  • Plants Vs Zombies was a perfect game! Flawless loop of tower defense game vs zombies with bowling, and minigames for every occasion! But today the spiffing brit will showcase how to break plants vs zombies as we discover if PvZ is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or if accidentally generating infinite money is broken and might be considered an overpowered bug or exploit for that perfect plants vs zombies gameplay! Now today we are going to be showcasing this video game exploit and playing most of the campaign of the original plants vs zombies and then showing off how to use the minigames to generate infinite wealth and finish the game! With the more modern releases of plants vs zombies games like Plants Vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville which moves away from the Tower defence mechanic and instead becomes a first person shooter game! A smidge like PvZ Garden Warfare or even PvZ GW2 ahh I miss Pvz2!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this funny plants vs zombies infinite money exploit Only challenge! And P v Z Campaign gameplay and guide on how to bug the game!

    In reference to the whole "potato" issue, there actually are two potatos in the game, technically, but the "secret plant" is the Imitater, but you dont plant it as a potato, you have to choose one of the other plants. Its usefull for Cherry Bombs, and Jalepenos, stuff like that, that has a long cooldown. I usually use them for defensive plants like wall nuts and tall nuts

      They're necessary to beat the game because it takes so long for sunshrooms to get going but the limited range and low damage is too much a sacrifice for them to be OP.
      Later in the wave you end up using them as meat shields, spamming them out when their cooldown completes while your peashooters do the real damage.

    It's a shame there was never a Tea Plant in this game. If there was I think I know exactly what it would do. It would be a support plant. Let me explain.
    The Tea Plant would heal adjacent plants over time and, while being healed, they would increase their shooting speed by 50 percent.
    However, Chompers would increase how fast they digest a zombie by 50 percent.
    This would mean you could place down a Tea Plant, that could be called, Healing Tea, to increase how many strategies a player can implement.
    Let tea drinkers have Healing Tea in Plants vs Zombies! There's a coffee bean so let us have tea!
