Tallnut Cannon


 * For other uses, see Tallnut (disambiguation). For the version in Plants vs. Zombies 2, see Coconut Cannon.

Tallnut Cannons in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare act very similarly to Coconut Cannons, except they fire Tallnuts, instead of coconuts. They only appear in the Gardens & Graveyards sub-mode, Wall-nut Hills (and Wall-nut Hills Night).

As the plants
It is a good idea to try and keep these alive, as they can help a lot by shooting instant-kill Tall-nuts. These can often delay the zombies. If you find a zombie teleporter, destroy it as soon as possible as zombies can easily come into the mansion and destroy the Tallnut Cannons before you can destroy the teleporter. Be warned that the Tall-nuts can kill plants too. If you are any type of Peashooter it is a good idea to use the Hyper or Super Pea Jump if you find a Tallnut coming your way. The player should avoid rooting anywhere the Giant Wall-nut can hit you otherwise you will easily be vanquished. A Chomper can burrow to avoid getting hit by them.

As the zombies
Once you can, it is useful to shoot at them until they are gone, making it easier for other zombies to get in the mansion; (although note this is almost useless once a Engineer manages to make a teleporter, but it still is a good idea to destroy them as a plant can often destroy the teleporter). If you are an Engineer it is advised you use Jackhammer to go fast and dodge Tallnuts (which would be nearly impossible without some kind of speed boost). It also may be a good idea to spawn Flag Zombies as they give a small speed boost to nearby zombies which can help avoid the annoying Tallnuts. If you are a Scientist it is always a good idea to use Warp to help dodge Tall-nuts. As All-Star you could use your Sprint Tackle to avoid one, but then it takes time to recharge. Alternatively, place a shield to prevent the Tall-nut from hitting you. Foot Soldiers can use Rocket Jump over the Tallnuts.
