Fire

Fire is an element that first appeared in Worms: The Director's Cut. Fire is caused by weapons such as the Napalm Strike, Petrol Bomb, Flame Thrower, French Sheep Strike, etc. Fire is also created when a booby-trapped crate is collected (only in Worms 2), or if an Oil Drum is destroyed, which is why your Worms shouldn't stay too close to Oil Drums, because they can cause a lot of damage when destroyed.

Fire usually lasts for only one turn. Some weapons, however, like the Petrol Bomb, cause fires that have much longer duration, lasting a few turns. Touching one flame removes just 3 points of health, but still ends your turn. If you are caught in a large fire and burn for too long, it could be fatal, removing 100 or more points of health.

Tips & Tricks

 * Use fire to your advantage. If an enemy Worm with high health is standing next to an Oil Drum, use a powerful explosive such as Dynamite and the enemy Worm will not only suffer great damage from the Dynamite, but also from the fire caused by the Oil Drum's destruction. The enemy Worm will most certainly die.
 * If small amounts of fire make contact with an Oil Drum, the Oil Drum will turn slightly brighter, becoming hotter and more unstable. If large amounts of fire make contact with the Oil Drum, it will explode, so you can also use a Napalm Strike if an enemy Worm is standing next to an Oil Drum.

Trivia

 * Worms 3D and Worms Forts: Under Siege are currently the only 3D Worms games that feature fire.
