The Plants vs Brainrots Plant Pantry Update introduces a new progression system, several exclusive rewards, and a brand-new rarity tier that changes how players grind for powerful plants. This guide walks you through every feature added in the update, how to progress efficiently, and what each new mechanic means for your long-term gameplay.
How the Plant Pantry Works
The Plant Pantry is a simple but rewarding mechanic. Here is how it functions:
1. Bring Plants to the Pantry NPC
You interact with the Pantry NPC and submit specific plants it requests. Each requested plant grants progress toward your Pantry bar.
2. Each Submission Fills the Progress Meter
Every time you hand in a plant, you push closer to your next reward milestone. The NPC rotates through different plant types, so having a wide variety prepared helps you avoid getting stuck.
3. Milestone Rewards
The Pantry is not just cosmetic. Completing the milestones gives you access to rare items:
- Size Potion — Temporarily or permanently increases plant size, depending on how the game applies it. This is a damage boost in most scenarios.
- Can of Kanaki Seed — A premium seed resource.
- Chef Shabellini Plant — A special reward plant earned for completing the entire pantry track.
Each reward feels meaningful, and completing the Pantry early gives you advantages in later updates.
Best Strategy to Complete the Pantry Fast
If you want to finish the update quickly, the focus should be on mass farming seeds and plants. Here’s the optimal approach:
1. Buy Seeds in Bulk from the Seed Shop
Whenever the seed shop updates, buy every seed you can afford. Prioritize quantity over quality because the Pantry accepts a huge variety of plants.
2. AFK Farm for Currency
AFK farming is the most efficient way to stockpile seeds. The longer you stay online, the more currency you build, and that translates to more plants for Pantry turn-ins.
3. Maintain a Wide Plant Collection
Since the Pantry requests a broad mix, having duplicates saves you from being stuck with a request you cannot fulfill.
4. Focus on Newly Added Plants
The Outlaw Crate plants, or any new update plants, are often directly tied to the Pantry’s requirements. Collecting these early reduces bottlenecks.
The Outlaw Crate and New Plants
The update introduces the Outlaw Crate, which contains several new plants and mutation opportunities, including:
- Neon Mutations
- Tomato Trio
- Other themed plants exclusive to this update
You can roll these crates for a chance at the newly added plant types. Many of them also appear as Pantry requirements.
If you are aiming to finish the Pantry quickly, the Outlaw Crate is worth opening because the new plants typically have a higher request rate.
New Rarity: Forbidden
One of the biggest additions is the Forbidden rarity, which now exists alongside Secret and Exclusive.
What Is Forbidden Rarity?
Forbidden plants are extremely rare plants that only appear through special boss events. They do not come from crates, and you cannot grow them manually.
How to Get Forbidden Plants
Forbidden plants drop from defeating Forbidden Bosses, which spawn during specific events or admin-triggered sessions.
Bosses include:
- Forbidden DJ Spinnino
- Forbidden Delinko
Defeating them allows you to obtain Forbidden-tier plants. These plants are extremely limited and mostly used for flex value, trading, and late-game progression.
Forbidden Bosses Explained
Forbidden bosses work similarly to standard event bosses but with two key differences:
1. They Are Rare
Forbidden bosses do not appear often. They spawn during events or admin abuse sessions.
2. They Drop Forbidden Plants
If you defeat them, you have a chance to get the Forbidden rarity plants.
Players often coordinate in servers to fight these bosses quickly because they disappear fast.
The Plant Pantry Update is a progression-focused patch designed to reward active players and collectors. By submitting plants, farming seeds, and hunting Forbidden bosses, you unlock powerful rewards that directly impact your gameplay. The new Forbidden rarity adds another chase element, and the Size Potion introduces a valuable advantage.
