Plant vs. Undead is a new play-to-earn NFT game where instead of collecting virtual pets, players own Plants as NFTs.

Farm 2.0 in Plant vs. Undead
You can play-to-earn with Plant vs. Undead by doing the farming game mode.
The Farm 2.0 update has just released along with new mechanics and new ways to earn from farming.
To earn with farming in Plant vs. Undead, all you need is to spend 5 PVU Tokens to become a gardener.
PVU Token is the native cryptocurrency token used to purchase items or NFTs in the game. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to buy them: How to Buy PVU Tokens for Plant vs Undead.
1 PVU can be traded for 70 LE (Light Energy). LE or light energy is an in-game resource used to buy farming tools such as water and scarecrows.
To earn a profit, you can water plants 15 times a day or chase crows 5 times a day for other landlords.
When watering, you can get the following rewards:
- 60% chance to get 10 LE
- 30% chance to get 25 LE
- 9% chance to get 100 LE
- 1% chance to get 500 LE
When chasing crows, you can get the following rewards:
- 60% to get 20 LE
- 30% to get 50 LE
- 9% to get 200 LE
- 1% to get 1000 LE
Aside from this, players can now also become “landlords” with the Farm 2.0 update.
Players can buy Sunflower seeds, plant them on a pot and water them until they give out a huge amount of LE after a few days.
Watering and chasing crows also give out a small chance of dropping sunflower seeds.
Check out the full official announcement to the Farm 2.0 update here.
Once you’ve accumulated enough Light Energy, you can convert them back to PVU at a rate of 100 LE = 1 PVU, then sell your PVU tokens on crypto exchanges.
PVP and PVE Mode
While Farming is the easiest and only available method of earning in PvU, it is actually only meant as a side function for the game.
PVP and PVE modes in Plant vs. Undead have not yet been released, but it will be the main source of play-to-earn profit for players.
These game modes are scheduled to come out about 2-3 months after the Farm Mode is released (around late 2021).
According to the whitepaper, playing in Survival Mode (PVE) will have a chance to give you PVU tokens.
In Multiplayer Mode (PVP), players will battle by defending and attacking with zombies.
The winner will be rewarded with PVU tokens, and players who rank high in the leaderboards will also get season rewards.
Participating in Competitions
Aside from farming and PVP/PVE, players can also earn by participating in PvU competitions.
According to the game’s whitepaper, a total of 30 million PvU tokens are reserved for “platform rewards.”
These platform rewards will be used to incentivize players who earn tokens by joining competitions and other activities in the game.
It will encourage user participation and increase traction for the game.
Trading NFTs on the Marketplace
In Plant vs. Undead, players will grow and own plants as real NFT assets.
Each Plant in the game will be unique and will have a different set of stats and characteristics.
These plants will soon be available to be traded on the marketplace, where players can buy, sell or lend their plants to other players.
These transactions will also be done on the game’s internal system to save up on gas fees.
