Kernel-pult (GW)

The Kernel-pult is a Rare variant of the Cabbage-pult. His primary weapon is the Buttered Shotgun, which is a melee attack that only goes one to two feets away from the player but deal a lot of damage ; if the said player presses the left trigger, he will instead switch to the Kernel Cannon, which is the secondary weapon of the Kernel-pult that launches low-damaging kernels at a steady and quicker rate.
==Appearance==
Unlike its original version, he bears a more serious appearance, and no longer uses a catapult but instead has a cannon on the right side of his body ; when using the Buttered Shotgun, the character will slightly frown, while the Kernel Cannon will simply be indicated by a small suppressor coming out of the canon when used

==Strategies==
Contrarly to the original Cabbage-pult, this variant is very versatile, using its Kernel Cannon to shoot down enemies at medium/long range with a decent rate and switching to the Buttered Shotgun to quickly eliminate almost any threats at close-range, making the Kernel-pult some kind of plant equivalent of the Captain Deadbeard in terms of weapons, although his technically higher damage output with his close-range weapon makes him more suitable to attack enemies directly since he has more health than most zombies. Engaging combat with him is quite simple : first, his Kernel Cannon should be used not as a sniper weapon, since its shots tends to be highly unpractical if they arc, but rather at medium-range on larger enemies because aiming this way can be hard, and the lack of splash damage makes him less practical than a Peashooter. To engage with someone, first aim and try diminishing his health, and then only get close enough to finish off the said zombie.
Foot Soldiers can be somewhat hard to deal with, since they have a higher DPS and your larger hitbox makes you more vulnerable, so try ambushing them or going for it only with some backup. All-Stars are easier to shoot due to their bigger hitboxes, but can rip you to shreds with their weapons, so try to avoid engaging without any backup or use an ability to calm them down. Concerning Scientists, while they can deal a lot of damage in close quarters, your higher health should allow you to resist their attacks and vanquish them if you manage to attack first. Finally, Engineers have the upper hand due to your bigger hitbox but are still a bit vulnerable, so you can try to butter them before anything to have a bigger chance to vanquish them
