How Handcuffs work in Plants Vs Brainrots

Handcuffs are easy enough to use: equip them from your inventory and press the Left Mouse Button near an enemy to shackle them. If done correctly, the enemy will be frozen in place for a few seconds, leaving them wide open for your units to open fire. Handcuffs are quite useful for single-target enemies like bosses, as they will help your Plants pile on plenty of damage while they are frozen.

You can also use Handcuffs on high-rarity enemies, so that your Plants have more time to reduce their massive HP pools. That way, you can assuredly recruit the desired foe without worrying about your DPS being too low.

Getting Handcuffs is straightforward: submit the required Brainrots to the Warden in the Prison Event area to receive them. The Warden’s Prison can be accessed through a portal in your garden, which you can unlock for 1 million Cash. Walk through it and interact with the prison with the required Brainrot equipped to submit it.

Warden’s Prison is structured similarly to a battle pass, where you must fulfill one request before the subsequent one unlocks. Here are the different Brainrots you need for Handcuffs, as well as the stages you will receive them in:

• Stage 1 rewards you with 1x Handcuffs for submitting Alessio.
• Stage 3 rewards you with 1x Handcuffs for submitting Bandito Bobrito.
• Stage 5 rewards you with 2x Handcuffs for submitting Bombardiro Crocodiro.
• Stage 11 rewards you with 1x Handcuffs for submitting Orcalero Orcala.

You only get a total of five Handcuffs by finishing the Prison Event, so consider using them judiciously.
