The Painter is also a good counter to the [[Cactus (PvZ: GW)|Cactus]] because the Painter has a variety of perks that the Cactus does not have; first of all, the Painter deals more damage per hit than any Cactus (barring on headshots from the [[Camo Cactus]]), it deals splash damage, meaning misses can still deal damage, and finally, the [[Jackhammer]] gives the Painter an agility advantage in close quarters in addition to allowing the painter to "tackle" plants by running into them, and on top of that, it provides some degree of safety against Cacti as the increased movement speed makes the Painter hard to hit. However, the Painters shots will not always land where the reticle shows it will land. At longer ranges, the Painter has more difficulty trying to hit plants due to its clunky aim and slower projectiles. |
Despite the mentioned advantages, the player should try to avoid close-range combat as the Painter since his slow firing speed makes hitting targets up close exceedingly difficult unless you manage to stun them with either the [[Sonic Grenade]] or the [[Proximity Sonic Mine]]. |

AI health
- Easy: 75
- Normal: 100
- Hard: 125
- CRAAAAZY: 150
Specialty
What makes the Painter so special is that its weapon exaggerates the use of crowd control. The Painter's arsenal consists of a Paint Crossbow. The Cactus and its variants have a similar weapon, as they both are designed for long range. The Painter creates a next level generation of rivalry between the Cactus and the Engineer. It also has a small bullet drop, which can make aiming a little harder at long ranges.
Primary weapon
The Painter's primary weapon is the Paint Crossbow. The facts below apply to a fully upgraded weapon.
- The damage per hit at all ranges base and critical is 48.
- The max DPS at all ranges is 45.4.
- The splash damage is 15 at all ranges.
- The ammo in a clip is 15.
- The reload time is 2.7 seconds.
- The projectile speed is slow.
- The weapon is semi-auto.
- The bloom is low.
Abilities
Left abilities | |
---|---|
Sonic Grenade |
The Sonic Grenade is a grenade that, when thrown, will stun plants in a small radius for a short time and forces Burrowing Chompers out from the ground. |
Proximity Sonic Mine |
An alternate ability of the Sonic Grenade, the Proximity Sonic Mine is a landmine which can stun plants for about five seconds when they come close to it. It makes Chompers come out of their Burrow ability if they are using it. This can be very useful for defending a teleporter or trying to escape from plants. |
Center abilities | |
Zombot Drone |
The Zombot Drone is a drone equipped with the Zombot Laser and the deadly Cone Strike. It has five health. |
Rocket Drone |
The Rocket Drone is an alternate version of Zombot Drone having more health (20). It is equipped with the Mean Beam and Lone Cone. |
Right abilities | |
Jackhammer |
The Jackhammer allows for quicker movement but at the cost at not being able to use your other abilities, though you can still fire your primary weapon, and if you bump into a plant, the plant will suffer knockback and light damage. |
Turbo Jackhammer |
An alternate ability of the Jackhammer, the Turbo Jackhammer functions the same as the Jackhammer except that it travels faster, but lasts for a shorter amount of time. |
Left abilities | |

Sonic Grenade |
The Sonic Grenade is a grenade that, when thrown, will stun plants in a small radius for a short time and forces Burrowing Chompers out from the ground. |
Proximity Sonic Mine |
An alternate ability of the Sonic Grenade, the Proximity Sonic Mine is a landmine which can stun plants for about five seconds when they come close to it. It makes Chompers come out of their Burrow ability if they are using it. This can be very useful for defending a teleporter or trying to escape from plants. |
Center abilities | |
Big Bolt Blaster |
The Big Bolt Blaster is a mounted turret similar to the Pea Gatling. It has 100 ammo and a very high rate of fire. |
Bedazzled Bolt Blaster |
The Bedazzled Bolt Blaster is a reskin of the Big Bolt Blaster and therefore has no difference other than appearance and having different crosshairs. |
Right abilities | |
Jackhammer |
The Jackhammer allows for quicker movement but at the cost at not being able to use your other abilities, though you can still fire your primary weapon, and if you bump into a plant, the plant will suffer knockback and light damage. |
Turbo Jackhammer |
An alternate ability of the Jackhammer, the Turbo Jackhammer functions the same as the Jackhammer except that it travels faster, but lasts for a shorter amount of time. |
Weapon upgrades - GW1
Less Sticky Reloader
Paint is sticky! This reloader replacement makes it less sticky resulting in faster reload times.
Zomboss Enhanced Paint Box
A Zomboss enhanced paint box holds more paint. Well, really, it's just a bigger box.
Enhanced Paint Fumes
Enhanced paint fumes cause more damage to Plants.
Strategies
The Painter is arguably the best Engineer variant for those who like to snipe plants from afar instead of exclusively going for the teleporter. The Painter's high projectile damage (which is 45 by default and 48 when upgraded) makes it quite lethal in the hands of an accurate player. The Painter is also a good counter to the Cactus because the Painter has a variety of perks that the Cactus does not have; first of all, the Painter deals more damage per hit than any Cactus (barring on headshots from the Camo Cactus), it deals splash damage, meaning misses can still deal damage, and finally, the Jackhammer gives the Painter an agility advantage in close quarters in addition to allowing the painter to "tackle" plants by running into them, and on top of that, it provides some degree of safety against Cacti as the increased movement speed makes the Painter hard to hit. However, the Painters shots will not always land where the reticle shows it will land. At longer ranges, the Painter has more difficulty trying to hit plants due to its clunky aim and slower projectiles.
Despite the mentioned advantages, the player should try to avoid close-range combat as the Painter since his slow firing speed makes hitting targets up close exceedingly difficult unless you manage to stun them with either the Sonic Grenade or the Proximity Sonic Mine.
