Armageddon

Armageddon (can also be called Meteor Shower because it rains meteors) is a super weapon that first appeared in Worms Armageddon. It is considered a super weapon due to it's effect of mass destruction. It can even reduce a vast landscape into a couple of small islands.

Effect
When the weapon is activated, meteors start falling from the sky. A meteor's explosion radius is as large as a dynamite's explosion radius. It can destroy a landscape with a few meteors. Worms that get caught in the Armageddon are usually exposed worms, but the meteors can also hit worms that are underground. The worms that usually don't get hit are underground worms in the center-bottom of the landscape. Armageddon causes the view to shake like an earthquake, but it doesn't actually shake worms.

Tips & Tricks

 * When playing a scheme with lots of rare weapons being infinite, the chances of an Armageddon in crates are higher.
 * The best place to hide from an Armageddon is the innermost part of a landscape.
 * In Worms Forts: Under Siege, the landscape is indestructible, so hiding under even the thinnest roofs may be safe.
 * A large disadvantage of the Armageddon is that the Armageddon's target is random so it is dependent on blind luck.
 * If the player knows that the enemy will use an Armageddon, the player might want to place two Electro Magnets to repel the meteors.

Trivia

 * It is impossible to calculate damage per meteor. The meteors' targets are random, thus making it hard to determine a direct, one-time hit. Plus, it is not uncommon for a hit worm to be thrown off the landscape, and if not, they would take fall damage. This results in inaccurate readings.
 * The Armageddon is one of the game's most devastating superweapons, alongside the Concrete Donkey, due to its ability to effect landscape destruction.
