How to Use the Worm Select Switch in Worms W.M.D

The Worm Select Switch is one of the many tools you can use in Worms W.M.D. On some maps, you’ll start with it in your inventory, but often, you’ll have to get it from crates scattered around the stages. This item also has its own ammunition, so you should only use it if it’s absolutely necessary, unless the map allows you to use it indefinitely.

Switching the Worms

Once you’ll have the Worm Select Switch, open your inventory and select it. Pressing the “fire” button will cause circular arrows to appear over your worms. Now, press the “TAB” key on the keyboard, “R1” on a PS4 controller, or “R” on a Nintendo switch controller will switch the worm you’re controlling.

Be careful – pressing any movement key when a worm is selected will end the process. If you’ll want to select another worm now, it’ll cost another Select Switch. Not to mention you’re going to lose more time on that turn.
