Top 10 Most Destructive Weapons In Worms Games

Cows - long have they been used for catapult ammunition and alien probing experiments. And thanks to the worms, they’re also being utilized in air strikes. Should you get your hands on a Bovine Blitz, you’ll be able to call in a plane and rain explosive cows upon your foes! However, the user will have to keep the wind speed in mind as it can easily alter the trajectory of the cows. Their air time may be brief, but if the wind is strong enough, you can easily miss your target!

Because nothing is more spiteful than sacrificing a worm to inflict damage! The Kamikaze turns your worm into a sacrificial explosive, sending them charging in your set direction and damaging anything in its path before exploding. Admittedly, it is more destructive to the user as it inflicts up to 30 damage but sets the user back one whole unit. The best time to use it is if your opponents have units lined up. Otherwise, this is nothing more than a tool to show just how salty you really are!

The Banana Bomb is one of the most lethal grenades across the “Worms” franchise on account of it being a more powerful Cluster Grenade. However, what if there was a Cluster Grenade that spawned Cluster Grenades? Well, that’s where the Super Banana Bomb comes in! The Super Banana Bomb is like a brief popcorn factory, spawning explosive bananas upon detonation that explode into more bananas. Not only is it a great way to pepper your enemies and turn the stage into swiss cheese, but it’s also an excellent source of potassium!

The name makes this weapon sound like a slab of meat dishing out boxing moves, but this could not be further from the truth. When a player activates the Fatkins Strike, a morbidly obese man falls out of a helicopter and bounces onto the battlefield. With each bounce, the Fatkins triggers an explosion leaving a massive crater in the ground, and it does so in an unpredictable manner. How long will the explosions continue? Where will his bounces take him? Who can say, but we hope he gets home safely.

We know EXACTLY what you’re thinking - yes, this is the same Holy Hand Grenade used by King Arthur and his knights. Well...at least they did according to Monty Python. Luckily, you don’t need a couple of monks reminding you how to use it. Simply throw it, enjoy a holy cheer, and watch your foes launch to the heavens. Because of this weapon’s legacy and lethality, it has become an iconic object for both Monty Python AND the “Worms” franchise. The only way they could have made this better is if they turned that rabbit into a weapon as well!

Not all weapons cause physical destruction - others can cause emotional or psychological damage such as the antagonizing Prod. This tool is nothing more than a finger you use to gently push your victims off of cliffs. Poke them into a mine, some fire, or even shove them off the edge of the stage, sending them to a watery death. Needless to say, the Prod should be used with extreme caution as it wields the potential to destroy friendships. Hey, you’d be steamed too if one of your worms died because of a simple poke!

It’s been known under a handful of names - the Indian Nuclear Test, the Flood, but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll refer to it as the Nuclear Bomb. This penultimate weapon of mass destruction has functioned in different ways across the “Worms” series since its introduction in “Worms: The Director’s Cut”. Some games treat it as a standard nuke whereas others have wrought havoc by causing a massive flood or even poisoning every worm on the battlefield - or even both! What better way to show off your spite and pettiness than by drowning EVERYBODY’s worms?

It may be called “Buffalo of Lies”, but its destruction is most certainly real! Once released from your grasp, these chaotic cattle explode in front of whatever they charge into. Enemy worms, crates, petroleum barrels, terrain - nothing can stop the Buffalo of Lies! Thankfully, its devastation doesn’t last forever as it’s only capable of charging into things six times. Even so, the carnage feels like it lasts an eternity, and if you aren’t careful, it could cause one of your own worms to be eliminated. So, unleash the buffalo with extreme caution!

Unlike the Buffalo of Lies, the Concrete Donkey is a bit more predictable while being just as destructive. When deployed, a massive donkey statue drops from the sky and destroys EVERYTHING in its way! However, slopes can alter its path and send it off the battlefield or closer to one of your worms. Keep in mind that the Concrete Donkey will expire after a certain period of time, but more often than not, it’ll hit the water before reaching its limit. Just make sure you’re far away from where you’re deploying it.

Before we reveal the deadliest, most destructive top pick, here are a few Honorable Mentions…

The Mine’s Louder Big Brother

Okay, Team17, We See What You Did There...

Can’t Wreak Havoc Without the Saints!

Probably the Most Expensive Explosive You’ll Ever Detonate

It is the “be-all and end-all” of a worm’s arsenal, the pinnacle of catastrophe, mayhem, and doom! It is...WORMAGEDDON! If you felt the regular Armageddon could use a few more meteors, this is the super weapon for you. Calling this in will trigger a massive storm of meteors, decimating most of the battlefield and most likely taking out more than half of everyone’s worms. Very rarely may one see it in a game of “Worms W.M.D.”, but if you ever get the chance to use it, do it for victory, for love, for honor!
