Upgrades (PvZ: GW2)

Upgrades (in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2) are obtained when the player levels up characters. They are obtained every time when the character is level 5 and the first three times the character is level 9. Each character has eight Upgrades total, but not all character have the same eight Upgrades.

When a character receives an Upgrade, it is not automatically applied; rather, the player needs to apply the Upgrade to the character themselves. Each character can only have three Upgrades applied to them at one time.
