==Abilities==
===Zombie Stink Cloud===
When activated, Foot Soldier throws a gas canister that spawns a purple cloud of stink, blinding enemy plant vision and dealing small amounts of damage to those inside it. However, it does not block the vision of your zombie teammates. The cloud has a 15 second duration when it hits a surface, it has a 30 second recharge time and deals 3 damage every half second.
===Rocket Jump===
When activated, the Foot Soldier is launched a great distance up into the air, high enough so he can reach the rooftops of houses and other high surfaces. It has a 20 second recharge time.
===ZPG===
When activated, there is a short delay before the ZPG fires a rocket directly towards it's targeted area, dealing massive damage on direct hits. Direct hits deal 300 damage, the explosion deals 50 blast damage and the recharge time is 24 seconds.

===With===
Foot Soldier is a great starter character for new players because of his easy-to-understand way of playing the game: Shoot Plants until they are vanquished! Foot Soldier comes prepared with three useful abilities: The Zombie Stink Cloud, The Rocket Jump and the ZPG.
The Zombie Stink Cloud is very useful when it comes to area denial as not only do Plants take small hits of damage, but the cloud also obscures their vision, forcing them to either fire wildly into the cloud or find another way or seeing around the cloud. Use this to your advantage by holding down areas with your stink cloud before firing upon the unsuspecting Plants. Remember: THEY can't see YOU, but YOU (and your team) can see THEM.
The Rocket Jump is the Foot Soldier's answer to agility because while his speed may be average, he more than makes up for it with the ability to rocket jump a great distance in the air to get a height advantage. Use elevated areas like trees and rooftops to your advantage by firing down at Plants while using your new perching spot as cover.
The ZPG is the cherry on top for the Foot Soldier. Use the ZPG on clustered groups of enemies or mounted Plants like Pea Gatlings and Sunbeaming Sunflowers. With all of this knowledge, the Foot Soldier can become a mighty powerhouse of a character.
===Against===
The Foot Soldier can be very hard character to deal with, as his Rocket Jump allow him to make full usage out of his Z-1 Assault Blaster and ZPG by gaining a height advantage. Characters that excel at far ranges or can consistently deal damage through any means such as Cactus with her sniping capabilities or Peashooter with his helpful splash damage can force the Foot Soldier to duck for cover or retreat to a different position.
Getting up close with the Foot Soldier can help as well, as moving around him while he's trying to flimsily aim his blaster at you can help a lot as well, just make sure he doesn't activate his ZPG or Rocket Jump in a last ditch effort to escape.
==Trivia==
*Foot Soldier's new uniform is based off of the Cold War era of American military uniforms.
*Foot Soldier's full real name is Tommy 'Snafu' Garand. His name has multiple references to them.
**Tommy referring to the Thompson sub-machine gun, made in 1918 and was primarily used by military, police and criminal gangsters.
**Snafu which refers to either a confused or chaotic state or Private Snafu, the name of the title character in a series of black-and-white WWII instructional animated series for American troops in training.
**Garand referring to the M1 Garand, a semi-automatic battle rifle created in Canada and primarily used by the American army as the standard U.S service rifle during WWII and the Korean War.
*FUN FACT: Foot Soldier secretly hates trees and forests, probably because of what they could hide...
