Gameplay

There are a total of 41 cards that player's can use to build their deck using Bronze, Silver and Gold that offers unique abilities when activated.

All weapons used in Worms: Revolution returns such as the Holy Hand Grenade and the Concrete Donkey. Six new weapons are also included in Worms 3, some of these included returning weapons such as the Homing Pigeon and the Old Lady.
