The Importance Of Consumables

I concur, there isn't much reason to not spam weed/zombie in offense,even if it just to summon basic browncoat/weed. It still the potential of one more person in the point which can make the difference between a capture and a loss.

As for plant bot/bot, those are situational. But generally they're annoying enough to distract people to destroy them. Also heal flower and heal bot are awesome,use them when you need health.

If consumables were easier to get then people would use them more. Last game it was very easy to get those fire peas, outhouse zombies, and barrel zombies. I spammed those all the time. Now I only have like 70 strong consumables and those reinforcement packs don't give much. 

I have a ton of weeds, but I am not sure where those get planted.  Are they used at all in the Backyard or in Garden Ops?

I love using the pot plants in the Garden Ops.

Still a HUGE noob!

Thanks!

The various Weed and Browncoat varieties are used in Turf Takeover game mode where they add to the attacking forces. Outside of Gardens and Graveyards or Herbal Assault they are unused.

As far as why they aren't used more often, I often here Players comment that they simply don't have any to spawn. A lot of us who talk here on the forums have high Ranks and hundreds of hours invested but I've noticed more lately that there's been an influx, at least on PS4, or brand new players who are still under Rank 250, sometimes even under Rank 100, and those newer players simply aren't going to have a surplus of consumables the way the more long term players do.

Totally agreed.  I've got zillions and try to stop and spawn them whenever I can.  Heck, you even get XP for doing so.  Mostly I find the ones with high hit points the most useful.

But I don't like getting too caught up shooting at them, as I will often be killed rapidly by the humans as a result.  I figure that's the front line objective guys' job, I play support.

I have like 200 browncoats and like 100 weeds yet I always forget to spawn them or someone else spawns theirs. Point is use them or have hundreds of them.
