DM
Peashooter's rapid fire and ricocheting peas should be used as an advantage in closed areas. It is not recommended to stay for too long in open areas, especially if there are PF Chompers nearby. Chili Bean Bomb should be used in closed areas but with caution.

Team
A Peashooter Duo/Trio can really suppress enemies with a pea nightmare, reaching them everywhere. Hyper ability should be used to retreat if you are outnumbered in current situation, or to quickly get to team mate's position to help them.

CTF (Offensive)
Peashooter's Hyper ability comes handy in stealing enemy flag. Important note: don't activate the ability to get to enemy flag zone, you have to activate the ability just before taking enemy flag, to quickly get out of enemy base. It is recommended to have Sunflower's Spirit Link activated on you to keep you alive.

CTF (Defensive)
Chili Bean Bomb and ricocheting rapid fire can be used to lure out enemy flagkeeper from hiding spots.

BTB
Peashooter is popular in BTB due to its Hyper ability, which allows to quickly get a dynamite to enemy base, often unexpected for enemy. Chili Bean Bomb is also useful, since POW explosions trigger dynamites.

Co-op
Peashooter has proven its versatility in Co-op, thanks to: ricocheting rapid fire, which deals with zombies fast; Hyper ability to quickly help teammates and Chili Bean Bomb, which can be fired ahead of your movement so that chasing enemies get rekt into the explosion.
