Fire Peashooter is the second premium peashooting plant that was first added in the 3.2.1 update of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. It was officially released on February 18, 2015 for 109 gems. It shoots one fire pea every 1.5 seconds. It was first confirmed in the Frostbite Caves Part 1 Dev Diary and became available in stores along with the first Frostbite Caves Part 2 teaser Piñata Parties. It has a warm aura which defrost plants in stages, similar to Pepper-pult and Torchwood.

Almanac Entry
DAMAGE: Normal RANGE: Straight RECHARGE: Fast

Fire Peashooters shoot flaming peas down the lane.

Special: immune to frost Special: warms nearby plants

Fire Peashooter knows that what she does looks exciting. But working with an open flame is serious and, more importantly, dangerous business. That's why, in her spare time, she talks to children about the importance of fire safety. "I'm a trained professional." she explains. "Don't try this at home, kids."

Plant Food upgrade
When given Plant Food, it spits a fire trail for three seconds that can go five tiles in front of it, unfreezing plants and damaging every zombie that steps on the trail, dealing 175 damage total. It is similar to Jalapeno's trail of fire.

Strategy
This plant is a good choice in Frostbite Caves, along with it's counterpart, Pepper-pult. Plant it in the center of your defenses, as frost winds can hinder your efforts otherwise. It is best not to use this plant as your primary defenses though, as it shoots only one flaming pea. Placing this as the front row of your defence prevents Hunter Zombies from being able to do anything and will make quick work of them.
