Sandworm Playground Full Sandworm Roster Breakdown
Role-by-role notes so every unlock earns its keep on the playground.
This roster page expands the Sandworms Hub with practical roles you can apply to whatever names appear in your current Sandworm Playground unlock menu. Because Kami Stuff. can ship new worms quickly after launch, we classify by job rather than freezing a brittle name list that goes stale overnight.
Match each in-game icon to a role below, then confirm power level on the tier list.
Farmer sandworms
Farmers exist to break the most objects per minute. Signs you are looking at a farmer:
- Comfortable move speed after chains of breaks
- Mouth and mid-body that stay aligned during sweeps
- Forgiving recovery when you clip scenery
Unlock advice: Buy the best farmer you can afford before anything else. Feed it with routes from the XP farming guide.
Bruiser sandworms
Bruisers feel heavier. They shine when smashing thick structures or multi-prop stacks that lighter bodies glance off. They may turn slower, so practice wider arcs from the controls guide.
Unlock advice: Mid-game purchase after a farmer exists. Great for contested center pieces.
Scout sandworms
Scouts trade raw mass for snappier redirection between split piles. In busy ten-player servers, a scout can vacuum leftover props while bruisers collide in the middle.
Unlock advice: Strong third unlock if public lobbies always feel crowded.
Flex sandworms
Flex worms win screenshots and group photos. They may animate more dramatically in community showcases — including full-roster YouTube tours linked from How to Unlock Sandworms. XP pace can lag behind farmers.
Unlock advice: Buy when you already clear content comfortably and want variety.
Novelty sandworms
Novelty bodies are jokes, experiments, or ultra-specific looks. They complete the collection but rarely lead the tier list.
Unlock advice: Last. Completionists only.
How to map the live menu to these roles
- Sort your unlock UI by cost or order unlocked.
- For each locked worm, ask which role fantasy the thumbnail sells.
- Tag it Farmer / Bruiser / Scout / Flex / Novelty in your notes.
- Prefer Farmer → Bruiser/Scout → Flex → Novelty order.
- Recheck tags after updates because balance shifts happen.
Sample progression table
| Stage | Goal | Role focus | Wiki link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session 1 | Learn loop | Default farmer behavior | Getting Started |
| Sessions 2–4 | First premium unlock | Farmer | XP Farming |
| Mid collection | Contested maps | Bruiser or Scout | Controls |
| Late collection | Style and completion | Flex + Novelty | Codes for help |
Testing a new unlock in five minutes
- Equip the new worm.
- Run your standard two-zone farm loop.
- Note turn radius, smash satisfaction, and XP feel.
- If worse than previous farmer, re-equip the old main for serious grinding.
- Keep the new worm for flex sessions.
Roster hygiene
- Do not trust random Discord “secret OP worm” rumors without a patch note.
- Do not spend on every flex the same day a code drop arrives — redeem codes first.
- Do not use account-risk tools from Scripts just to skip roster progression.
Where names get recorded
As stable community names settle, we append concrete callouts to this page and the tier list. Until then, role tags keep advice accurate across patches.
Official game and group links stay on the Links Hub.
Smash with a plan, collect with a spreadsheet brain, and let the roster work for your XP — not against it.
When friends ask which worm to buy, send them this roster plus the tier list instead of a single screenshot. Context prevents regret unlocks and keeps the whole lobby farming smarter.
