The Zombies are a group of characters in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. The goal of the game is to take over the garden, get vanquishes, steal Tacos, or set Gnome Bombs depending on the game mode. There are four playable zombie classes, Foot Soldier, Engineer, Scientist, and All-Star.
The zombies serve as one of the two playable factions present, alongside the plants. They are playable in Team Vanquish and Gardens & Graveyards, but in Garden Ops, normal non-playable zombies are present over the playable variations.
In Gardens & Graveyards and Taco Bandits, NPC zombies can be summoned during the fight to help Vanquish the plants, and are refilled with Sticker Packs purchased from the Sticker Shop.
Each Playable Character class has six variants or more that give the base class a perk. The variants also differ slightly in appearance. Unlocking the variants is done through purchasing sticker packs from the Sticker Shop. Lower cost packs will result in single pieces being obtained randomly while the most expensive sticker pack will unlock a random new variant.
There are 17 Spawnable Zombies that can be used. To summon a zombie, look for grave dirt piles. The spawnable zombies are used as assistance to fight against the plants in Gardens & Graveyards. Each are considered consumables that once used can not be picked back up. Spawnable Zombies can only be obtained by purchasing sticker packs with in-game coins.
