'''Sprockets''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It halves the [[attack cooldown|cooldown]] of the Engineer Monkey's and [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|sentries]]' ~~[[attack]]s~~, effectively doubling their [[attack speed]]. It does not improve the speed at which the Engineer deploys its sentries. Additionally, sentries with Sprockets ~~gain the ability~~ to [[stun]] [[Bloon]]s when [[crosspath]]ed with [[Pin (BTD6)|Pin]].

Sprockets is ~~a high DPS~~ early game tower that ~~only~~ has ~~Lead and Camo weaknesses~~. Like the rest of the path, it's weak before ~~it can build~~ its ~~full set of~~ sentries, and can do bad sentry placements due to RNG~~. Sprockets is usually a better option than [[Double Gun (BTD6)|Double Gun]] with sentries, which has similar weaknesses but has worse DPS~~.

Sprockets is an early game tower that has a steeper cost than [[Double Gun (BTD6)|Double Gun]] but trades it for higher DPS in its sentries. Like the rest of the top path, it's weak before placing all its sentries, and can do bad sentry placements due to RNG.

3-2-0 is better for building into [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]], ~~and has~~ better ~~MOAB~~ damage. 3-0-2 is better for the early game, stopping groups of Bloons.

3-2-0 is better for building into [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]], having better single-target damage. 3-0-2 is better for the early game, stopping groups of Bloons, and more effective at the role than 2-0-3 due to sentry pins.
