As a young nut, he spent way too much time standing between two mirrors and trying to look into infinity.

Infi-nut is the fifth plant obtained in Far Future in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He has half of the toughness of a Wall-nut, but is capable of regenerating his health over time, provided that his projector remains intact. He is obtained after beating Far Future - Day 13.

Overview

Infi-nut's hologram can withstand 2000 damage; his appearance changes upon absorbing 650 and 1300 damage. He will regenerate his health after 15 seconds of not taking any damage, even if his hologram has disappeared.

Origins

He's based on Wall-nut and a hologram, a three-dimensional light projection which is often a staple of futuristic sci-fi technology.

His name is a portmanteau of "infinite" and "walnut." The word "infinite" can be pronounced /'ɪnfɪnʌt/ (homophonous with the aforementioned plant's name).

In the game's files, the Infi-nut is referred to as "Holo-nut." Holo-nut is a portmanteau of "hologram," referring to the fact that he is a hologram and "walnut," the type of plant this plant is based on.

Infi-nut's costume, a ghost trap, is a reference to the trap used to trap ghosts in the Ghostbusters franchise.

Upgrades

Plant Food ability (animated)

Plant Food effect

When fed with Plant Food, Infi-nut will restore himself to full health and create a force field in front of himself that will block all lanes. The force field absorbs a total of 10000 damage (5000 damage in the Chinese version) or seven (four in the Chinese version) smashes from a Gargantuar, and can also block flying zombies, similar to what Tall-nut can do. Note that the force field and Infi-nut are considered seperate entities; meaning zombies that ignore it and ambush zombies can directly eat the Infi-nut and potentially bring it down, so be ready for them. In the international version, only one force field can be present at a time on each column. In the Chinese version, the force field can be stacked, either from multiple Infi-nuts in the same column or the same one over and over again.

If the Infi-nut projector of the Infi-nut that summoned the force field is destroyed in any way the force field instantly disappears.

Costumed (China only)

He makes an additional force field two tiles in front of him.

Reinforce-mint effect

When boosted by Reinforce-mint, Infi-nut can absorb an additional 4500 damage, and its plant food effect will activate.

Strategies

Infi-nut's role is similar to Wall-nut: as a buffer layer between offensive plants and zombies. Compared to Wall-nut, Infi-nut can regenerate its health without the usage of Plant Food or Wall-nut First Aid and therefore requires less maintenance. His faster recharge also allows the player to set up defense earlier. However, Infi-nut is only half as durable and costs more sun, so he is less suited for holding off choke points either in Frostbite Caves, or generated by using Garlic or Sweet Potato.

The Plant Food ability is arguably the most useful aspect of Infi-nut, as it allows the player to fortify an entire column of plants against zombies without using up space, similar to Pumpkin in the first game. Additionally, the force field will stop a wide variety of zombies that can otherwise crush, disable or circumvent other defensive plants, such as Dodo Rider Zombie, Troglobite, and Punk Zombie. Even Gargantuars will need up to ten smashes to overcome the force field. Using Reinforce-mint to activate Plant Food on several Infi-nuts in different columns can effectively stall zombies to protect offensive plants behind it.

Infi-nut is a useful plant in Last Stand. Not only is he cheaper than Tall-nut, but he can also regenerate health and save the player's sun for other offensive plants, as said earlier. However, Tall-nuts can last four times longer than Infi-nuts and usually can last a whole level without needing to be replaced. They can also block flying enemies without the use of Plant Food.

Using Infi-nut is not suggested in Ancient Egypt levels with Explorer Zombies, as they can burn the projector as well as the Infi-nut, preventing him from coming back. However, the force field of Infi-nut's Plant Food effect cannot be burnt by Explorer Zombies, but rather force them to eat while holding the torch.

In Dark Ages, Infi-nut is the only plant that can survive reflected projectiles by Jester Zombies, as he can let the hologram die but not the projector and he can keep being delayed. He can also block Wizard Zombies with its force field, although the plant himself can still be transformed into a sheep.

In Big Wave Beach, Infi-nut's force field can be used to counter Fisherman Zombies, Octo Zombies and Surfer Zombies. The force field can block cast fishing hooks, force Octo Zombies to eat it and will force Surfer Zombie to crash land and deploy his surfboard. However, be aware that if a Surfer Zombie crashes lands in the lane with the Infi-nut, it will be able to crush Infi-nut and instantly destroy the force field.

In Frostbite Caves, Infi-nut's force field can be used to block incoming snowballs from Hunter Zombies. Besides, it can stop the advance of the ice blocks pushed by the Troglobite.

In Lost City, Infi-nut's force field is useful against the Excavator Zombie and Bug Zombie. Excavator Zombie cannot dig up or move past the force field and is forced to strike it, while Bug Zombie cannot fly over it. However, it does not protect against Lost Pilot Zombie and Relic Hunter Zombie as they ignore the force field and can directly eat Infi-nut.

In Neon Mixtape Tour, Infi-nut's force field can stop the advance of Punk Zombies and Arcade Zombies. Additionally, Infi-nut is capable of blocking the shock wave generated by Hair Metal Gargantuar regardless of health, and therefore will be crucial to the plants' survival in Greatest Hits. This also makes the shock wave attack somewhat of an asset to the player, as the Gargantuar will futilely continue to send out sonic blasts and will be delayed until the Infi-nut is destroyed. It is not recommended to use Infi-nut's force field to stop Glitter Zombies and MC Zom-B's as they can destroy it once they reached the barrier and if their jam is playing.

In the Chinese version, he can be very useful in Sky City - Ultimate Challenge because he can take most of Zombot Vulture Fighter's bullets without disappearing as well as some of the lightning ambushes due to his regenerating ability. However, he should not be used, especially in normal levels, if the player does not have many flying attacking plants.

Infi-nut should not be used at all in Jurassic Marsh as many dinosaur's abilities can render the plant useless. Raptor and Stegosaurus can kick or fling zombies past the plant, even with his force field. Pterodactyl can bring zombies to the back, allowing them to ignore the force field. Ankylosaurus is especially a threat as they can still push the plant even if the force field was activated and will instantly destroy the barrier.

Avoid using Infi-nut against Turquoise Skull Zombie as he will destroy both the hologram and the shield in one hit. However, the projector will still remain.

In levels with objectives that require collecting a certain amount of sun, the player can keep a normal zombie stuck using 2 Infi-nuts placed adjacently to each other, and keep the zombie on the tile forever until the player kills it. The holograms will take turns regenerating themselves. This gives time for the player to make sun in the final wave and thus completing the level easily.

Trivia

• If a Chicken Wrangler Zombie with his bailing wire intact approaches Infi-nut's barrier then eats it, the Zombie Chickens on him will visibly disappear, but they are actually still there. Once attacked, the Zombie Chickens will then appear and eat the barrier.
• Unless the hologram projector is destroyed, the player will never be accounted for the loss of a plant.
  • However, in Plant Maze II, letting the hologram itself disappear will count as losing the endangered plant, and the player will fail the objective & the level.
• If the player plants him over a damaged version of himself, he will not regenerate, but no sun will be spent which renders the Wall-nut First Aid useless on this plant. This was fixed in the 2.9 update.
• If a Swashbuckler Zombie lands and there is an Infi-nut in the fifth column while there is a presence of its barrier, the Swashbuckler Zombie will eat the barrier although the barrier is behind him.
• Even if he used his Plant Food effect and is turned into sheep by Wizard Zombie, his barrier will not vanish.
  • This also happens with the Octo Zombie's octopi.
• If he is on the lawn and regenerates twice, the player gets the Re-Re-spawn achievement.
• If Sweet Potato is planted behind his barrier and the player feeds her with Plant Food, attracted zombies can pass through the barrier.
• If Potato Mine is planted behind his barrier, zombies on the other side of the barrier can still detonate (and be killed by) him.
• He was originally going to cost 125 sun.
• Shockwaves generated by Hair Metal Gargantuar can pass through his force field.
  • However, Infi-nut itself will still be able to block such shockwaves, even if his hologram is not there, regardless of health.
• If he swaps place with an Escape Root while he has a barrier in front of him, the barrier will remain in place.
• Before the Power Plants update, Infi-nut will be burnt if planted on Fire Tile and blown away when planted on Boulder Tile, both those 2 situations will kill his hologram with the projector. After that said update, only his hologram will be destroyed if planted on a Trap tile.
