Breakout Battle
Breakout Battle was a game mode in Plants vs. Zombies 3. It was found in each block, functioning as more challenging versions of normal levels found in the Devour Tower. Each battle had a different trick and a random horde of zombies the player would fight against, both of which depended on the block. Bigger types of zombies called Mega-Minions would sometimes appear in these battles, marked by a angry skull with pink glowing eyes.
Tricks
Each Breakout Battle had a trick that would randomly occur during the level via a message on the screen, the trick’s ability depended on what block you were in. Player’s House & Dave’s Workshop did not have a trick. It is unknown if Mulchiburger Fast Food or Savings & Lawn Bank had one.
