Fire Cactus

Fire Cactus is a rare variant of the Cactus in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. It can be obtained from sticker packs bought in the Sticker Shop. The abilities of the Fire Cactus and the Cactus are the same, but the Fire Cactus's primary weapon is the Fire Needle. It is the fiery version of the Spike Shot.

Strategies
The Fire Cactus has a shorter range than the other Cacti, but that doesn't prevent it from serving as a long-range Sniper by shooting fire needles at incoming Zombies. The Fire Cactus' fire effect and above-average fire rate makes it more suitable for select scenarios in mid range combat than the rest of the Cactus family but on the contrary, it performs worse at Long range and Close range than the Camo Cactus and the Bandit Cactus respectively. Try sneaking up on a zombie and shoot at it, make sure you're not seen or else you will likely be vanquished. Be wary of the fact that this Cactus comes with the unlikely disadvantage of sticking out in nighttime maps, this trait easily ruins the Fire Cactus' main advantage, its long range, making sniping even more challenging due to the fact that zombies can see this Cactus from very far away.

This extreme disadvantage however has a somewhat unusual and almost crazy solution, customization. The player can try by customizing the Fire Cactus with hats, organics and tattoos that cover up as much of the red-orange-yellow color and glow (while being preferably less visible), which can make sniping somewhat easier.

Trivia

 * If the player changes its default organic, they will become normal cactus hands. This applies to all Cacti.
 * The Fire Cactus has been nerfed a total of three times. This makes it the variant that was nerfed the most in the whole game.
