When a target is selected, Concrete Donkey causes massive damage in a large, isolated area. The Donkey will destroy all land beneath it, and all worms caught under it will likely fall into the water or sustain a lot of damage. No wonder this is a super weapon.
The Concrete Donkey is the only first-generation Worms weapon that retains the same basic appearance in the second generation.
Contents
Tips and tactics
- This weapon is considered a counter to worms protected with Freeze, since they have no chance to survive against a Concrete Donkey falling on them on not so big destructable terrains. Even unprotected worms have more chance to survive its power in this scenario.
- As this weapon uses the mouse cursor, it can be used to point something on the map to other players.
Tricks and glitches
- A Concrete Donkey may be fired without aiming.
- It's possible to preselect the Concrete Donkey target in mid-jump.
- While all other Strike weapons are disabled during cavern levels in WormsDC, it is still possible to deploy the Concrete Donkey.
Trivia
- The Concrete Donkey is considered an entity associated with the lighsiders (and the lightsiding gameplay), since it is a weapon that is powerful against darksiders. It contrasts with the Buffalo of Lies (see Terminology for details).
Fan art
- A January 2005 (featured on WMDB) map drawn by Evil Bunny named CDFactory (Concrete Donkey Factory) "explains" the process of making a Concrete Donkey.
