The Blow Torch is a Darksiding utility that has appeared in all Worms games, except for the 3D variants and spin-offs.
Description[]
Blow Torches can be aimed in a roughly 60 degree cone to the front of a worm and propels it forwards over a short distance while pulverizing terrain and dealing damage. The angle can be changed while moving. The main uses of the Blow Torch are for retreating and hiding inside the map (Darksiding) and cutting through obstacles. It is often used alongside the Pneumatic Drill.

Faster than the seven dwarfs.
Considered by most players of Worms, the Blow Torch is the quintessential weapon of the darkside. This weapon is useful for disposing of odd mines, collecting crates - remember the crates won't explode when the BlowTorch comes into contact with them. The BlowTorch can inflict up to 30 points of damage. If you need to change direction during torching through the landscape, simply tapping the up or down cursor key will soon put you in the preferred direction. |

Appearances[]
Fourth Generation[]
In the Fourth Generation of Worms games, the Girder got some class-specific changes. The Heavy creates the shortest tunnels, due to its slow movement. The Scout can create tunnels which are only accessible to Scouts. The damage done by the Blow Torch is also class-specific just like weapons.
