Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Pepper-pult - December 2022

This Penny's quest focuses on the CORE plant Pepper-pult and was offered between between November 30, 2022 and December 13, 2022

Pepper-pult is a member of the Pepper-Mint family.
Costs 200 Sun. (175 at level 3, 150 at level 8)
Lobs a flaming pepper dealing 50 damage to the zombie it hits. (+10 per level.)
Said flaming pepper does 10 splash damage in a 3x3 area. (+2 per level.)
Pepper-pult can not be frozen and will thaw adjacent frozen blocks.

Commentary:
A Cabbage-pult which can not be frozen. Necessary on certain levels.

Bottom Line:
To be blunt, this plant needs some help. For less Sun (175), one can purchase a Fire Peashooter. This peashooter has all the anti-freezing capabilities of Pepper-Pult but does 40 damage instead of 50. This doesn't sound all that great until you realize that Fire Peashooter shoots over twice as fast as Pepper-pult.

Unless the level requires anti-freezing and has Excavator zombies (immune to peas), there is no reason to select this over Fire Peashooter.
