential outcome, so do choose wisely!
ON YOUR OWN...
Worms Armageddon features Single Player Missions for the lone player, pitting your skills against crack computer teams and a variety of intriguing training games, where you can practice key skills and gain rankings, medals and some other goodies for extra-special performances. (See the "Single Player Menu" section for more information.)

Items & Weapons
SCALES OF JUSTICE
This equalizer combines and balances the energies of all teams in play, redistributing current energy without causing damage.
SELECT WORM
This tool allows you to move a Worm and then reselect another of your team for movement, offering strategic opportunities.
SHEEP
A fluffy friend that runs towards the enemy and detonates upon your whim, acting with the effectiveness of Dynamite and the dexterity of a four-legged mammal.
SHEEP LAUNCHER
This launcher propels Sheep to new heights over barricades, and the launched Sheep acts like a regular Sheep but wears a crash helmet.
SHEEP STRIKE
Fired like an Air Strike, this powerful strike releases numerous Sheep that tear to the ground, making it an incredibly dangerous weapon.
SHOTGUN
A wide-gauge, double-barrel shotgun great for picking off Worms at long range, offering two shots per turn.
CRATES
Different crates (Weapon, Health, Utility) drop or teleport into the play-field, containing goodies that can change the game's fate and can be collected by land-roaming weapons or shot.
WEAPON CRATES
These crates usually contain more powerful weapons or weapons initially in limited supply, sometimes even super 'hidden' weapons.
HEALTH CRATES
These crates offer a source of topping up energy levels and an antidote to any infection a Worm may have received.
UTILITY CRATES
These crates contain utilities to help in various ways, either collectible types that can be stored or instant utilities that activate immediately upon collection.
UTILITIES
These special powers, collected from Utility Crates, appear in the weapons panel and are activated like weapons, with relevant icons displayed onscreen when in use.
FAST-WALK
A collectible utility that lasts for one turn, allowing Worms to walk much quicker, excellent for long assaults and critical attacks.
LASER TARGET
A collectible utility that enables a Laser Sight on specific weapons for five turns, making it easier to judge shots.
LOW GRAVITY
A collectible utility that makes all shots and movements susceptible to Low Gravity, resulting in super-long jumps and more.
JET PACK
A collectible utility useful for reaching distant shores or flying to drop Dynamite, controlled with directional buttons for vertical and rear thrusters.
DOUBLE TIME
An instant effect utility that immediately doubles the amount of time remaining on the current turn.
CRATE SHOWER

CRATE SPY
An instant effect utility that lasts until the end of the round, allowing the team to reveal the contents of any crates around the landscape.
DOUBLE DAMAGE
An instant effect utility that lasts for a single turn and delivers double damage to any explosion that occurs, to be used with caution.
Tips & Maps
Experts can drop weapons
Experts can drop weapons (usually Dynamite or exploding Sheep) while swinging through the air. Press the JUMP 1 button to drop the current weapon.
Swing, let go, fire the rope again
You can swing, let go, fire the rope again while in mid-air, swing and repeat, covering huge distances quickly! Be warned as this is a very tricky technique and works best in spacious caverns.
NUCLEAR TEST
This powerful underground test bomb will sink the land and cause radioactive fallout to flutter from the heavens, infecting all living Worms. This is a tactical nuclear device if ever there was one. Activate by pressing FIRE.
OLD WOMAN
Press FIRE to set the Old Woman wandering around, complaining about the price of tea and mumbling about the war and the good old days before violently exploding.
PARACHUTE
Since long falls can injure your Worms (which makes you lose your turn), what better than floating to safety using a convenient parachute? Press FIRE to open the parachute. Press FIRE again to close the Parachute, or let it automatically close on landing. As on ropes, weapons can be dropped from parachutes by pressing JUMP 1.
PNEUMATIC DRILL
Press FIRE to dig or to cease digging down. This is useful for gaining access to tunnels that other Worms have made. You can turn into a driller killer by inflicting enemy Worms with 15 points of damage using the Drill.
PROD
Its sarcasm personified in a move. Press FIRE to nudge a Worm and send it to its doom.
SALLY ARMY
Press FIRE to set this God-fearing old lady staggering about the land. Sit back and watch her erupt in an explosion of volatile percussion instruments, or press FIRE a second time to manually detonate her.
