Almanac Entry: At the age of 65, Buster Korn is pretty much an incapable guy by now. Back at his young age, he served the Grain Corp during the Great Zombie Wars in the '70s. He was at his prime back then. He single handedly taken down a bunker occupied with a bunch of soldiers securing a secret toxic warhead supposed to be used to bomb down farmlands. He went into solo missions 3 times with his squad lost. In 2005, the Great Garden Warfare, but he was already retired. In an old age, he isn't able to wield his Cob Busters nor do a Husk Hop like he used to be. He still had his Butterhawk parked inside his barn.
A new threat had arrive. Dr. Zomboss has conquered half of Suburbia. This means war. A peashooter visited his old house in a farm, where he saw Buster sitting on a rocking chair. He convinced him to comeback for war. His words are, "General, I may be old, but for the good of Suburbia, I must return to the Lawn and take down these corpses once and for all". With sheer determination, he equipped his antique Cob Busters, knowing that they still work properly. He flew on his Butterhawk and went to the Lawn Force Base. He has come back from retirement to shoot down some corpses.
Gameplay: Buster Korn is a very effective marksman and mage all at the same time. His rapid firing Cob Busters make him deal pretty strong damage to suppress a single target as well as any enemy he passes. He can leap in and out in a fight using his Husk Hop and blast his foes with his Shuck Shots. He is pretty great in dishing out very powerful damage in team fights, whether it is unleashing a strafing run in a line or nuking down an area with a ballistic missile.
