(Up to Game logic)
The Prod weapon is classed as the utimate insult. It does no damage, and only moves worms a very small distance, so being killed by a Prod will bring shame upon you.
Basic Facts
| Weapon select code | F4 x 4 in Worms 2 or F4 x 5 in Worms Armageddon or Worms World Party |
|---|---|
| Type | Close combat weapon |
| Damage at normal setting (3 stars) | None. Distance pushed increases with power |
Tactics
The Prod is only useful when the target is standing at the very edge of a cliff, as the distance pushed is minimal. It is only worthwhile prodding a worm off of a cliff when he will end up in the water, or onto Mines, or when a Firepunch or Dragonball will not suffice.
Criticisms, Problems and Weaknesses
- The prod is only useful in very specific circumstances when a worm is standing at the very edge of a cliff. As it is very easy to avoid being in this scenario, the weapon is used very little.
- Other weapons will usually suffice in such a scenario, such as the Shotgun, which is normally preferred as it gives the user an additional shot.
- The purpose of the weapon is not serious, and so it is rarely used in serious matches.
- The weapon is close range only, and so using it can leave the user in the same disadvantageous position at the end of a turn.
- The Prod is present in the Amiga version of Worms and in the Directors Cut, however it is a hidden move. You must tap AWAY, AWAY, TOWARDS, TOWARDS to activate it.
