Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare: Pea Shooter Variants Guide

Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare has many class variants. For the plants, many of them add elemental effects to their primary attacks. Unlocking them is very time-consuming because you need a lot of coins.

40k guarantees a character, but that’s it. The lower packs give you pieces you must collect to unlock a character. If you want tips on getting the most coins, look at my Coins Guide.

I’ll go over every Peashooter variant in the game and explain what they do. If you would like an overall guide of the Peashooter class, check out my Peashooter Guide.

This guide will cover everything about the Peashooter variants including:

• Peashooter Variants – Each variant and what they do.
