The Homing Pidgeon is a bird that flies to its target. It is considered to be somewhat better than the Homing Missile because it has the ability to fly around terrain obstructions instead of straight into them. It launches at a pre-defined speed and goes to a target selected using the cursor prior to launch. 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.
- The Homing Pidgeon can not swim, unlike the Homing Missle which can travel underwater.
- It's kind of unpredictible, so you can't train so much to learn how to handle it.
