 * For the Giga-Football Zombie in the online version of Plants vs. Zombies, see Giga-Football Zombie.

Blitzer (Berserker in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare) is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He appears similar to the All-Star, except his color is black, has spikes on his shoulder plates and has horns on his helmet. He appears in Garden Ops, serving as very tough support in boss waves or special waves. He rarely appears in normal waves, but they will appear on higher difficulties.

Unlike the All-Star, the Blitzer does not wield any weapon. His main attack is using Sprint Tackle, an All-Star ability. However, he can use Sprint Tackle multiple times and knock you away making it hard to face multiple Blitzer. He has much more health than the All-Star, requiring more focused firepower to be taken out.

Health
The Blitzer has less than or equal to 550 health.

Strategies
If you see a Blitzer facing towards you, you should better escape fast, as each tackle deals a whopping 75 damage to you, has no cooldown and propels you into the air. As mentioned earlier, his tackle does not have the cooldown of a playable All-Star, so it is possible to get shoved in a corner and killed by one or two Blitzer. As Peashooter, you can use Hyper or Super Pea Jump to escape him. As a Chomper, use Burrow or Sprint Burrow to escape. Additionally, you can chomp him, but beware that you need to be fast, as he can still tackle you out of the Burrowing mode. As a Cactus, you can place Tallnut Battlements to block him. It is also good to use the Garlic Drone from a safe distance from this zombie.

Trivia

 * He has his own special wave called Tackle Dummies.
