Spawnable plants and zombies following me

For some reason weeds or browncoat allies will follow me wherever I go, and sometimes I get a yellow or purple aura (PvZ Garden Warfare 2) and I'm not sure whether it is a bug or not. 🤔 Sorry if someone has already posted this or if it is normal but please if it isn't normal tell me what it is.

  • There are two types of Spawnable which will follow your character.

    On the Plant side the Nurse Weed and Flag Weed will follow any Player character; the Nurse Weed obviously providing healing while the Flag Weed provides you with a small defensive bonus, which is represented by that glowing circle.

    On the Zombie side the Heal Zombie and Flag Zombie perform the same function, only where the Nurse Weed drops Healing Drops the Heal Zombie carries a tank on his back which sprays constantly.

    Of the two spawnables, the healing variety will tend to leave you to follow another member of your team which needs their healing services, but the Flag variety will tend to stick with you unless you outpace them, at which point they will simply "attach" themselves to the next closest Player character.

  • It happens all the time and my friend and I joke about our own personal cheerleader when we play. It's even better when they suddenly wave their flag and 'cheer' when near you. It's quite amusing.

    The only thing I noticed odd between Zombies and Plants here is that while the heal weed spawns in the backyard the heal zombie doesn't.

    Thanks, I knew practically nothing about weeds and brown coats. I haven't played for very long. I thought it was a bug but thanks so much for your support guys.
