Backyard Battleground (PvZ:WOR)

:For the version in Garden Warfare 2, see Backyard Battleground.
The Backyard Battleground is the hub area in Plants vs. Zombies: Wrath Of Rogue. All other game modes and activities can be accessed here. After loading the game and selecting a save file, the player always spawns here. A majority of the FPS campaign is accessible in the Backyard Battleground and other facilities. There is a plethora of other interactive features, as well.
==Facilities==
===PvP Portal===
The PvP Portal is the device used to play other game modes. It is present in both teams' bases. If the player chooses to play a multiplayer match, other real players will be on the ally and enemy teams. On the other hand, the other players in the battle are replaced by AI-controlled Heroes (which consists of Markspea, Power Flower, Kernel Corn and their base game-obtained variants on the plants side, and Captain Deadbeard, Super Brainz, Foot Soldier Zombie and their base game-obtained variants on the zombie side). There are 12 players on each team, for a total of 24. If the player gets vanquished by an AI opponent when using the Solo Play setting, he or she will be identified by an alias that isn't seen anywhere else in the game.
The game modes that are currently available in the PvP Portal include the following:
*Team Vanquish - Plants and Zombies face off in a competition to be the first to vanquish 50 opponents.
*Vanquished Confirmed! - Collect orbs from fallen teammates or opponents to earn 50 points.
*Gardens & Graveyards - Zombies fight to turn the plants' gardens into Graveyards in an expanding map.
*Herbal Assault - A reversal of Gardens & Graveyards, in which plants traverse through an expanding map, while turning the zombies' graveyards into Gardens.
===Ops Mode===
Ops Mode can be accessed via Crazy Dave's Flying RV or Dr. Zomboss' Blimp. Garden Ops has plant players defending a garden from the zombies, while Graveyard Ops has zombie players defending a tombstone from the plants. Solo Ops can only be played by a single player, and real-time players cannot join their session. In Garden Ops, Spawnable Zombies (mainly Browncoats) attack the player(s); while in Graveyard Ops, the same could be said for Spawnable Plants (mainly Weeds). Heroes have a fixated debut in certain waves (Markspeas first appear on wave 2, Power Flowers on wave 6, and Kernel Corns on wave 9 in Graveyard Ops; Foot Soldier Zombies first appear on wave 2, Captain Deadbeards on wave 3, and Super Brainz' on wave 8 in Garden Ops). After the tenth wave is completed, all players must get to the landing zone and stay there for a limited amount of time in order to win.
The types of waves in Ops Mode include the following:
*Special Waves - Certain types of enemies are sent out in special waves. They occasionally appear in non-boss waves. They may also show up, alongside the given objective.
*Objective Waves - On waves 3 and 8, there is an objective that must be completed. Most of the objectives are the same for both sides, while others are exclusive to a certain faction's version of Ops Mode. If the objective in question in finished, the banner will turn green, and it'll be red if the player(s) fail to do so. The player will also get extra coins after completing the objective, but failing would result in them not obtaining it.
*Boss Waves - On waves 5 and 10, the player(s) fight bosses that are randomly selected from Crazy Dave or Dr. Zomboss' slot machine. The bosses that can be fought include Giga Torchwood, Big Stump, and Acorn & Oak in Graveyard Ops, and Gargantuar, Giga Gargantuar, and House Gargantuar in Garden Ops. If three gold coins or gems are spun on the slot machine (instead of bosses), it will be re-rolled. A group of attacking plants or zombies can appear on the slots, as well.
*Perfect Wave - The player obtains 50 coins, if they complete a wave without having their garden or tombstone take damage. This is the only type of wave to not be physical.
===Stats Room===
The Stats Room is where the statistics and promotions of Heroes and variants that the player owns can be checked. The Stats Room is located inside a giant tree in the plant base, or a building in the zombie base. The playable characters and their variants have bobblehead figurines on a Flower Pot or tombstone that represents the rank tiers on table-like platforms that the player uses to promote their characters. When a playable character is promoted, the rim of the Flower Pot or the border and "R.I.P." epitaph on the tombstone change to the color of the rank that they have been promoted to. Promoting a playable character to another rank does not require the player to spend another type of currency. The player can also receive upgrades for their characters, after promoting them. They will also receive 20,000 coins.
===Customization Booth===
The player can enter the Customization Booth, which allows them to customize their Heroes or variants, switch to the other team, and apply gestures and upgrades to them. The Customization Booth has different background variations when it is seen in multiplayer lobbies and at the beginning of Garden/Graveyard Ops.
===Switch Teams===
There is a poster on a fence in the plant base and on a metal barrier in the zombie base. The player can click on the poster to switch to the other team. The character that spawns, after switching teams, will be the one that the player last played as on that team.
===Zen Garden===
The Zen Garden is located next to the giant tree in the plant base. The player can go to the Zen Garden to grow plants and get free Plant Food boosts. Stinky the Snail appears in the Zen Garden. Giving him a chocolate bar will make him accelerate the productivity of the Zen Garden plants. Using the Watering Can will give a plant a special animation, before the player has to wait for it to grow. The waiting time can be skipped by spending Zombucks. The player can use sprouts to place plants in the Flower Pots. There are twelve Flower Pots in the Zen Garden. Instant-use plants do not have Zen Garden animations, since they don't have Plant Food upgrades. If the player invites other players to their Backyard Battleground, the visitors can view the Zen Garden, but cannot interact with the plants in it. The player starts with four Flower Pots in the Zen Garden, but more of them can be bought with Zombucks.
==Activities==
===Bullseye Boat Blast===
Bullseye Boat Blast is a mini-game that can be played at the Docks. The Docks are located towards the farthest part of the Backyard Battleground that the player can go to. The Docks are considered the shooting range in the Backyard Battleground. The player can only use Captain Deadbeard when participating in the target practice, after talking to a zombie NPC named Sunken Duncan (who is a customized Scuba Soldier). The player has a minute to get a high score, before the timer runs out. Gnome targets are present on a boat, when the player starts Bullseye Boat Blast. Yellow targets give double points, while blue targets freeze the time limit for two seconds.
===Soccer Pitch===
On the right side of the plant base, there is a soccer field. Players present in the Backyard Battleground can play soccer by pressing the button in the field to start a match. A soccer ball will spawn in the center of the pitch, and plants and zombies can either shoot or push the ball to move it. Much like the real sport, the goal is to get the soccer ball in the goalpost. However, if a player shoots someone in the crowd, the entire crowd will come off the stands and attack all players on the soccer field (similar to a real-life pitch invasion).
===Arcade Machine===
In one of the urban areas of the Backyard Battleground, there is an arcade machine that can be used. Up to eight mini-games can be played, but only three of them are available (Mummy Memory, Slot Machine, and Zombie Trap). Coins, gems, and zombucks can be earned from playing the mini-games.
===Stickerbook===
The Stickerbook lists all playable characters, spawnables, abilities, customization items, upgrades, and the promotions. It can be viewed in the Stats Room. Like all books, there is a table of contents. If the player is missing something from the Stickerbook, question marks will surround what hasn't been acquired yet. If the player is reading the Stickerbook for too long, they will be kicked out of the game, although their progress in both campaigns will not be reset.
