Cabbage-pult

The Cabbage-pult Is the primary offensive plant for the early Roof levels, throwing cabbages that deals normal damage to zombies compared to an ordinary Peashooter. The Cabbage-pult sacrifices rate of fire for power so it shoots half as fast as a Peashooter which means they both deal the same damage, overall. Like all lobbed-shot plants, it can also damage Screen Door Zombies and Ladder Zombies directly by ignoring their shields and they can also hit Snorkel Zombies while they're underwater. It can fire from the lower sections of the roof, letting you fit more offensive power on the map. Overall, the Cabbage-pult has the same damage rate as the Peashooter. The Cabbage-pult, along with the projectile, is a popular cultivar of the species ''Brassica oleracea. ''It is obtained after winning level 4-10.

Strategy
Since it is more reliable than the Kernel-pult and cheaper than the Melon-pult, it makes a good basic weapon in the beginning of each level. However, once advanced to more difficult levels, seed packets are too valuable to waste on less-powerful plants. When setting up a Survival Mode build, it is a good idea to use these instead of Peashooters, as you will be able to deal with Screen Door Zombies, Ladder Zombies and Newspaper Zombies immediately. This means that once you have it and the Kernel-pult, it is best to use them as a replacement of the Peashooter, although it mostly depends on preference. It is best to use the three catapult plants in conjunction, planting the Cabbage-pult, Kernel-pult, and finally Melon-pult in that order as you build up enough sun. This is most reliable on the Roof Stages instead of Peashooters, as peas will splatter on the roof's slope.
