Latest PvZ: Garden Warfare 2 Patch Includes Character Tuning

Are things getting a bit dull in the world of PvZ: Garden Warfare 2? If so, the latest patch to go live for PopCap’s quirky third-person shooter should spice things up. Especially to those of you who enjoy using some of the underperforming characters that were introduced into the game.

As the recent patch looks to bring two of the latest characters to be introduced to the game Scallywag Pirate and Breakfast Hero a bit on par with the rest of their counterparts. Though, the aforementioned characters aren’t the only ones that are being looked at as PopCap is also toning down a few characters such as Electro Peashooter, Electro Citron and Tennis Allstar.

Below you’ll find the latest game play changes and bug fixes to be introduced into the game as of April 6th:

Bug Fixes

  • Sometimes Captain Squawk character stickers show up without his name, not anymore
  • Fixed endless Toxic Overload issue for Toxic Brainz ensuring it always times out as designed
  • Addressed performance issues around too many Party Imps appearing in the same session

  • Ensured proper difficulty level for the Red Gnome in the “Brothers Gnomus” Boss Hunt
