More / new weapons?

[```skunk3```]

I was just wondering when we might be able to see more weapons to be featured in the game?

I read that this title is supposed to have over 80 weapons and utilities, yet when looking at gameplay footage, it appears as though the inventory screen is only 5 items wide and 7 items long, not including the still unexplained stuff at the bottom. (Which reminds me of materia slots from Final Fantasy VII!)

Not counting those slots, that's less than half of the arsenal promised. I assume we have just been seeing footage from incomplete builds without the full roster, yes?

Jonno hinted in the Worms Guild Facebook group that there's lots of stuff we haven't seen yet... I'm getting antsy!

Yesterday, they said that they probably show a new weapon next weekend: https://twitter.com/WormsTeam17/status/724644189477052416

yea i read it too and it says THIS weekend not the next to correct you...

also what skunk3 mentioned i am also curious what are those slots on the bottom

[Condemor]

Well, the next weekend is this one, starting in 3-4 days xD

I'll bet those slots at the bottom are some kind of modifier that change the way weapons work/ projectiles behave, thus the armory diversity.

I doubt thats the case ...but it would be Interesting To have such thing implemented.

Can't find the interview but I seem to recall Danny (was it Danny?) saying that there isn't that many actual different weapons--in response to the question about biggest weapon roster to date--but that there is biggest variety in ?ways to deal damage?

You get the general idea. The interview was recent.

edit: found it:

"An unannounced mechanic that puts a twist on weapons and how you use them", watch the next question as well!

I am certain that there is some kind of "twist" to existing weapons that account for the said variety. Note how the Team 17 representative says that on the surface they've "dialed down" the ?weapon variety? but that they've "... covered quite a few bases with the weapons set" and which is "hard to describe" (without annoucing the undisclosed "twist" I assume) unless it's inherently hard to describe which... well it doesn't make sense does it? I doubt we're seeing an unfinished (smaller) version of the weapon menu in these builds because even so there's gameplay videos with empty slots etc.

Hey all,

So there is a slightly expanded weapon menu to what you've seen already...and that's only the start ;)

I'll be revealing a brand new weapon to the Worms franchise & W.M.D across our social channels on Saturday!

Well I'll be damned... Thanks Jonno! :*

No worries!

I wish that I knew the release date so I could just forget about this for a while instead of hoping for a morsel of news every day. ;\

I really hope that the weapon / utility count of over 80 doesn't include tanks, mounted guns, or slight variants of already-existing weapons, like having weapons with different skins or whatever.

[Metal-M]

wow the new weapon is interesting a freakin lightning-chain!
