The Homing Pigeon does not have a launching power, unlike the homing missile.
Instead, it launches at a pre-defined speed, and homes in on a target selected using the cursor prior to launch. It does not explode on impact and it is not affected by gravity. In most cases, it finds its target and hits it.
Tactics
- The Homing Pigeon is useful for those homing tasks the homing missile can't take, such as going around objects to reach the target.
- Can be fired from Ninja Rope, Jet Pack, Parachute and Bungee.
Criticisms, Problems and Weaknesses
- It's easy to think that the Homing pigeon will complete any task, but it can't. In some cases, the pigeon will have to take a long complex route to reach its target, and will most likley end up with it hitting the terrain, or the wrong worm.
- It's kind of unpredictible, so you can't train so much to learn how to handle it.
