Because it would be too specific to only be used for a zombie

All that and its still outclassed by the 3 plants you mentioned that are already in the game (peashooter is a bit of a stretch)

Don't you just love it when your Cactus shoots Sun?

Nah. Prefer moon

[@harryvpn1462]

this is probably a nerf honestly, now cactu's fire rate goes to shit whenever theres a baloon zomibie

[@qua_xor3348]

It would have been better if when a balloon zombie comes the cactus grows a mini machine gun to shoot the balloon zombies while still shooting the zombies on the ground.
