He is slower but has 50 more health (75 if upgraded), mark the total of 200 health (225 if upgraded and 215 in Garden Warfare 2), meaning that he is the playable character with the third most health in Garden Warfare 2, being only beaten by Iron Citron, Torchwood and Z-Mechs (not including Boss Mode and the InfinityRobots). The Armor Chomper was introduced in the Zomboss Down DLC pack in Garden Warfare.
Every morning, the Armor Chomper dons his suit of armor and prepares for battle. He tries to lube up his joints during respawns so he doesn't sound too creaky.

Primary weapon
The primary weapon of the Armor Chomper is Metal Chomp which deals 50 in Garden Warfare and 45 in Garden Warfare 2 damage per chomp.
The Cheesy Goop in the first in Crazy Dave's new line of gourmet marinades. It's scientifically formulated to slow Zombies down and make them taste great!
The Chomper's ultimate weapon. He has the ability to tunnel underground and ambush unsuspecting Zombies by emerging under their feet and swallowing them whole!
The Chesterweed attacks at an extremely fast speed, dealing up to 70 damage in 5 seconds. Chompers eating zombies trapped by the Chesterweed will swallow significantly faster, but the Chomper can only have two of them at a time, instead of three. It takes 60 seconds to recharge one Chesterweed.
If you're sick of being harassed by Zombies on rooftops, the Chomp Cannon is for you. Hock a loogie in their direction with this disgustingly explosive attack!
The Chomper's ultimate weapon. He has the ability to tunnel underground and ambush unsuspecting Zombies by emerging under their feet and swallowing them whole!
When a zombie stumbles into a Vampweed, you get a helpful health boost! The zombie isn't hurt, but he probably feels a bit silly falling into your trap.
Weapon upgrades
Description about the Armor Chomper's weapon upgrades
Emptied Pockets
Emptying out his pockets has lightened the load, and allows him to move faster.
Iron Stomach
Zombies cause indigestion! Having iron stomach-plating makes the agony pass a little quicker.
Balanced Breakfast
Now that he eats a balanced breakfast every morning, he is feeling healthier than ever.
Strategies
Despite Armor Chomper's extremely high health, it is possible for him to be overwhelmed due to his low movement speed, which is why the Burrow is crucial to the Armor Chomper's survival along with the speed upgrade. When playing as Armor Chomper, always stick close to teammates near objectives. By doing this, the player can successfully halt objectives with his high health, tank damage from enemies, and keep his health up. Though optional, it might be useful to hold the Super Sticky Goop for the extra second could mean your life.
Armor Chomper excels in the Gnome Bomb due to his tanking ability while carrying and defusing objectives even though having a side-effect for being slow.
If the player ever wanted to kill for increased bounty it is best to equip Sprint Burrow and Cheesy Goop ability especially when you directly hit a zombie with the goop which can deal up a total of 25 damage. This will lead you killing any zombies with 125 health with just two Metal Chomps and that is why a Sprint Burrow is equipped because if you choose to swallow, it is a lowly decision except when having a low health.

Trivia
Only his teeth, gums and tongue are not made of metal.
Even if the "Emptied Pockets" upgrade is unlocked, he is still the slowest playable character, having less speed than a normal Chomper with or without a speed upgrade.
Even though he moves slower than the other Chompers, Burrow will still allow him to move at the same speed as a normal Chomper.
His weapon, Metal Chomp, deals twice the damage of a standard chomp from the front (50 damage per bite instead of 25) and chomps a little faster than half rate, resulting in it being more damaging.
