AC Perry

AC Perry is the Rare ice variant of the Engineer in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. His appearance is based on an air-conditioning repairman, as he has a fan gun as his primary weapon and carries an AC on his back. He was first revealed on the Twitter page on December 20, 2015. Like all ice variants, AC Perry slows down plants that he hits using his primary attack, and if AC Perry shoots a plant enough times, they will freeze in place. After a plant is shot directly 9 times, the plant will be frozen.

"AC Perry says he's great at two things: Fixing air conditioners, and making life hard for the Plants. But truth be told, he's not actually very good at fixing air conditioners..."

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
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.

Strategies

With

Using the Ice upgrade can help you freeze targets faster, by reducing the number of shots to freeze to seven. The Sonic Grenade is amazing to use with AC Perry, as it makes freezing plants more easier to kill and the Jackhammer helps getting close to your opponents to freeze and vanquish them. His power is stunning plants, combining Ice and the Sonic Grenade can make a rather challenging fight, especially for Chompers. His splash means that he can go against groups in a supportive role.

Against

AC Perry is one of the weaker ice variants to use, as while his shots do decent damage, he has a slow freeze time without the Ice Upgrade. As Rose, landing a Goatify is useful to vanquishing AC Perry, as it renders his primary weapon and abilities useless. Corns can easily counter him as they can outdamage him.

Balancing Changes
