Don’t let his crusty appearance fool you – this peg-legged captain has a trick weapon up his sleeve, which allows for pinpoint accuracy at long range, and a devastating blast up close. Yarr!
Description
Frozen in a block of ice, Captain Deadbeard has been adrift for hundreds of years. Having just arrived on the shores of Zomburbia with his trusty Parrot Pal, he's crusty, a little musty, and ready to bring the fight to the Plants.
Primary Weapons
His primary weapons are the Scurvy Scattershot and the Spyglass Shot. The Scurvy Scattershot is used when not zoomed in, and can only hit targets at close range, it deals 40 damage exactly. This weapon is extremely similar to the Chemist's primary weapon. Each Scurvy Scattershot uses two ammo. The Spyglass Shot is used when the player zooms in and is a long-ranged weapon, it deals 20-24 damage at all ranges. Each Spyglass Shot uses one ammo.

Trivia
- His name may be a parody of Blackbeard, an infamous pirate.
- His name may also be a parody of Captain Dreadbeard, a pirate from World of Warcraft.
- He is the first new class to have one of his variants revealed fully in gameplay.
- Captain Deadbeard is the only new zombie class to not have any mobility boost that doesn't require ability use.
- His hat seems to have actual eye patch strapped around it, covering the skull's left eye socket.
- Originally, the Cannon Rodeo was his second ability, but later swapped places with the Parrot Pal. It is now his third ability.
- This could be because the Parrot Pal is relative to the Garlic Drone and Zombot Drone, which is Cactus' and Engineer's second ability respectively.
- Oddly, when a new variant of Captain Deadbeard, it is marked as "Pirate" instead of "Captain Deadbeard" for the class it's a variant of.
