Mech Gargantuar

The Mech Gargantuar.

For the similar zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2, see Gargantuar Prime.

Mech Gargantuar is a new boss zombie in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It is a robotic version of the Gargantuar, and has very similar characteristics to both it and the Giga-Gargantuar. Piloted by an Imp, the Mech Gargantuar is heavily armored, and takes very little damage from most attacks, making it harder to vanquish.

Appearances

Garden Ops: As a boss.

Backyard Battleground: As a boss. Also appears in Agent Citron's 2nd mission as the quest boss wave.

Infinity Time: During Nemesis Waves and Boss waves.

Abilities

• Robo-Smash: Slams his dual telephone poles on the ground, doing electrical damage.
• Robo Charge Smash: Similar to Gargantuar's Charge Slam, The Mech zooms towards the Player with its rocket feet, and does an extremely damaging smash.
• Pulse Shots: fires a burst of 3 electric shots at the player.
• Bomb Shot: Fires a bomb at the Player that takes 4 seconds to explode, but does more damage.

Super Robot Wave

When the boss slots land on 3 Mech Gargantuar icons, a Super Robot Wave will occur. Zombot Robots replace all zombies in the wave.

Strategies

The Mech Gargantuar has similarities to both the Gargantuar and Giga-Gargantuar. Similar to the Gargantuar, he can quickly rush towards you and slam the ground, and like the Giga-Gargantuar, his ranged attacks and slam have electrical properties. Try to attack when the Mech is about to launch a bomb; Although it does more damage, it takes a long time to explode, and the Mech remains idle while doing this. Use similar tactics as you would the Gargantuar, however keep in mind that the Mech is completely armored, and takes very little damage when shot at. Always aim for the head: It's not only unarmored, attacks also do critical damage.
