Diving Deep into Infinity Time: Rewards, Strategies, and More in PvZ Garden Warfare 2
Infinity Time in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (PvZ GW2) is a unique and challenging game mode that offers a variety of rewards. Primarily, players venture into Infinity Time to unlock Party Characters, which are special variants of existing classes. Beyond these coveted characters, Infinity Time provides opportunities to earn customization items (both scrumptious and infinity versions), coins, and a sense of accomplishment as you test your skills against increasingly difficult waves of robotic enemies.
Understanding the Rewards of Infinity Time
Infinity Time is essentially a survival mode where you, playing as either a Plant or Zombie, face off against waves of Gnomes and robots within a shimmering, time-warped arena. The longer you survive, the more rewards you accumulate. Let’s break down the main categories:
-
Party Characters: The primary draw for many players. These are special variants like the Party Rose, Party Corn, Party Brainz, and others. These characters aren’t available through sticker packs; they must be unlocked by collecting character pieces through Infinity Time.
-
Customization Items: These include hats, accessories, emotes, and more. The visual flair you can add to your characters provides a fun way to personalize your experience.
-
Coins: Every run of Infinity Time, regardless of your performance, yields a coin payout. Higher scores and longer survival times mean larger coin rewards. These coins can be used to purchase sticker packs in the sticker shop, providing access to more customization items, consumable items, and character variants (excluding the Party Characters).
-
Infinity Packs: This pack contains 3 items from Infinity Time, containing scrumptious or infinity customization items along with a possibility of a party sticker character. This pack contains Scrumptious and Infinity versions of customization. It is also the only pack in which Party Characters can be obtained.

-
Teamwork is Key: If playing with friends, coordinate your classes and abilities to maximize your effectiveness. A well-balanced team can survive significantly longer.

Master Movement: Dodge, weave, and use cover to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
-
Exploit Weaknesses: Every enemy has weaknesses. Learn what they are and exploit them to your advantage. Some characters and abilities are better suited for specific enemy types.
