Details

fires a 40 damage cabbage that bounces once. Each time the cabbage hits a zombie with Poison points greater than 0, it can bounce again. There is no limit to bounce times.

Additionally, each hit deals an additional 5×(target Poison value) damage, as well as adding an additional Poison point to the zombie.

itself is a -based plant, meaning that it gains the ability to reduce all bite damage taken down to a maximum of 15 damage, and will divert every zombie that bites it to a random lane above or below.

Pros
Cons
Splash damage hits multiple zombies clustered in the same area
Unique attack arc bypasses obstacles that ground-level projectiles cannot pass
Combines utility of both a catapult and a waste-based slow effect
Lower single-target damage compared to dedicated offensive plants
Arc trajectory makes it less effective against fast-moving lone zombies
Requires setup time before the first projectile lands on target
1 Position Garbbage-pult in back columns to maximize the arc trajectory and ensure garbage bags land on the most crowded zombie clusters.
2 Combine with plants that slow or stop zombies temporarily — a stopped horde gives Garbbage-pult ideal splash targets.
3 Use Garbbage-pult in lanes with armored or flag zombies where its splash effect can damage multiple armored enemies simultaneously.
4 Pair with lane-diverting plants like Garlic so zombies funnel into Garbbage-pult killing zones for maximum payload efficiency.
QDoes Garbbage-pult damage all zombies in its splash radius?
Yes, when the garbage bag lands it damages all zombies within its splash area, making it highly effective against tightly packed groups.
QCan Garbbage-pult hit zombies behind walls or obstacles?
Its arcing trajectory allows it to lob projectiles over obstacles that block straight-shooting plants, giving it unique positional flexibility.
QHow does Garbbage-pult compare to Cabbage-pult?
Garbbage-pult applies additional debuff effects from the refuse payload beyond raw damage, giving it more utility in extended combat scenarios.
QIs Garbbage-pult effective on all map types?
It performs best on open maps where its splash radius is unobstructed; tighter layouts may limit the number of zombies caught in each bag impact.
