Poison Arrow

Choke on this! The  is a ranged attrition-damage weapon added as part of Worms 4: Mayhem. The arrow is tipped with a canister of noxious vapors that bursts when it collides with a solid object (Terrain, Barrel, or Worm) poisoning any worms that happen to be nearby. Like all poison-based damage, the poison lingers indefinitely, whittling away 3 HP on every turn (Both on yours and your enemies') until the victim or victims are reduced to a single point of health.

Health Packs will cure poisoning in addition to adding their prescribed amount of HP.

Use
Select the Poison Arrow from the weapons menu. Using the left and right arrows to face their respective directions, and use the up and down arrows to adjust the firing angle. Press and hold the space-bar to charge your shot, and release the spacebar to fire.  CAUTION:  This weapon can poison friendly worms!
