Peashooter

Peashooter is a recurring character within the Plants vs. Zombies franchise. Peashooter serves as the player's first line of defense against the zombies and is often the first plant the player unlocks or plays as.

Peashooter's personality and character throughout the franchise has rarely been elaborated on, with the most stated on him is his high determination and perseverance in fighting zombies. His lack of characterization is likely intentional to reflect on his role as the basic unit of attack in most games.

As of Plants vs. Zombies 3, he, along with Sunflower and Wall-nut, has appeared in every game in the franchise.

## History

### Plants vs. Zombies

In the original Plants vs. Zombies, as well as all Chinese spin-off games based on it, Peashooter is the first plant obtained upon starting the game. He attacks zombies by firing peas down his lane.

He is the only regular, long-ranged offensive plant available until Snow Pea is unlocked after beating Level 1-6. He is the first pea plant introduced, followed by plants such as Snow Pea and Repeater.

### Plants vs. Zombies Adventures

Peashooter made a reappearance in PopCap's ill-fated Facebook game Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, where he retained his role as the player's first form of offense the player receives.

Due to the three-dimensional style of the tower defense featured in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, Peashooter no longer attacks in a straight line down a row, instead he is able to attack zombies one-by-one in a five-by-five area around himself.

He has two premium variants based on him, the Sweet Pea and the Beeshooter, the former of which deals more damage, and the latter of which has a larger attack range.

### Plants vs. Zombies 2

In Plants vs. Zombies 2, Peashooter is once again the first plant available in the player's seed arsenal, obtained before starting the first tutorial level.

He is the only regular offensive plant that is available until Cabbage-pult is unlocked after beating Player's House - Day 4.

He is a member of the Appease-mint family, dealing 150 more damage when they are on the field and his Plant Food effect has him wear a helmet similar to Gatling Pea and fire a burst of 60 peas.

### Garden Warfare subseries

Peashooter lays a prominent role in the Garden Warfare series of shooter games, where he acts as a front line assault, or a hit and run attacker, dealing heavy splash damage with his primary weapon the Pea Cannon.

Peashooter also has an explosive Chili Bean Bomb to deal large damage in an area, Hyper which allows him to run at high speeds and jump large heights, and the Pea Gatling in which Peashooter can root himself to the ground and fire a barrage of rapid fire peas.

As with the other playable classes in the Garden Warfare series, he has numerous character variants based on him, each having their own traits that differentiate them from the standard base character.

### Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars

Peashooter appeared in the Chinese-exclusive turn-based game Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars, where he was the first plant in the pea line. He evolved into Repeater and then into Gatling Pea. He attacked by firing one pea at an enemy per turn.

His active ability was Pea Barrage, which dealt a lot of damage to the closest enemy in his lane.

His soulmates were members of the Nut line for a damage boost, the Bomb line for a critical chance increase, and the Charm and Pepper lines for a damage boost.

Peashooter and the Pea line as a whole also served as the flagship plant line for Brave type plants and is the first line the player unlocks in the game.

### Plants vs. Zombies Heroes

Peashooter also appears in the turn-based mobile card game Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, where he appears as the basic 1-strength-1-health representative for the Mega-Grow class, more specifically representing the pea tribe.

Peashooter also has a Plant hero based on him, Green Shadow, whose specialty is boosting the strength of plant fighters and synergizing with plants in the Pea tribe.

### Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville

Peashooter once again appears in the third-person shooter game Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. He is an attack class who specializes in combat versatility and explosive damage, via either his high splash damage primary weapon or his Chili Bean Bomb ability.

His Pea Gatling ability has also received a buff where its cooldown is dependent on how much of it is used, with little usage resulting in a shorter cooldown. His Hyper ability has also been replaced with an ability named Pea Suped which is functionally identical to Hyper with the added benefit of increasing Peashooter's rate of fire and allowing him to hover in the air by zooming in with his primary.

Unlike in the *Garden Warfare* series, Peashooter no longer has any Character variants but instead has a large number of character upgrades, some of which grant abilities and perks to Peashooter's primary weapon and abilities.

### Plants vs. Zombies 3

Peashooter appeared in Plants vs. Zombies 3, where he reprised his role as a straight-shooting plant that is unlocked in the first level of the game. He also acted as the flagship plant for Shooter type plants.

Due to the different sun system, Peashooter costed 3 sun rather than 100, but otherwise behaved the exact same way he does in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*, being featured in every level except 15 and 17.
