Character variant [ Edited ]

[dragofire202]

Will there be character variants such as the toxic pea and the astronaut scientist? Collecting them and playing them was one of my favorite parts of the garden warefare games.

Variants will not be in BFN unless something changes.

Characters will have a pool of upgrades to choose from (only so many upgrades can be active at once) and can be saved in 3 different configurations per character (including customizations) but traditional variants we’ve yet to see/hear about.

@spIash_damage this sucks. No variants, no GW game.

Technically, this is not a GW" game. This is a Pvz game.

That will be one of the reasons they changed the name.

Personally I love the variants and collecting them all, the unique abilities.. However, there has been no definite information stating this will not be available in the future, maybe just awaiting full release in October before bringing even more surprises.

I'd wait until the release to say there isn't going to be variants. But, the variants were in the PVZGW2 beta so, I believe we are just going to have to build our own variants by adding abilities. (I'm definitely a fan of the pre-build variants and the fun of trying to collect them all)

Does the  current customization allow for something like fire damage of the pea?

I say that if enough players ask for it, they will add variants in the form of character upgrades that swap primary weapons and abilities.

Sample templates:

Electro Chomper: Swap chomp for an electric spray. Unlocks at Super Elite I; Costs 6 points.

Nec'rose: Allow Rose to charge shots to jinx targets, but do less damage on uncharged shots. Unlocks at Advanced III: Costs 4 points.

These are examples. I think if they do this, they will probably allow for 8 upgrade points and give characters 15 promotional ranks. Please do this, EA, your players will thank you.

I think that they should add variants as they were before OR, make it so that the costumes for the characters make it so the characters have variant like abilities

I bet they add variants later as a reward for the higher tier levels they'll have to add. I'm already level 173. I have 2 characters fully leveled. At this rate I'll have all the characters fully leveled in less than a month. It only takes about 10 hours of play per character. Needless to say, leveling up is a major incentive in player retention. They'll have to add some sort of reward for leveling up if they push up the level cap for each character.

It only take 10 hours of play !? Why do you say that like that's easy to achieve ? You must be a really young kid.
