Gamemodes
- Backyard Battleground: A hub world for the player,
which is a large map divided in two,
with the plants on one side of the Backyard and the
zombies being on the other. In the middle,
the plant and zombie forces fight each other
constantly, and is also where the 'Flag of Power' game mode is located.
The player can access the Garden Ops and Graveyard Ops modes through Crazy Dave's
RV or Dr. Zomboss' blimp in each side's base, and can access every other mode
through the Multiplayer Portal, where they can choose to play any mode solo,
private with friends or go online in multiplayer. The player can pick up daily
quests from the Quest Board to complete, can buy sticker packs from the Sticker Shop,
customize their characters in the Customization Booth, promote leveled up characters in the
Stats Room, complete quests around the Backyard and can also take part in solo story quests for
either Crazy Dave or Dr. Zomboss from any NPC characters. There is also a sewer system where the
player can find hidden areas and the new Crazy Targets shooting range.
- Flag of Power: A King of the Hill-inspired mode in which the player must defend the
'Flag of Power' from the opposite faction, who will constantly send out waves of enemies,
with each wave being more difficult than the one before. After each wave the player will be
rewarded with coins. In-between each wave, a crate will be dropped for the players to break
open, and doing so will release an AI reinforcement that will help the player fight.
The mode is endless so the player cannot actually 'win', but rather see how long they
can keep the flag raised. The game ends when the flag is dropped completely.
- Garden/Graveyard Ops: A cooperative mode where up to four players take control of each of the
plants defending a garden through ten zombie waves(or zombies defening a graveyard), with the fifth and tenth waves being boss
waves represented by a slot machine, hosted by Dr. Zomboss or Dave, either spawning 1-3 bosses, a jackpot,
a huge swarm of plants/zombies or a Super Boss. After that, they must run and survive to the extraction
point to be saved by Crazy Dave or Zomboss.
- Solo Ops: A Solo version of the Ops Modes, in which the player can choose up to 3
AI helpers and swap between them.
- Team Vanquish: A team deathmatch variant, where two teams
representing plants and zombies fight against each other to take down opponents.
- Vanquish Confirmed!: A game mode where players must collect
orbs from fallen opponents to receive credit.
- Gardens and Graveyards: A game mode where players
either capture (as zombies) or defend (as plants) various objectives.
Herbal Assault is the opposite of Gardens and Graveyards,
where players either capture (as plants) or defend (as zombies) various objectives.
- Gnome Bomb: A game mode where players attempt to secure
a bomb (strapped to the back of a helpless gnome) and detonate at various bases.
- Suburbination: A domination variant, where the objective is to capture three areas,
A, B, and C in the map. If all three areas are captured, 'Suburbination' occurs and the
team who captured them all get bonuses until they lose an area.
- Infinity Time: A cooperative endless mode where players either take control of a
giant robotic triceratops or a giant robotic cat, and must vanquish waves of gnomes to earn
Time Shards. Every five waves, the gnome king, Gnomus, will send out an imposter king for the
players to fight. Once defeated, the player/s will be teleported to a different coloured realm,
starting from blue, then going to green, then yellow, then red, then rainbow, in that order.
The mode doesn't end until all players have been taken out. The rewards the player/s receive
depends on the amount of Time Shards the player/s collected.
- Boss Hunt: a cooperative game mode that is usually held once a month.
This requires a team of 4 or less to defeat a boss that will have more or less
health depending on difficulty. The difficulty is chosen by choosing the normal,
enchanted or scrumptious version of the item on the platter.
- Cats vs Dinos: This is a last team standing style game with no respawn.
This is usually held once every month. This uses the same characters as 'Infinity Time'.
- Capture the Taco: This game mode takes place in 5 possible maps,
4 from the other modes and 1 exclusive one which is a modified Backyard Battleground.
This is a capture-the-flag style mode where each team has a taco to defend against the
other team. Each team must defend their own taco, as well as capture the other team's
taco by picking it up and taking it to the base at the back of the team's corresponding side.
This is a modified version of Taco Bandits from the original Garden Warfare, where only the
zombies were on the offense.
Storyline
Long after the events of Garden Warfare during the long, crazy war between Plants and Zombies, the Zombies have finally conquered Suburbia and renamed it Zomburbia. Now, for the first time in the series, the Plants are on the attack, and it is the Zombies' turn to defend their newly claimed homeland. Six all-new heroes join the battle with brand new abilities, from the past, present, and future. As a plant, your mission is to become an agent of L.E.A.F., by doing plant-based story missions. As a zombie, your mission is to become Top Zombie, by doing zombie-based story missions. This includes training with Agent Rose, Agent Citron, and Agent Corn or Steve, Super Duper Brainz and Ol' Deadbeard.
After completeing these missions, you need to gather 50 golden gnomes scattered across the many maps. Afterward, you need to go underground to the gnome cave (found under the Flag of Power) to unlock the door of gnomus. Then, a portal will appear, taking you to the Gnome Dimension. This is where you must complete 4 trials of gnomus: Trial of shooty-shooty, Trial of recollection, Trial of Balance, and Trial of hot doom. This will open a portal to two chests, where you can unlock the legendary torchwood, or for the zombies, hovergoat-3000.
