The Bottle of 'Gerry's Fire' Hot Sauce is a Geraldo's Shop item in Bloons TD 6. It applies a buff to a tower, providing it a Hot Sauce sub-tower for 5 rounds. This sub-tower orbits the tower and shoots fiery projectiles with an attack cooldown of 0.1 seconds and a range of 50 units. Its projectiles deal 1 Plasma[fn 1] damage with 4 pierce, and +1 Ceramic damage. It also applies a burn damage-over-time effect to affected Bloons, dealing 1 damage per 1.5 seconds for 3.1 seconds. The sub-tower can only attack Camo Bloons if its base tower has Camo detection. It is able to see through walls, and always targets First no matter the targeting of its base tower.

At level 16 the buff's duration is upgraded from 5 to 10, and the sub-tower's burn damage over time is upgraded from 1 to 3. An upgraded version of the buff may not be applied to a tower with an inferior version.

The editor who added this notice elaborates: Turbo nerf from the rework nerfs the interaction with gerryfire
This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Gerry's Fire effectively adds a Dragon's Breath attack to the target tower, which can be useful during mid-game even unbuffed but sees its main value in buffs. It receives all buffs applied to the base tower besides Alch buffs, for similar potential to Total Transformation but being able to be used on any tower. Shinobi Tactics and Poplust give strong stacking buffs to each other that greatly improves late game Gerry's Fire spam, while Turbo Charge multiplies its attack speed greatly during the ability. Most other abilities and base upgrades do not synergize as well, as Gerry's Fire cannot copy new attacks (e.g. Spike Storm), and something like Smart Spikes has too short of a duration to last a whole round. Other buffs such as Sub Commander or Elite Sniper are weaker than its main synergies.

It is a staple in 2 MegaPops challenges to get around bloon immunities and shore up weak main attacks from lower tier towers during mid-game and late game, as pops are attributed to the tower the item is applied to rather than Geraldo.

  • Buff No longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
  • Change All of Geraldo's temporary buff effects now display buff icons to their applied tower with stack count numbers representing their remaining round durations
  • Buff Can now target and hit Camo if the tower it is applied to has Camo detection
  • Neutral Now attaches to the air units of Aces and Helis instead of their landing pads
  • Nerf Cost increased ― $500 → $600
Geraldo has been far too powerful for a while and all-round nerfs are coming to many outstanding aspects, however in return a little quality of life is coming with some more forgiving stock capacities [...]
— Update notes
  • Nerf Levels 8–15: Duration reduced ― 10 rounds → 5 rounds (remains 10 rounds at levels 16+)
  • Nerf Can no longer be placed on Symphonic Resonance totems (bug fix)
  • Nerf Cost increased ― $600 → $650
