Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2/Concepts

List of upcoming and scrapped content for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.

Laser Goat
The Laser Goat is an unfinished character that is only obtainable through hacking. It is on both the plants and the zombies' side. It has green armor if it's on the plants' side, and dark purple armor if it's on the zombies' side. It can jump high and even has a double jump like the Imp. You can actually see this character in-game currently, but only when someone hacks it in. Lop0l0v3r (a player who is famously known for hacking Garden Warfare), is the only one known to have hacked it in. Its primary weapon currently has an unfinished name, reading "ID_CUS_H_WEAPON_LASERGOAT_PRIMARY" when vanquished by it. Its icon, sounds, and projectiles are the same as Hover Goat-3000's. Its primary weapon has infinite ammo and can overheat, and during the overheat penalty it uses the particle effect from Citron's Orange Beam.

Game modes

 * Goat Vanquish - Game mode that was leaked a while ago. Its name exists in the code, but nothing else really is there. According to a tweet from Justin Wiebe, this mode for the two goats was supposed to be an alternate mode to Cats vs. Dinos.


 * Taco Bandits - Confirmed to be returning. See Taco Bandits for more information on the contents of the mode. Subject to change.

Abilities

 * Healbelch - An ability that heals teammates and Laser Goat. It uses the Heal Beam of Science as a placeholder icon and data from the Mega Heal Bomb for the ability in gameplay.
 * Impulse Grenade  - An ability that tosses a grenade that explodes and deals 10 damage. It uses both item and icon from the Gravity Grenade.

A Z-Mech that is also identified as a boss. It comes with its own Imp called Renegade Imp in the coding. It would have had 500 health and had 3 abilities:
 * Cluster Cannons: Same effect as the Missile Madness of the regular Z-Mech, seems to home in a lot more.
 * Smokey Motors: It would summon an airstrike the rains down 5 Zombie Stink Clouds.
 * Gravity Missile: It would launch 5 Gravity Grenades at its target(s).

Impflier drone
It seems to be a scrapped ability for the Imp. Its primary weapon is a laser and can call in a Cone Strike like Zombot Drone. It had appeared in the E3 trailer for Garden Warfare 2.

Imitater

Scrapped Bosses

Orange Juice Robot - Only has an icon.

Super Chili Bean - Unused Variation of the Super Bean, in a similar fashion to Giga Gargantuar. Its attacks have red effects instead of blue effects. Has an icon as well.

Crab Machine - Only has an icon.

Wishing Well
The Wishing Well was part of a scrapped donation system featured in the game, where players could travel to different Backyard Battlegrounds and leave Stars in other players' wishing well. However, this was removed due to cheating and exploit issues that might have occurred.

Unused Story Mode Music
Unused story mode music can be found in the files. It is unknown what they would have been used for, but it is probably there because the story mode background music was going to have two versions.

Unused Great White North music
Great White North has 3 unused music tracks, all of which are for the zombies. They would have been used for the zombie takeover tracks, but only one of them was used.

Audio
NOTE: Names for these tracks are based off of their filenames. Version 2 is the used version.
