Tactical Cuke

Tactical Cuke is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. It is located near the very end of the Main Street map found in Gardens & Graveyards, where the zombies must prevent it from being launched into Zomboss Mountain.

Origins

It is a parody of tactical nuclear weapon, often abbreviated to "tactical nuke." It is also based on a cucumber (Cucumis sativus), a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae.

Map Description

The Plants have deployed their secret weapon, the TACTICAL CUKE. Can the zombies take it out before it launches and destroys Zomboss Mountain?

Final Objective

Once all gardens are captured by the zombies, the plants must defend the Tactical Cuke stored in the greenhouse. The zombies must run through the parking lot towards the building while avoiding cob missiles being shot by Corn Mortars. Once inside, the zombies must arm four bombs, and the plants have to prevent this.

Ending

Plants

If the plants successfully defend it until the timer runs out, the Tactical Cuke will launch into the air, presumably going straight towards Zomboss Mountain.

Zombies

If the zombies managed to arm all four bombs, the Tactical Cuke will fail to launch and collapse backwards.
