So the Drill is not currently in Worms W.M.D - I spoke to the Developers and got some reasoning for you:
"It's not in. Because one of our aims was to keep the weapon set down, we took the drill out but gave the blowtorch a new angle facing all the way down."
"The extra angle on the blowtorch is supposed to make up for lack of drills."
Now that's not to say the drill is RIP. Whilst we have no plans to implement the drill in Worms W.M.D at this time it doesn't mean we won't add it to the game in the future if we feel it will add something to the game.
Typical, the thing I was looking forward to most, is taken away from the game
Such is life...
Really do hope you guys manage to save the drill, or at the very least add it sometime soon after release, I could live with that
While there are a few people who won't appreciate Darts on Worms Armageddon, it is a somewhat popular scheme, it was the most played scheme in TUS Free League since it was introduced, people enjoyed it in Worms Olympics, and the dS Community are always finding ways to improve it, and we were discussing taking Darts to WMD and seeing what we can achieve there.
The thing is, Darts only works with drill:
Notice as soon as the worm landed, the player pressed space to stop the drill(making the worm stop where it touched), it takes practise to do it but it's an important tactic in some maps.
If there is another weapon that can achieve this, anything you can toss from a rope that will stick to wherever it touches in a similar way, let me know?
