Is It Still Possible to Get Rainbow Stars in PvZ Garden Warfare 2?

Yes, it is absolutely still possible to get Rainbow Stars in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 (PvZ GW2), even though the game is not actively supported anymore. While the primary methods of obtaining them are tied to specific events, it’s important to understand the options available to players looking to acquire this valuable currency. Rainbow Stars are crucial for unlocking special characters, customizations, and other exclusive content, making them a coveted resource within the game.

How to Obtain Rainbow Stars in PvZ GW2

The Mystery Portal and Town Hall Events

The most common and initially designed method to acquire Rainbow Stars is through the Mystery Portal within the Town Hall. This event-driven area is where players participate in unique game modes to earn rewards. Here’s a breakdown:

• Mystery Portal Events: Inside the Mystery Portal, you will encounter various special game modes. These modes often have different objectives and rules compared to the standard gameplay.
• Rainbow Star Rewards: Your performance within these events determines how many Rainbow Stars you earn. Losing an event typically grants you 3 Rainbow Stars, while winning awards 5 Rainbow Stars.
• Monthly Availability: The Town Hall, along with the Mystery Portal, is not always accessible. It typically opens once a month for about two weeks, often around the second Tuesday of the month. So, players should keep a close eye out for its return each month.

Special Packs and Festival Prize Maps

While not as reliable as the Town Hall events, there are a couple of other avenues to acquire Rainbow Stars:

• Special Packs: From time to time, the game may offer special purchasable packs that include Rainbow Stars. These packs are only available if you have space to hold the extra stars. However, they may not always be available, so keep an eye out in the in-game store.
• Festival Prize Maps (Battle for Neighborville): Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville introduced a new way to earn Rainbow Stars through Festival Prize Maps, although this method does not apply to Garden Warfare 2 itself.

Utilizing Rainbow Stars

What Can You Buy with Rainbow Stars?

• Customizations: Rainbow Stars are primarily used to purchase unique and wacky customizations for your characters. This includes character item sets and costumes that aren’t available through other means.
• Prize Bulbs: If you are also playing Battle for Neighborville, Rainbow Stars can unlock Prize Bulbs along Festival Prize Maps.

Important Items to Aim For

Some of the sought-after items and unlocks available through Rainbow Stars include:

• Torchwood: This powerful plant class is unlocked by opening all 5 locks of the Torchwood chest in the Town Hall. Each lock costs 15 Rainbow Stars, totaling 75 Rainbow Stars. This also requires completing the 4 Trials.
• Trials of Gnomus Keys: These keys are obtained from the 50-Rainbow Star Chest in the Town Hall and are required to access the Trials of Gnomus area. Each chest has a 75% chance of granting a Trial Key.
• Unique Customizations: Unique and exclusive cosmetics, character item sets, and costumes. These are usually found in the in-game store.

The Rarest of the Rare

• Unicorn Chomper: While no longer obtainable, it is important to know that the Unicorn Chomper was an ultimate reward for players reaching rank 313 in Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare. It was considered the rarest and coolest of the cool, but as the game is not actively supported, it is no longer available.
