Worms is a long-running turn-based artillery series from British developer Team17, first released in 1995, in which teams of cartoon worms use an arsenal of outlandish weapons across destructible terrain. Special weapons are among the most powerful tools in a player's inventory, so the short sound that marks one becoming available has become a familiar cue for players who grew up with the games. As gameplay clips, streams and meme edits spread online, the unlock chime has been reused far beyond Worms itself as a quick audio shorthand for gaining something powerful, rare or game-changing.

The Worms special weapon unlock sound from the classic turn-based strategy game, a short triumphant chime used for gaming clips, streams and meme edits.
This short clip captures the moment a special weapon becomes available in Worms, the turn-based artillery game where cartoon worms battle across destructible landscapes. A bright, rising chime and a playful electronic flourish announce the unlock, sounding cheerful, rewarding and unmistakably game-like rather than dramatic or tense. It lasts just under six seconds, giving it enough space to land as a small celebration without overstaying its welcome. Hearing it instantly suggests progress, a power-up and a chance to turn a match around, which is why it works so well as a lighthearted cue for a win, a reveal or an unexpected advantage in a video.
