Award-winning veteran games developer and international games label Team17 has today unveiled a brand new crafting system for its forthcoming Worms WMD which is heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC later this year.
Worms WMD will feature 35 different utilities and weapons within the game but for the first time ever players will be able to expand this number to over eighty with the addition of crafting, another brand new feature for Worms WMD which joins the previously announced new features of vehicles and buildings.
Players will start the game with a specific amount of crafting ingredients, depending on which game scheme is chosen. Or none at all if they choose the Classic scheme! Further ingredients can then be collected from crafting crates or scavenged by dismantling existing weapons. Can’t reach the enemy worm and you’ve only got a Baseball Bat? Dismantle it and craft a grenade!
Weapons and utilities can be crafted during the player’s turn or even in between turns during online play, as the opposing teams take their turns. Crafting really expands the weapon set and adds in many brand new fun weapons including the Party Balloon, Luzi, Electric Sheep, Sticky Grenade and Concrete Angry Donkey to name but a few.
