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

Before this scheme

The idea of the worms being specialized in determined weapons/F-keys already existed as a WWP Wormpot called "Specialist Worm mode", as a text idea wriiten between 2003 to 2008 called Team Wormtress by M3ntal, 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".

After this scheme

In May 2020 KRD released Alt-F4, on 27th October 2020 Kradie released Active Strike.

On 20th February 2022, PestopaxIsYourGod uploaded a scheme named SpecialForces to TUS website with a worm that is the boss according to the rules.
