How Gears Work
Gears are equippable tools and weapons used to assist in defending your plot or interacting with the world of Plants vs Brainrots. Each gear item behaves differently — some deal direct damage to Brainrots, others apply stuns, or provide helpful utilities such as slowing or buffing allies. Gears are not planted like crops; they are used directly by the player and often have cooldowns or limited active times before needing to recharge.
How to Get Gears
Gears can be purchased from NPC vendors, obtained through limited-time events, or rewarded from chests and quests. Basic utility items such as the Water Bucket can appear frequently in rotation, while stronger weapons like the Taser or Carrot Launcher may require special stock or event access. Stock in the Gear Shop usually refreshes every 5 minutes, so check back often for rare items.
- Buy Gears from the Gear Shop or event vendors
- Equip them from your inventory or hotbar
- Use them in real-time to damage, stun, or interact with Brainrots
- Cooldowns limit how frequently Gears can be used
