History

Created by Goom April 2019, with much help from Auto, GreeN, KRD, Schaf, Deadcode, and others.
Objective was making hybridization of Walk for Weapons's concept, Team17's positioning, and Hysteria's row simplicity.

Similar ideas

The idea of the worms being specialized in determined weapons/F-keys already existed as a WWP Wormpot called "Specialist Worm mode", as a 2009 scheme called "Special War" released by Zed, as a PX scheme released in 2011 by WoSC community (posted by DumbBongChow) called "Specialists", as a 2016 scheme released by STRGRN called "Specialists" too and as a scheme released on 2nd April 2019 by Kradie called "Lucky Strike". In 2020 KRD released Alt-F4.
