Marine Biologist is a Super Rare variant of Scientist in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It is extremely powerful and devastating at a close range, with an ability to deal 40 to 50 damage (when not upgraded) or 52 damage (when upgraded), downgrading to eight damage at far distances. They fire more rapidly than other Scientist variants and deal more damage but has a heavily decreased range.

Strategies

For

Use the Marine Biologist in close quarter maps and areas to do maximum damage to your enemies. Save your warps to get close to an enemy, if it is too overwhelming, use your second warp to get away and heal yourself.The Marine Biologist is extremely powerful,but do not blindly run into the enemies,as they can take you out very quickly due to your low health,instead,sneak up on them and prepare to attack the moment you get the chance,the dolphin blaster's fast rate of fire and high damage output are sure to get you some quick vanquishes without losing much health or being vanquished by a surviving plant or the rest of their allies if you are agile enough,using your warp ability to its full potential in situations like these also tend to help a lot in escaping alive and well or vanquishing more enemy plants. Remember to be constantly moving so you are a harder target to hit.

Against

Stay far away from the Marine Biologist and go for critical hits to take him out quickly. If it warps towards you, the best strategy is to get critical hits, or use abilities to get away from him. For the Peashooter, use either of the hyper abilities to run away or run around him so you are a harder target to hit and to get critical hits. For the Chomper, just chomp or spray the Marine Biologist, however getting away with your burrow ability is a much better idea. For the Sunflower, make sure you plant either your healing or Dark Flower to heal or also attack the Marine Biologist, while aiming for critical hits on him. For the Cactus, place Potato Mines so he has to tread carefully to prevent being vanquished. Placing Tallnut Battlements also will help you stay alive longer as he has to aim higher on your body to hit you. Once again, aim for their heads for critical hits.

  • Its Dolphin Blaster was in a trailer called Chum Rush with the phrase, "Put down the shotgun, pick up a dolphin!".
  • In the Trouble in Zombopolis Part One DLC the Marine Biologist had its splash damage reduced along with a warp nerf.

    • However, this nerf was reverted undocumented at an unknown patch.
  • Its weapon resembles the dolphin from Plants vs. Zombies.
    • It makes sounds when it shoots and reloads.

  • When it reloads, one can see that it tosses a fish up in the air, and the dolphin eats it.
  • In Garden Warfare 2, it no longer wears glasses.
