(Up to Schemes)

The Bow and Arrow scheme (or "BnA" as it is more commonly known) is played on specially created landscapes which consist of an almost random placement of dots or small objects. Players are given an infinite amount of Low Gravity and Parachute utilities to move around the landscape, and their weapons only consist of Longbows. In addition, the landscape is littered with instantly detonating random mines that occupy most of the remaining landscape.

Players are required to eliminate the opposing team by shooting the mines or worms to cause devastating chain reactions as the worms and mines fall. Most games contain a large number of casualties in the early stages as worms hit many mines as they fall down the landscape. Later in the game, any worms that have fallen and not drowned will need to use the utilities to climb back up to fire at any remaining worms.

Success in this scheme relies heavily upon accuracy with the bow, being able to manouvre with the parachute, and luck with the initial worm placement.

Variations

  • Some maps have a strip of land across the bottom to prevent any worms from drowning. After a short while, Sudden Death with cause the water to rise, and the strip will dissapear.
  • Some schemes have Teleports drop in crates in order to speed up the climbing process.
