Crate Spy is a utility that appears in all 2nd-generation and 3D Worms games.
Description
The Crate Spy is a useful utility is only found in utility crates. Once collected, it lets every Worm in your team see what's inside weapon crates and utility crates, only for the whole round. It displays text above each crate, revealing the name of whatever's inside, such as a weapon (for example, a Bazooka). This is useful if there's something good inside a crate, or if there's a possibility that superweapons can appear in crates and you want to collect the most useful weapon available. However, in Worms 2, the Crate Spy doesn't let you know if any of the crates are booby-trapped and you can always fall for them, but for some reason it still shows the name of the weapon inside the booby-trapped crate, although it's pointless (possibly to trick the player). Also, in Worms 2 - Worms: World Party, it's important to know that when a superweapon is in a crate, the text above the crate flashes and you can tell it's a superweapon crate. For example, a crate with the Armageddon inside it has the text "Armageddon" above it, but it flashes grey and white, since it's a superweapon.
Trivia
- In Worms Clan Wars, the Scout Worms have a similar ability to Crate Spy.
- In Worms 2, since there were no utilities and utility crates that time, the Crate Spy appeared in weapon crates. Also, in Worms 2, the Crate Spy was called "???????" instead. In the newer Worms games, it was renamed to Crate Spy.
- In Worms 4: Mayhem, you can also see what's inside mystery crates if you have Crate Spy.
- The only type of crates that don't get affected by Crate Spy are health crates, for obvious reasons.
