Deadly Docks


We've shipped the new map, Deadly Docks, it's time to make a splash near the sea!

Improved Beginner Matchmaking


We've improved the onboarding when matchmaking for new players, hopefully this will lead to a better experience in players first few matches.

Fixes


  • Fixed an issue where the worm can got stuck in the reviving pose when reviving a squadmate with another player
  • Fixed an issue on the DualSense controller where audio from other players are heard through the speaker
  • Lab modes will now show the correct arena on the loading screens
  • Fixed an issue which caused the Rocket Shield durability to reset if dropped and picked back up
  • Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor can move between screens on a multiscreen set up
  • Fixed the high / medium tier crate locations on the spawn select screen.
  • The "Better Than Most" trophy unlock criteria ignores players that have left/advanced out of the game
  • Fixed an issue which prevented stats for "killed" and "killed by" to be shown incorrectly
  • Fixed an issue which caused the worm to be inverted if a grenade is thrown directly against a wall that is being slid down
  • Fixed an issue which sometimes prevented worm from jumping after falling from heights
  • Fixed some instances where the player's worms can be seen to flicker on the player card.
  • Potential fix for 'Last Worm Standing' and 'Better Than Most' trophies

For now it's time to rumble!

We thought we'd also post the balance changes again as there was a lot of information in the last news post!

Balancing Changes Live


Sentry Launcher

  • Health increased from 30 to 50
  • Targeting speed increased slightly
  • Damage increased from 5 to 8
  • Accuracy increased slightly
  • Targeting range increased slightly


Rocket Shield

  • Health increased from 200 to 300 (Remember you can see the current health next to your reticule!)
  • Reload time reduced from 1.2 to 1.0
  • Damage increased from 30 to 35


Plasma Blaster

  • Fixed an issue where the input to charge up between shots could be missed, as a result increased the charge up time from 0.7 to 0.9 to balance out
  • Slightly reduced projectile speed to allow more potential to be blocked with the Baseball Bat


Bazooka
  • Reload time increased from 0.75 to 0.9


QOL

  • Increased player participation XP per match
  • Increased weapon XP rewarded for time held and damage dealt (this should help with more passive weapons like shield/turrets)
  • Minor tweaks to drop rates across all weapon crates


Let us know all of your thoughts on the new balance and the Lab being around longer below!

For now it's time to rumble!

Launch Week Stats!

Hey Worms!

We have put together an infographic with all of the recorded stats of Worms Rumble so far! Thank you to everyone for helping us to make this launch week great!

[h2]Week 1 Stats[/h2]



Some of the stats are staggering, and we dare say a little worrying on the death to revival ration of Worms (yes we know DM exists!)

One stat that stands out is that Last Worm Standing Survival rate has increased by 8 seconds from the beta! It seems that Worms are getting much better at the game!

We also announced The Lab special events starting this Thursday! We'll also be revealing the content coming next week!
