Hey Community,

We've seen your chatter on the forums about when the next update is coming to Worms W.M.D. Whilst we're not bringing you a date today we are going to share with you some exciting tid-bits on what you will be getting when the next free update for the game drops in the near future.

Good news! Custom Buildings and Custom Hats are coming to Worms W.M.D, as listed in our 12 month roadmap.

So naturally, to give you a preview of these features in action we've taken one of the most popular community made maps and hollowed it out to show you the power that's inside. Oh, we also used one of the developer's dog's head as a custom hat for a Worm.

And a little look at some of the behind the scenes trickery you'll get upto to make your buildings work...




No release date to announce just yet, but it won't be too long!

Let us know what you're excited to create when this update drops over on the forums.

Forts Mode has arrived!

This free update brings with it a new, fan favourite game mode that pits you, your Fort (and your allies) against a rival Fort in a tactical game of attack, defence and sweet grenade throws.

Choose one of 6 unique animated Forts, customise it with your preferred tactical upgrade consisting of either:

• Static Gun
  
• Sentry Gun
  
• Magnet
  
• Health Crate
  
• Craft Crate

Then finally give your Fort that personal touch with a flag that’s decorated with your Steam profile picture. (This is automatically applied to the Fort)

You’re now ready to take to battlefield and fight to be the Forts Mode Master!

Oh and Forts Mode will now pop up in Ranked Mode, so prepare to add a few new chapters to your big book of Wormy tactics.

6 Brand New Forts

• Castle Hassle
  
• Donkey Dig
  
• Reactor
  
• Haunted
  
• Pink Peril
  
• Rocket

New customisation rewards – Unlock 3 new hats and 3 new Gravestones for your Worms by being victorious in Forts Mode!

Brand new crafted weapon - The 'Magnetised Drone' designed by Survii Gecko.

This brand new, community designed crafting upgrade gives the Mischievous Drone a new, offensive/defensive twist. You can choose to deploy this weapon with either a repel or attract magnet mode, thus allowing you to move mines around the map and either carry or push them into enemy Worms. You can also ‘land’ the Drone and it’ll become a stationary magnet in the location it comes to rest.

Welcome to Worms W.M.D’s new Ranked Mode update, where players can rise up the ranks by winning games. Not only that but you'll also earn points as you win and unlock brand new rewards along the way.

Features

• Skill Based Matchmaking: Players will be matched against opponents of equal rank where possible.
  
• ELO Based Points System: More points are awarded for beating a player of a higher rank and less points are awarded for beating a player of a lower rank.
  
• Rewards: Each rank tier and bracket have their own rewards. Once you have earned a reward it can’t be lost, even if you drop ranks!

So keep an eye out for new hats, animated Team HP bars, Team name backgrounds and more...

Oh and if you were Ranked #1 in the world, we'll have something special coming for you.

How does progression work?

There are ten rank tiers to rise through within 4 brackets (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Master). Once a bracket is reached players cannot drop back down to a previous bracket. Bonus points are awarded for winning your first ranked game each day, and for gaining a winning streak of three wins. (The win streak bonus will be held as long as you keep winning games!)

tl:dr - First win of the day bonus, 3 wins in a row bonus.

Getting stuck in!

Ranked games can be played from the Multiplayer Menu by selecting ‘Ranked 1 vs 1’. Clicking on ‘Your Rank’ allows you to preview and set rewards, view the ranked leaderboards, and check out the infographic showing progression. Once Armageddon rank is reached, your worldwide position within that tier is shown, so that you can continue to battle it out among the Elite to be the world’s best Worms W.M.D player!

NOTE: Any rewards that were earned from the previous Rank system are yours to keep and will not be removed - Silver Grenade, Golden Bazooka.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue which was causing players Rank Points to be reset to zero
  
• Fixed an issue which prevented camera from locating worm during Teleport In phase
  
• Fixed an issue whereby the Drone wasn’t being damaged by fire
  
• Fixed an issue which could alter the players aiming following a jump
