Modern Day

*An empty Modern Day lawn.*

**Modern Day** is the 11th world in *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished*. It has 50 levels, including the 16 Expansion levels, 8 plants to unlock, and 10 zombies to encounter.

It takes place in the present day, or rather moments before Crazy Dave eats his taco and yearns to re-experience it again. Modern Day mashes up various zombies and mechanics from the worlds before it, making each level challenging in their own way.

The main gimmick of Modern Day are Portals. While sparce in appearances, portals can be very dangerous as they can spawn numerous zombies that weren't on the Choose Your Seeds screen depending of the type of portal.

Each match gives the player sun, with 1 additional sun being given for each chain reaction caused by the player. The sun can be used by the player to upgrade their plants. Upon reaching certain match thresholds, different zombies will start appearing.

It is played on Days 8, 13, 22, 27 and 46.

Special Delivery is a Brain Buster featuring a conveyor belt, with said conveyor belt being the only way to recieve plants.

#### Locked and Loaded

Additionally, the gimmicks of the chosen Endless Zone level, such as Tar or Tombstones can start to populate more tiles on the lawn.

### Zombot Lawn-O-Tron

The player must fight Dr. Zomboss in Modern Day piloting the Zombot Lawn-O-Tron, which appears similar to the Zombot Tomorrow-tron but with way more abilities at its disposal. It can summon various types of zombies from all worlds, fire missiles which create tombstones similarly to Zombot Sphinx-inator, create portals from previous worlds, summon Dinosaurs and calls for zombies from Ambushes. Unlike other Zombots of this nature, this one does not have a charge attack and instead releases a huge ball or ice or fire that slowly trudges through a lane, crushing any plant it touches which can only be stopped by a Jalapeno and a boosted Iceberg Lettuce respectively.

It is fought at Day 50.
