https://www.pvzgw2.com/news/february-free-content-updateGet ready to be bewitched by beauty, GW2 fans. The dark-magic prince of plants is here, and his name is Twilight Chomper! An enigmatic counterpart to the infamous Unicorn Chomper, you can earn this majestically mystical variant in game February 14–20 – be sure to check your in-game inbox for more details coming soon! Note that Twilight Chomper will not affect your max rank.Are you one of the lucky players who earned the extra-rare Unicorn Chomper when Garden Warfare 2 first released? Well, you’re about to get even luckier, because we’re gifting you Twilight Chomper when you log in by February 28! Every player will also have the chance to pick up this unusual unicorn, plus other amazing items, inside the Midnight Snack Upgrade, available in the Xbox, PlayStation, and Origin stores starting February 21. Don’t miss out on the magic.Since I love chomper, I can't wait for this....totally excited.It seems free for the one already has unicorn chomper but you have to pay for other player.I open this thread especially to discuss this chomper.....let me know what you guys think.

I believe there is 3 ways to get him. Have UC already, earn him in game February 14–20 or buy the Mystical upgrade pack." ...you can earn this majestically mystical variant in game February 14–20 – be sure to check your in-game inbox for more details coming soon! "

At first I was confused about what they said about this character not adding levels to max rank. It would seem that this is their way of letting players who do not have unicorn to make max rank without him. If you're already 5455, it won't add anything to your rank. If correct, I think this was a great compromise. I predict it will essentially just be a re-skin of unicorn chomper. My read of the ways to unlock him matches up with the above post. I wonder how we will unlock him during that week? Rux? Sticker packs? I reckon it's going to cost a very pretty penny. Lastly, I don't care for this recent trend of having new things in the game available for only a short window of time. If you can't play during that one week and earn enough to unlock the character, then you have to pay with real money. Not a very nice way to arrange things, in my view.

My fav chomper is hot rod because of his speed, next is a unicorn because of his warp. I love the scientist because of his warp.if Twilight has the warp, I will go wild with it :1. Warp, spike, eat...yum2. Warp, goop, eat....yum3. Goop, warp, eat...yum4. Warp, eat, warp, hide....can't catch me.

Probably the most annoying and despised of all characters in the game, but nevertheless PopCap feel the need to foist another variant of these infuriating characters on the community in order to satisfy the needs of the majority of chomper players who as suicide chompers seemingly have difficulty in playing anything else. That's one thing, but secondly, after 3 years of desperate and occasionally misplaced adjustments, the game's characters now seem reasonably balanced. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the new chomper's introduction heralds yet another round of cack-handed adjustments.

I'm indifferent to a new Chomper. I like all the characters in GW but Chomper has been my least favorite pretty much the entire time. Too much a one-trick pony and I'd rather play another plant most of the time.

Any ideas if it will unlock Chomper's Warp ability? The one the Unicorn uses? Or will this just be a reskinned Rhino? : P I'd love to have that teleport ability in my collection...

A new character is a good thing. I hope the way to unlock it won't be rng based. A quest would be cool. If Rux sells it then i hope it won't be too expensive, even though i have about a million coins in reserve for this type of scenario 😃

Reply from Popcap_Shaun on Reddit when someone asked how Twilight chomper would be earned:

"It won't be a cakewalk! The goal will be player vanquishes via the community challenge. You'll need to hit a high (personal) threshold of player vanquishes over the period of one week. Not everyone is going to get it! The good news is that you'll have 7 stages of Wal-Nut goodness to grind it out on. 🙂"

Looks like it may be a busy week 😃 guess we will need to wait and see....

i love Chompers a lot, that's why they're all mastered in my game, and the most played plant variant is the Yeti Chomper for me, also i succeed to max rank the Unicorn one, thanks to the events where i had chance to play with it, still i got the feeling that this would be the nightmare week for the Zombies side with this Twilight Chomper, ouch ^_^
