Chemist


 * For the similar zombie in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, see Mad Chemist.

Chemist is a Super Rare variant of the Scientist in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He is a very exaggerated variant of the Scientist's power at close quarters combat. The Chemist's weapon of choice has a much further width of deviation, but only goes approximately one to three feet away from the player. He deals 35 damage at any range. Dealing this damage can easily take out enemies, since there is no class that deals better damage for being near enemies like the Chemist other than the Marine Biologist.

Stickerbook description
''The Chemist Zombie spends his time taste-testing unstable chemical concoctions. Despite his appearance, he insists he's no worse for wear.''
