Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.

With a game as rushed as Garden Warfare 2, some things were bound to be left to the way-side. Quite a large portion of that happens to be audio, with all kinds of sound effects, character voice lines, and even some funky tunes!

Unused Sound Effects#

Damage Booster Bot#

Unused bot that could've been used by the player when on the zombie team and at a build station. Has a lot of audio associated with it so it was likely close to being finished before being scrapped.

SFX	Notes
	Death sound effect for the Damage Booster zombie turret.
	Idle sound for the Damage Booster zombie turret.
	Spawn sound effect for the Damage Booster zombie turret.

Death Sounds	Notes
	Death voice sound effect. Has multiple variations.
	Variation of death sound.
	Another variation of death sound.

Spawn Sounds	Notes
	Spawn voice sound effect. Has multiple variations.
	A variation of the spawn voice.
	Another variation.
	And another.
	And yet another.

Laugh Sounds	Notes
	A laugh sound, might have played when it attached its damage buff beam to you.
	A variation of the laugh sound.
	Another variation of the laugh sound.
	Yet another variation of the laugh sound.
	Another... this thing likes to laugh a lot.
	Yeah you get the point.

Pain Sounds	Notes
	A pain sound effect. Likely from when it was attacked.
	A variation of the pain sound effect.
	Another variation of the pain sound effect.
	Yet another variation of the pain sound effect.
	Behold!.. a variation of the pain sound effect.
	Variation of the pain sound effect... again.
	Another... yeah you get the idea there's a ton of these

Jump Sounds	Notes
	A jump sound effect.
	You know the rest.

Zombie Shield Bot#

Another unused bot that zombies were supposed to have. Unlike the Damage Booster Bot however, it has far fewer sounds to its name, and no voice audio of its own, borrowing from the Boxer bot.

Sound	Notes
	Would've been used for when it was initially summoned.
	Idle SFX

Super Brainz reload#

Back in the beta, the Super Brainz class originally had to reload his fists before he could throw them again. (Sounds strange I know). This mechanic was eventually removed in launch build, and whilst the animation for it was turned into an idle animation, the sounds were left over.

Reload Sound	Notes
	One of the many voicelines that would've played when he reloaded his fists.
	Another voicelines from when he reloads his fists.
	He honestly sounds clueless...

Z-mech Reload#

Alongside the discovery of unused reload animations, the Z-mech also has unused sounds associated with reloading.

Reload Sound	Notes

Flax Cannon#

The Flax Cannon was a destructible player controller turret that used to be controllable at the final point of the driftwood shores stage. Most of its sounds were repurposed into other aspects of the sequel, although its destruction sounds were never used.

Explosion	Notes

Tennis Star#

In tennis stars first person sound patch, there's a sound that's supposed to play when he primes his weapon. However, Popcap set it's audio to a value of 0 (presumably by mistake) in the sound patch, and so it never gets heard.

Prime Sounds	Notes
	Is initially out of sync from when it starts firing, though can be made in sync by pitch bending it down slightly along with adding a 0.05s delay to the sound patch

Computer Scientist#

In Computer Scientist's first person sound patch, this sound is supposed to play along with all the rest when he fires his weapon. However, yet again, Popcap set its audio to a value of 0 so it doesn't get to be heard.

Shotgun 'Width' Sounds	Notes
	Sounds good in all of its 1's and 0's glory.

Yeti Chomper#

In yeti Chompers 3rd person sound patch, there's a coughing sound thats supposed to play along with the rest, although... you know the drill, audio set to 0 in the patch, can't be heard. It would've been played at a pitch value of 0.4.

Cough Sounds	Notes
	When not pitched these sounds are... strange

Giga Gargantuar#

This sound is supposed to play when he's firing the Power Pole weapon. Much like tennis star however, its audio is set to 0 in the sound patch, and so it can never be heard, ever.

Scream	Notes
	When modded back in, the sound is strangely wavy.

Zomboss Cat#

Specifically for the Cats V Dino's version of the mech, this sound is supposed to play along with the others when using the Tail Powershot. However, its volume in the sound patch is set to 0, so it can't be heard.

Static	Notes

Giga Torchwood#

In Giga Torchwoods sound directory is a file by the name of "GigaTorchWood_VO_Haha", which as you'd expect, has him going "ha ha". This sound would've been used when he engaged his sprint weapon along with being used by the mini torchwoods Sprint Smash weapon from 3rd person perspectives. However, given both of these go unused in the final game, these sounds are never heard.

Ha Ha	Notes

AI_PulseWeapon#

Leftover audio files from GW1 that were for a sunflower turret weapon shooting can be found alongside a weapon under the name "AI_PulseWeapon". Not to be confused with the dark flower who is already used, so it was likely another offensive turret that sunflower could deploy to shoot at enemies, though it seems dark flower was deemed enough.

Firing sound	Notes
	The main sound when firing the weapon.
	The sound played when you are a fair distance away from the source.

Future Imp Jump#

Future Imps jump weapon has a sound that goes unused, given his weapon also goes unused, because PopCap placed it in the wrong weapon slot. The sound is similar to Foot Soldiers rocket jump, though it is modified to sound more cartoony.

Jumping sound	Notes

Unused Music#

Various little jingles that would've been used alongside the rest of the games songs had they been used.

Audio	Notes
	Would've played during Story Mode on the Plants' side. Unused music setup implies that it was meant to be used as an alternate version during certain moments.
	A version of the above song for the Zombies' side. Same usage case as the plant version of the song.
	Takeover music for the Great White North stage. Only one song is ever used in the final game, regardless of what zone is being captured.
	Takeover music for the Great White North stage. Only one song is ever used in the final game, regardless of what zone is being captured.
	Takeover music for the Great White North stage. Only one song is ever used in the final game, regardless of what zone is being captured.
	Would've been used for the Noodle Nester Hat, although its likely bugged given the data suggests it should play.
	A short, dramatic song. Is located in Wolf n Pups directory under the name "wolfNpup_Wolf"
