Gas Canister

The  is a hand-thrown poison weapon introduced in Worms 3D. It consists of an orange, roughly-spherical orb with small canisters protruding from its surface. In most respects, it handles just like an ordinary Grenade; the fuse can be set between 1 and 5 seconds, and the player charges their shot to throw it. However, rather than exploding when its fuse is up, the Canister bursts and releases a cloud of toxic green vapors, poisoning enemy (and friendly) worms in the radius. Note that although it appears to leave a trail of gas behind it worms will not be affected by this, only the plume of gas that occurs after the fuse has ended will poison worms.

Using the Gas Canister
 CAUTION:  This weapon can poison worms on your team.
 * (Xbox) Use the White button to cycle through the Grenade Fuse settings; use the left thumbstick to turn to face the direction you want to throw, and use the right thumbstick to adjust the angle of your shot. Press and hold A to charge, and release A to throw the canister.
 * (PS2) Use L2 button to cycle through the fuse setting; use the left analog stick to aim, press and hold the X button to charge, and release X to throw the canister.

Tips & Tricks

 * If the Wormpot setting is set to "Vampire Worm" using poisonous weapons like Gas Canister and Poison Arrow, your vampire worm will gain health overtime from all worms poisoned by him until they are cured.
