Weed

Weeds are ally units for the plants that appear in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. They are the plant counterparts to the Browncoat Zombie and, like the Browncoat Zombie, they have different variants that serve as equivalents to the Conehead, Buckethead and Flag Zombies as well as Newspaper Zombies, Screen Door Zombies, Exploding Imps, Coffin Zombie and Outhouse Zombie in the zombie version of Garden Ops called Graveyard Ops. They have been confirmed as being spawnable in Herbal Assault (the reverse of Gardens and Graveyards) and they also appear as enemies in Graveyard Ops (the reverse of Garden Ops) in addition to spawning throughout the plant side of Backyard Battleground where they will engage in seemingly random fights with nearby Browncoats and other zombies.

Their name refers to the name given to a plant that is considered to be undesirable or "in the wrong place". The Weeds' melee attack is called Weed Whip, which deals 15 damage, and the ranged attack is called Seed Spit, which deals 15 damage. However, other variants have other attacks. Weeds use their ranged attack more frequently than their zombie equivalents.

Feastivus Weed

This clever disguise has absolutely no effect on Zombies, but it does provide extra armor!

Trivia

• They were the first new Spawnable Plants introduced for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and are by far the most numerous ones.
• They are also the first spawnable plants that are not stationary turrets, instead, they are capable of actual movement.
• Coincidentally, a Browncoat Zombie variant exists that wears a pumpkin on its head too.
  • However, the Pumpkin Browncoat doesn't nearly have as much health as a Pumpkin Weed, because the Pumpkin Weed is the equivalent to the Conehead Zombie while the Pumpkin Browncoat is re-styled Browncoat.
• So far, Hypno-shroom and Dandelion Weed are the only Weeds not to bear a visual resemblance to the original Weed.
• The message "The Plants are growing!" is the reverse of "The Zombies are coming!" message.
• Hypno-shroom is the only Weed that does not have a zombie counterpart.
  • It's also the only "Weed" that's not a Weed, but instead, a mushroom.
• Weeds are described to hate sports equipment in the game, and they will attack Dummy Shields on sight unless they are attacking a player, similar to how Browncoats attack Tallnut Battlements.
• Sometimes when summoned or when they score a vanquish, the Weeds may laugh in an evil manner, although, this is hard to hear.
• They have a relatively high-pitched voice, though this is again hard to hear.
• Its Halloween costume variant, Halloweed is a pun and portmanteau of Halloween and Weed.
• The Feastivus Weed's helmet is available as a cosmetic item for the All-Star, known as "Ornament Helmet".
• There exists a rare glitch in Backyard Battleground where a Weed can sometimes spawn on the wrong side of the Backyard Battleground (the zombie side). Weeds can also sometimes wander into zombie territory if they spot a valid target there.
