Prod

"Prod - Sarcasm personified in a move"

- Team 17s description of the weapon.

The prod is a weapon that pokes the enemy worm for a very short length, debuting in Worms 2. For most common it is used to push an enemy worm over an edge, usually to the water. You can also push a worm over a ledge so he falls to the ground, in order to kill a weak worm, especially if there are mines over said edge. This is the most sarcastic way to kill an enemy, and is considered poetic justice if you cross half the map to prod your opponent off the map rather than just throw your last Holy Hand Grenade. Prod didn't appear in the first Worms game and Worms Forts.

The icon of Prod is represented by a hand of worm, ready to poke his/her opponent.

Usage

 * The victim does not have to be standing on the very edge for the prod to work. The advantage to using a prod is that there is no risk of collateral damage. Be sure however that the prod range can be shorter than you except.
 * A danger is that if you are standing slightly above the intended victim, you may prod right over his head, missing him and wasting your turn.
 * Best way to use this weapon is to poke worms very close to water due to the drowning insta-kill.

Tips

 * If there are a trio of worms lined up right below each other with some distance ahead from one to the other, you can prod the one on top and it will send a chain reaction through the entire trio and hopefully could push all three of them into the water (or wherever you are aiming for).
 * A dirty way to cheat in Worms 2, according to Team 17, is to set the Prod to 100 damage value in the Weapon Editor (while not telling anyone) and on the match letting the Killer Prod loose. With damage value on 100, this weapon does extreme damage, more than over 80% of the weapons.
