Pops Corn

Pops Corn is a Rare variant of Kernel Corn in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It is able to zoom in much further than the normal Kernel Corn but cannot fire fully automatically with its Corn Cracker. Instead, it fires in three-round bursts. It was first revealed in gameplay showing solo play of Garden Ops.

Stickerbook description
"Although he's seen a thing or two, old Pops Corn still has a new trick or two up his sleeve. However, he would kindly appreciate it if you didn't mention that time a family of birds made a nest in his beard."

Strategy
This is effectively the Sniper variant of Kernel Corn and can technically be referred to as the plants' answer to the Super Commando. The increased zoom allows you to attack enemies from longer distances than usual and the Corn Cracker's three-round bursts are fairly accurate, even when rapid-fired. Use Husk Hop to get up to a vantage point and pick of any zombies that aren't paying attention.

The Pops Corn is not a dedicated Sniper though, as it retains enough close-range power to be an effective assault class. As such, this Sniper-Assault balance can be used in the following way: use your above average zoom and accuracy to pick of any zombies you can reach, then follow your teammates into the fray, providing support to them by aiding them from a range. The Corn Cracker's behavior means that while you still can support your teammates, more defensive gameplay is recommended than what would be the case for the default Kernel Corn.

Trivia
