My History With PvZ Heroes
I first saw PvZ Heroes in the Google Play Store back in 2017 and I was instantly hooked. I started playing constantly and I actually had a legit account that I paid 100s of dollars to upgrade. I had Huge Giganticus AND Beta Carot Girl with tons of cards to use. The joy I got when I pulled those 2 heroes was the best.
Though with all that said… I still didn’t have everything. I played through tons of seasons for years and I still didn’t have much. I was more of a plant person, so every zombie legendary I got, immediately was scraped. It takes 4K Sparks (In Game Currency) to craft 1 Legendary card and there are at least 100 of them. My options were very limited, but I still had fun.
It’s nice to manually progress in a game yourself, but if it’s an EA game, you’re going to be tempted to cheat sometimes since they cheat their players all the time. I would constantly be on the look out for PvZ Heroes modded apks or some type of cheats. I wasn’t fortunate enough to find much, but after awhile one day, I saw a couple of videos showing “How to get every hero” and then not short after, “How to get every card” and I was shocked. I already knew how to root android phones so this appealed to me instantly.
People have discovered that if you edit some of the in game files through hex editor, you can do many different things. Can you believe that? It was that easy! Well that’s what I thought at first. The process is pretty tough if you don’t have the right resources. I tried over and over again, but I couldn’t figure it out.
You need to root your phone, find the right files, learn how to update those files, figure out the right paths, learn how to tweak the game files and somehow, put that all together. Like everything in life, it takes time and practice and guess what? I did eventually figure it out. I finished putting everything together after MONTHS of trying and boom. I officially created my first hacked deck. It was pure wallnuts, but damn did it feel good. It didn’t stop there though. I went back to my old hard drive and found all the old files from the previously mentioned videos.
I tried to use the hacked deck ones but they didn’t work. My game would crash as soon as I even added them or if it didn’t crash, the “hack” wouldn’t even work. I was so confused and went straight to Google. After a bit of searching and sifting through the files, I noticed the game files were updated with a new version. Some people suggest changing the name of these files to the latest, but that didn’t do anything.
I eventually discovered an asset editor…
A bunch of rambling, but my point is that PvZ Heroes modding is a pain in the ass. If I could have bought a maxed out account instead of paying 100s of dollars to get cards a couple of years ago, I would have done it in an instant.
PvZ Heroes might not be as popular as it used to be, but have you ever seen FryEmUp? His PvZ Heroes videos still get 100K+ views. That’s wild and shows much hope for the future.
Don’t waste your time like I did.
