User:Mr. Fataled/Weapons, utilities and power-ups
From Worms Knowledge Base
A new Worms game can't have no new weapons. Or utilites. Or power-ups. Wait, what's the difference?
Well, in original Worms Armageddon, only a few things were called utilites. Now it's everything that not hurts or it's not its general purpose (such as Ninja Rope, Girder, Blowtorch etc).
What about power-ups? Well, they're are basicaly renamed instant use utilites and now they have separate power-up crate, because it was strange for me that one crate type can contain both inventory items and instant use.

Interface problems
Even thought so many weapons and utilites cannot be used in any way, their amount will still be too big for a small panel that we have in Armageddon. I currently have two solutions.
The first one, is a big panel. Yes, it will took a lot of screen space, especially on laptops, but! I have one interesting idea. What if we will divide it not only with "rows", in which you can choose weapons with buttons F1-F12, but also into "columns", in which you can choose weapons by buttons 1-0. You can also press these buttons at the same time to get weapon you need immideantly. It may be even faster than we have now, but again, it would take an insane amount of screen space.
Another one, is creating multiple small menus, between which you can switch. It would free a screen space, but it would take some additional time to switch between them, and also, you need to keep in mind what panel you currently have.
List
Later I' create an article for each of them, but now, I have no time.
Changes in the existing ones
- Laser Sight is no longer a weapon, but rather an option.
- Super Banana Bomb is no longer a weapon, but rather an upgrade for the normal one.
- Now you can set fuse for the Mine, just like with Grenade.

Cheats
There's the ideas that are too simple and boring for turning them into new weapons.
- Army Shotgun - shoots twice after each use. Can make 4 shots in total.
- Battle Bow - has 4 arrows instead of 2.
- Girder Professional Pack - has 8 girders instead of 5.
- Safe Teleport - Teleport that doesn't end your turn.
- Expert Rope - has no angle restrictions even at low power levels, and also its length is two times longer and you can make two times more shots at each power level. At the power level 8, you can, just like with normal Ninja Rope, make infinity shots.
- Aqua/Magma Pack - Jet Pack that can be used underwater/under lava. You'll not even lost your HP.
- Aqua/Magma Sheep - Super Sheep that can be used underwater/under lava.
- Legendary Anciet Axe - lows down enemy worm's HP by 75% instead of 50%.
- Super Banana Bomb - Banana Bomb that can be detonated manually.
