As most of the players have noticed, "Stick To Your Guns" task requires that you kill an ammount of worms by using a specific weapon. I didn't include Sheep, Holy Grenade and Banana in the poll because I think that nobody gets annoying of killing enemies with them, it's fairly easy. The fact is that some weapons are heavily hard to kill enemies and it'll require more than a turn to do it. In most of the cases I would wait for enemies at edges if I had to kill them with one of those "weak" weapons. As they're weak and it'll require more than a turn, you're likely to stuck in this task for some long time, what may make you feel boring about accomplishing it.

So, what weapon do you think is the most boring in this task?

PS.: I never saw Prod in "Stick To Your Guns", that's why it was not included.

Actually, sheep knows to be very annoying since it jumps around like mad, making it hard to kill enemy worm with it :mad:

Like the prod idea ;)

In this case you don't know how to use the weapon. The sheep causes a max or 75 damage and has a big radius explosion that can throw enemies very far.

yes, but on bumpy terrain is very hard to use

Though Sheep wasn't included in the poll, nobody was going to vote on it because there are other options that really make this task get boring, as Cluster Bomb and Dragon Ball, for example.

And my vote was Cluster Bomb! Since they lowered its power, it became very long accomplishing this task when the specific weapon is it. The only occasions I kill a worm with Cluster Bomb is if the enemy is positioned near the ocean, or if its HP is down to 30 or less. After Cluster Bomb I would vote on Dragon Ball.

Nope. If u put the bomb below the enemy worm so that all clusters hit him,it does >50 damage,which means it's basically stronger than shotgun. These occasions are not so rare. And dragon ball can throw 'em in the water just fine. I used it plenty for this. I don't think that any of these weapons are boring.

I love dragon ball, use it all the time but the cluster bomb is the hardest for kill shots I reckon, and at 870 a pop for sheep it does get frustrating when you miss, but thats what worms is all about, the chances of a backfire keep it interesting

If you didn't notice, the only weapons that were not included are the ones based on high radius explosion. These weapons: Dynamite, Sheep, Holy Grenade and Banana. Why? It's simple. You have the high max damage the weapon can cause, and it doesn't require certain circustances all the time; the exlposion radius is large, capable of throwing enemys far or even into the water; and because the explosion radius is large, they can even kill more than an enemy at a time. So, though if there were Dynamite, Sheep, Holy Grenade and Banana in the poll, nobody were going to vote on them because there are other more crappy weapons (if compared to them) like Cluster, Uzi, for example.

@brunu

Indeed,yes. Still don't find any of them boring,that was to be my answer to this thread. And I just claimed that cluster ain't to be trifled with. Maybe it looked like I was provoking? Didn't want that,sorry.

I still don't find cluster boring.. Atm have task to kill 10 worms with it and in 4 games I killed 7! It can still do over 50dmg, which is way better than most other weapons including mine, uzi and such :)
And you can also use it as ordinary grenade to kill worms next to water..

My thoughts exactly, except I'm not that bored with any of these weapons, but if you had to pick one, it would be clusters bomb, even though I was thinking about Dragon Ball too. Usually I use the bomb on same situations as you. I don't know why, but hitting worms with regular grenades is much more fun; maybe it has subconsciously something to do with the fact that grenades are free. :D
