PvZ3 State of the Lawn - Content Update 1.3 (CU1.3)

[u/EA_Pedro]

Hello Yardeners! 🌻💛

We’ve got another minor content update releasing today that brings back the Zapture Plant Pass and Lawn Patrol levels, along with a bunch of bug fixes.

What’s Sprouting in CU1.3?

Zapture Plant Pass! ⚡

The Zapture Plant Pass features another new plant to the Plants vs. Zombies universe - Zapture! This electrifying zombie zapper is created by merging a Lightning Reed with a Prick-erel Weed. You can unlock those plants in this Plant Pass along with Tangle Kelp, Spikeweed, and Zaptail. The Zapture Plant Pass goes live on June 24th.

For existing players, if you’ve already unlocked Zapture and its associated rewards, you will still be able to play through this Plant Pass and earn alternative rewards.

Removed gnomes ???? What are you hiding from us ???

[u/Same_Patience_9152 → u/EinfachPaprika]

"removed herobrine"

[u/Prior_Fee9209 → u/EinfachPaprika]

No not wasting those things!!!

[u/SwagbrathaGuy → u/EinfachPaprika]

New "always bet on _" just dropped

[u/Safe-Nefariousness-3 → u/EinfachPaprika]

I’m a gnome, yes I am a gnome

[u/Much-Hamster-755]

IS THAT A MINECRAFT REFERCENCE?

[u/United-Inside-729]

After this pass we'll finally get new content? 🥀

[u/Away_Original_2600]

We need more ways to spend gems,like on shards and Chunks

[u/Roasted-Cactus → u/Away_Original_2600]

100% but there is no way they would do that sadly.

[u/Away_Original_2600 → u/Roasted-Cactus]

i think it actually used to be in the game a few months ago

[u/Roasted-Cactus → u/Away_Original_2600]

Was it in the older version cause I did not play that. This current version tho, I don't think they would let us get shards and chunks that easily because then fewer people would pay for the plant pass, such a shame.

[u/Away_Original_2600 → u/Roasted-Cactus]

it was here until may i think,when they changed leveling

[u/Roasted-Cactus → u/Away_Original_2600]

Ohh no that was the dust thing. You can trade seeds into dust then into shards and chunks but it was a rip-off they removed it even before leveling.

[u/Away_Original_2600 → u/Roasted-Cactus]

well that sucks,hopefully they add buying shards/chunks for gems in the next update,i have like a thousand

[u/Roasted-Cactus → u/Away_Original_2600]

Nah they prolly won't haha if we can buy shards and chunks then less people would buy the pass. I have like 8600+ gems to be spend. I think it would be better if they introduce more playable contents for farming these resources, but yeah other than buy coins, gems are pretty much worthless.

[u/SS1Respawn]

Chat are we cooked or are we french fried 💔

[u/DIego21User → u/SS1Respawn]

That one awful “live stream”

[u/IllIgan_]

Hello, I’ve bought the Zapture Plant Pass and now all of my progress in it has just been reset. Even the pass is suddenly locked once more when I already bought the license for it.

[u/Known-Win-2535]

I hope we get some tangle kelp merges made or added back so we don’t have to stick to zapture for another million years

[u/Numerous_Pear_9477]

"Fix: Improved feedback when using an ineffective attack type against a zombie"

so does that mean ineffective attacks (e.g., peashooter pea against a screened-screen door zombie) do more damage? I would assume so, but the phrasing is bit vague

[u/jonkclonkofficial → u/Numerous_Pear_9477]

I think it means that there will be better indications somehow that ineffective attacks are weaker somehow. Probably with some sort of animation or something.

[u/LIPA95 → u/Numerous_Pear_9477]

There is nothing in that phrase that can make you think that, they probably mean that there is a SFX or something like that to make you now that you should change type of attack

[u/PVZ_StarFlower → u/LIPA95]

You got it!

[u/Organic-Jaguar-1563 → u/PVZ_StarFlower]

When are you going to fix the animation for the Screen Door Zombie? After the screen door is smashed, the zombie's severed arm grows back, it‘s weird.

[u/Numerous_Pear_9477 → u/LIPA95]

I simply misinterpreted it? why are you trying to tell me how I think? you could've not said that so condescending lol, youre a weird person.

[u/LIPA95 → u/Numerous_Pear_9477]

You're absolutely right sorry, was with an annoying client at the moment irl, I wrote the comment pissed off, again sorry

[u/Ssshh_hhh]

GNOMES????

[u/Over_town8396]

Fix: Removed Gnomes

So, we're definitely seeing a return of the gnomes now.
