(Up to Schemes)
Walk For Weapons (abbreviated WFW, not to be confused with W4W) is a strategy scheme played by members of the Worms Armageddon community. The concept was devised by Squiffel, as is stated on the first-ever Walk For Weapons map.
The scheme given below is the tournament scheme used for the latest WFW tournament, as of writing this text. A sudden death time was added to avoid extremely long games that may cause long waiting time for other competitors.

Objective
- Kill all of the opponents' worms.
Standard rules
- A player may only fire a weapon or utility corresponding to the image depicted in a box to which their currently-active worm is directly adjacent. Many players require that the worm be on top of the box before firing instead. It is unknown what percentage of the community accepts either variation of the rule as standard.
- As an exception to the above rule, a player may fire a weapon or utility corresponding to the image depicted in a box to which a worm adjacent to the currently active worm is adjacent. For example, if Worm 1 is touching a bazooka box and Worm 2 is touching Worm 1, Worm 2 may fire a bazooka, even if Worm 2 isn't touching a bazooka box.
- Another exception to the first rule is that the currently-active worm may use the weapon depicted in a box it has jumped away from before its first landing. For example, if Worm 1 is standing on a dragon ball box, it is legal to perform a backflip from the box and fire a dragon ball in mid-backflip, hitting a worm standing on a higher platform.
- Some maps have special rules regarding specific weapons. These rules are outlined in text on the map, and must be followed.
- There is currently no standard penalty for breaking a rule, so players must decide among each other what the penalty should be. A discussion in #worms could be held regarding this topic, and players could agree on a standard decision regarding this, to replace this text.
Extra information
Walk For Weapons maps are obtainable from the Worms Map Database. Note that not all WFW maps will be totally playable with the standard scheme. Some may require weapon additions for the entire map to work properly, considering weapon boxes with weapons nonexistent in the standard scheme.
