Goo Peashooter is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that was introduced in the 7.0.1 update. It shoots poison peas at zombies that do damage over time, as well as slowing them.

Like Shadow Peashooter and Sling Pea, Goo Peashooter requires 250 seed packets to unlock it for free.

Origins

Like most other peashooting plants, it is based on the Pisum sativum, commonly known as the pea. Its ability and being a peashooting plant is also partially based on Toxic Pea from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

Its Almanac entry points out how its name is a play on the words "goopy shooter," since Goo Peashooter shoots goop at zombies.

Upgrades

Plant Food effect

When fed Plant Food, Goo Peashooter will launch a giant ball of poison that poisons all zombies in its lane as well heavily reducing their speed.

Strategies

The poison (not the projectile itself) delivered from projectiles will go through armors like buckets and cones and damage the target directly, making Goo Peashooter a potential choice when dealing with Buckethead Zombies and Knight Zombies; while Magnet-shroom would probably be a more effective option overall, Goo Peashooter has a faster cooldown, making it an excellent early defense against armored zombies that enter the lawn, and it also stacks with the slowing perfume effect it dishes out. However, this shouldn’t be depended on when the zombie waves get more compact later during the stage, as the Goo Peashooter can get easily overwhelmed without other plants assisting it. Also, it should be noted that its poison will go straight through Excavator Zombie's shovel, which make it one of the few peashooting plants that can effectively combat Excavator Zombies.

Goo Peashooter’s ability to affect targets with its slowing perfume makes it another slowing plant option to work in conjunction with fire plants, which negate freeze effects cast by plants with cooling abilities. This could make it a potential option for use in levels that require plants that give off ice-repelling heat.
