 Homing Missile
| |
|---|---|
| Type: | Projectile/Homing |
| Keyboard selection: | F1 (x2) |
| Standard effects: | 50hp injury (max.), Small circular crater |
| Present in: | Worms, Worms DC, Worms 2, W:A, WWP |
|
The Homing Missile is launched like a Bazooka, and homes in on a target selected using the cursor prior to launch. The Homing Missile locks onto the target shortly after it is launched. The attraction is not particularly strong; the Homing Missile will often enter a large arcing path as it approaches the target, and if it does not collide with something, it will begin orbiting the target in an ellipse. The target marker eventually disappears and the attraction ends, leaving the Homing Missile to ordinary projectile motion.
