Bucket

The bucket is the metallic headwear worn by Buckethead Zombies to protect themselves from damage. Since it is metallic, it can be attracted by the Magnet-shroom. Additionally, it is one of the strongest types of headwears in the main series. The screen door has the same health as the bucket.



Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies 2
The bucket absorbs 55 normal damage shots. The bucket degrades upon absorbing 19 and 37 normal damage shots.

Plants vs. Zombies Adventures
The bucket absorbs 16 normal damage shots. The Bucket degrades at 8 damage and another time at 12 hits. It finally falls off at 16 damage.

Strategies

 * For more strategies, see Buckethead Zombie.

The bucket is a very strong piece of headwear, so make sure players are prepared to kill zombies that wear it. It's good to use either catapult plants or a fire-pea combo. Note: that it can also be stolen by a Magnet-shroom.

Trivia

 * For more trivia, see Buckethead Zombie.


 * The bucket has a little bit of blood or red paint/rust on it. This is one of the reasons why ESRB says it has "animated blood" (the other reason being you can see red blood and bone when a zombie's arm falls off).
 * As seen in the concept design for the Buckethead Zombie posted on the Plants vs. Zombies Facebook Page, the "blood" is actually a paint stain, as it was supposed to be a painter who used his paint bucket as a helmet.
 * The bucket is the first armor in the game that can be stolen by Magnet-shroom.
