Pursuit is the Heli Pilot's path 1 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants Heli Pilot a new Pursuit targeting option. When selected, Heli Pilot tries to move just in front of the farthest Bloon on the track. If set to Patrol Points, the Heli Pilot with the Pursuit upgrade acts in Pursuit targeting if bloons are between the two points.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
This strategy section is empty or incomplete.
See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections.

Pursuit's automatic movement is mostly for convenience. However, it's strategically helpful if desiring hassle-free control over the Heli's movement on non-simultaneous lane maps. The player can then focus on other things, such as buying more towers in a short timespan or micromanaging other things in the game. For most Helis, the Pursuit upgrade is optional when going for Quad Darts to maximize DPS.

If the map has multiple entrances or exits, the special Patrol Points helps control the extent of Pursuit, reducing some instances of chasing bloons.

Icon of "the greatest challenge" This article or section uses Cargo to generate its content. It will automatically fill up as other articles are completed.

  • Change Pursuit no longer causes the game to freeze in Reverse (bug fix)
  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions
  • Neutral After changing targeting off of Lock in Place or Patrol Points, changing back returns the target(s) to how it was previously
  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Movement speed decreased ― 45 → 40
2-1-0
  • Buff Movement speed increased ― 67.5 → 70
  • Buff Heli 'patrol point' markers now visually update immediately after setting new points (bug fix)
Pursuit will now interact with Patrol Points in a limited ‘pursuit between points’, with this now you will be able to make your pursuit heli stay on one side on multi-path maps without getting stuck in the middle.
— Update notes
  • Buff Pursuit upgrades the Patrol Points flight pattern to a ‘Pursue Between Points’
2-0-5
  • Nerf Comanche Commander no longer deals +1 damage on 2 out of 4 darts (bug fix)
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
