Sentry Gun is the Engineer Monkey's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. With this upgrade, the Engineer can deploy Sentry sub-towers within its range to pop Bloons. Every 10 seconds, it passively deploys a Sentry in its range, and each one lasts for 25 seconds (30 seconds with 
Vigilant Sentries). If possible, an Engineer will spawn Sentries at locations where the range of its Sentries can cover at least 20% of the track. By default, Sentries attack every 0.95 seconds, pop up to 2 Bloons, and have 45 range.
Crosspaths will affect newly spawned sentries.
- Larger Service Area: +4 range, for a total of 49.
- Deconstruction: Sentries deal +1 damage to Fortified and +1 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons.
- Cleansing Foam: Sentries can cleanse Bloons they hit, but will not grant damage to DDTs or shielded Dreadbloon.
- Oversize Nails: +1 pierce, for a total of 3, and changes the damage type from Sharp to Shatter, allowing for the popping of frozen Bloons.
- Double Gun: Sentries shoot two projectiles per shot.

Strategy
[edit | edit source]This section was last updated for: version 51.2
Sentry Gun is a fairly cheap early-game option that works well on maps where the multiple low-pierce sentries can concentrate within a compact area. Despite its wide deployment range, Sentry Gun is not efficient on maps where sentries cover many separated track areas, due to its somewhat erratic sentry spawns. Time is needed to create its maximum amount of sentries, for (assuming no buffs) up to two to three at a time, or three with Vigilant Sentries. Its cost is steeper than other early-game options, however it stands out on maps like Workshop that struggle to fit multiple 0-0-0 Dart Monkeys. Boomerang is preferred if Sentry Gun already pierce-caps often.
1-0-1 is an efficient crosspath for pierce of itself and sentries. 1-2-0 can be useful for extra MOAB damage, however the increased deployment area of 1-1-0 can be harmful due to spreading the sentry spawns.

Sentry: pierce increased ― 1 → 2
Sentry: No longer gains Camo detection after loading a save (bug fix)- Sentry spawner: No longer ignores smart placement if the Engineer Monkey cannot reach the track (bug fix)
“
Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made.

The MOAB offense of top path lacks for a mainly dps tower that is quite complex to use [...] the 320 crosspath will now be able to double dip on the Fortified & MOAB damage bonuses that it gains.

Sentry placements are slightly changing to improve their reliability, and will now spawn closer to the track depending on how much range the sentry has.

- Sentry deployment: Sentries now spawn within 20% of their range to the track
“
Middle crosspath feels too good for Bloontraps because of the massive quality of life it brings, so we’re pushing the DPS more for top crosspath by allowing Double Gun to also double the projectiles of Sentries.

This was becoming annoying screen clutter with large numbers of sentries, and feels unnecessary when you can overclock the engineer itself to create more sentries instead.
