Fire Peashooter (Plants vs. Zombies 2)

For other uses, see Fire Pea (disambiguation).

Fire Peashooter is a peashooting gemium plant that was first added in the 3.2.1 update of Plants vs. Zombies 2. She was first confirmed in the Frostbite Caves Part 1 developer diary, and was available for purchase since February 18, 2015 for 109 gems along with the first Frostbite Caves Part 2 teaser Piñata Parties. She costs 100 gems. Fire Peashooter shares the same attributes with Peashooter, but she is also a thawing plant, capable of emitting heat every 6 seconds that gradually thaws out frozen or chilled plants in a 3x3 area surrounding her, as well as being immune to all freezing effects herself. She does 40 damage to zombies every 1.35-1.5 seconds.

Origins

For more information about this character, see Fire Peashooter.

Like other pea-shooting plants, Fire Peashooter is based on the pea plant (Pisum sativum). She may also be based on other fiery pea-shooting plants like Flaming Pea from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures and the plant of the same name from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

The "fire" part comes from her being on fire and shooting flaming peas.

Pepper-mint effect

When boosted by Pepper-mint, Fire Peashooter will have an additional 240 damage added to to her fire peas. In addition, she will have a 25% chance to shoot a plasma pea, with said plasma peas receiving an additional 330 damage (or deal 330 damage if she is not at level 5+) while boosted.

Strategies

As a fire plant, which is capable of heating plants around her and thawing ice blocks in a 3x3 area, Fire Peashooter works best in Frostbite Caves. While Fire Peashooter's damage output is not particularly impressive on her own, her fast recharge and lower sun cost makes her a great replacement for Pepper-pult. A column of Fire Peashooter will almost guarantee that any plant in adjacent columns will not be frozen by icy winds or Hunter Zombies.

However, outside of Frostbite Caves, Fire Peashooter does not have much use. While her damage output is similar to Repeater, she lacks the ability to work in tandem with Torchwood, as her fire peas will not be empowered by Torchwoods. Additionally, as she is a fire plant, Fire Peashooter does not work well ice-based plants, as her shots will heat up chilled zombies, removing the slow effect. She can also reignite Explorer Zombie/Torchlight Zombie's torch and Prospector Zombie's dynamite stick, turning them into threats again. Imp Dragon Zombies are completely immune to fire damage, rendering Fire Peashooter completely useless against them. Therefore, she is not a viable option for Arthur's Challenge, as, in addition to the Imp Dragon Zombies, Jester Zombies can also deflect the fire peas. Jester Zombie, however, cannot deflect Fire Peashooter's Plant Food effect.

Fire Peashooter's Plant Food ability, even at lower levels, deals massive damage in every tile in front of her in the row, effectively making it a shorter-range Jalapeno. Unlike other variants of Peashooters, this ability cannot be blocked by zombies in the lane, nor deflected by Jester Zombies, making it a powerful option to clear entire lanes of zombies.

Trivia

• Her Almanac entry references the importance of fire safety.
• Fire Peashooter and Chilly Pepper are the only plants from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures to be carried over into Plants vs. Zombies 2.
  • Coincidentally, they are both elemental derivatives of pre-existing plants.
• When she is watered in the Zen Garden, her flames are extinguished, revealing that her body is exactly identical to Peashooter's.
  • If she has her costume on, the stab on the fork handle will appear before turning back into Fire Peashooter.
• If the player watches closely, they will notice that when it is fed Plant Food, its fire burns zombies before it can even get to them in a similar fashion to Jalapeno.
• Despite the fact she is listed as female in the Almanac, notifications for the Frostbite Caves Part 2 Piñata Parties and an advertisement for getting her seed packets in a Fire Piñata refer to her as male.
• If Plant Food is used on her when a Piñata Party ends, the fire will stay on the lawn until the event is exited. The same happens with Red Stinger's laser.
• She, Laser Bean, and Bowling Bulb are the only plants to have their damage output changed in a subsequent update.
• Her Almanac entry stated that she dealt normal damage. However, its actual damage was moderate.
• If she shoots a fire pea and a Jester Zombie deflects it, when the pea destroys a plant there will be a burning animation.
• Prior to the Frostbite Caves Part 2 update, Fire Peashooter's Plant Food effect dealt 3500 damage and had a range of only 5 tiles.
• In Fire Peashooter's Tournament during June 19, 2023 to June 26, 2023 there are two frozen Fire Peashooters on the lawn, which is impossible to happen under normal circumstance as Fire Peashooter is immune to freeze effects.
  • This is the third freeze-immune plant that got frozen during Arena, the first being Jack O' Lantern, the second being Pyre Vine.
• Certain versions of Plants vs. Zombies 2 have an early version of Fire Peashooter with Dark Ages set as her home world, suggesting that Fire Peashooter was originally conceptualized as being a part of said world.
  • Her original design was also a simple recolor of Peashooter, meaning she had no flames on her body.

Specific to Chinese version (China only)

• In a teaser for the Chinese version, there is a frozen Fire Peashooter, which is normally impossible to witness due to Fire Peashooter being a fire plant.
• Fire Peashooter received two entirely new costumes in this version, with their singular International costume not being ported.
