ZCorp is Hiring! - Level 5 is the fifth level of the ZCorp is Hiring! event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

Difficulty

While 1.5 minutes may sound short, the player can get easily overwhelmed with Gargantuars if unprepared. While chilling or sapping zombies might seem like a good idea, Cardio Zombie can negate that effect. Difficulty swaps also come into play here, as Spicy and Extra Hot have different sets of Gargantuars. Heavy-hitting plants should be used for defeating Gargantuars and the Cardio Zombie.

Difficulty Swaps

In Penny's Pursuit, the zombies in a level can swap depending on the difficulty chosen.
