In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', the Tack Shooter is classified as a [[Primary]] tower. The first path revolves around maximized attack speed and high damage, evolving into a fiery theme starting from the [[Hot Shots]] upgrade, replacing the role that [[Tack Sprayer]] has in ''BTD5''. The second path is the pierce-and-range hybrid. The third path relegates to maximizing the amount of projectiles per second, with additional focus on single-target damage, including the Tack Sprayer upgrade. In ''BTD6'', it has a Paragon called the [[Crucible of Steel and Flame]].

'''Tack Monkey'''<ref>Name of the "Tack Monkey Avatar" profile picture on the Trophy Store, in long as "Custom Avatar - Tack Monkey"</ref> is a monkey who operates the Tack Shooter. This monkey is not visible unless it peeks out of the cover of the Tack Shooter, revealing its upper body at most. Clothes are absent from the basic Tack Monkey. However, the Tack Monkeys for the [[Ring of Fire]] and [[Inferno Ring]] wear fire insulant suits, as seen in ''Battles 2''. The [[Crucible of Steel and Flame]]'s Tack Monkey is briefly visible when jumping into its machine after creating that Paragon, with it additionally being displayed in the Paragon's portrait.
