'''Twin Guns''' is the [[Monkey Sub (Battles 2)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It halves the attack cooldown of its main dart attack, from 0.7 to 0.35 seconds.

'''Twin Guns''' is the [[Monkey Sub (Battles 2)|Monkey Sub]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It halves the attack cooldown of its main dart attack, from 0.75 to 0.375 seconds.

Additionally, it adds an attack speed buff for the Sub's non-dart attacks:

==Strategy==

The Twin Guns upgrade on the Monkey Sub is a pivotal aspect of its earlygame strength due to its rapid attack rate. It pops less total [[Bloon|Bloons]] per second than the identically-priced [[Barbed Darts (Battles 2)|Barbed Darts]], so if it is your starting tower it is recommended to purchase Barbed Darts first, but the Twin Guns can hit a single target twice as much and more reliably, making it good at handling certain spaced [[Bloon send (Battles 2)|Bloon sends]] such as spaced [[Yellow Bloon (Battles 2)|Yellow]] [[Yellow Bloon (Battles 2)|Bloons]] and spaced [[Pink Bloon (Battles 2)|Pink]] [[Pink Bloon (Battles 2)|Bloons]]. The Barbed Darts and Twin Guns upgrades are especially strong together, increasing the Monkey Sub's total power by more than 4× for less than 3× its base cost. Due to its rapid attack speed, a Twin Guns Monkey Sub is great at cleaning up Bloons that get past a slower-attacking tower, such as a [[Bomb Shooter (Battles 2)|Bomb Shooter]] or a [[Monkey Buccaneer (Battles 2)|Monkey Buccaneer]], preventing excessive leaking to the opponent's earlygame eco sends. Its fast attack speed also makes it great at activating [[Ice Shards (Battles 2)|Ice Shards]] when capable of popping [[Frozen Bloon|frozen Bloons]].

It is also the start of the generally preferred crosspath for both of the Monkey Sub's other paths. Submerge and Support's increased pulse rate makes it much quicker to decamo Bloons, which can be important on maps where the Monkey Sub's natural range has weak coverage such as [[Off-Tide]]. The Bloontonium Reactor benefits greatly from the easily-afforded increased attack speed, as does the Energizer who gets the same bonus. Ballistic Missile's Ballistic Missile attack is slow and unreliable on its own, so the bottom crosspath increases its attack speed while also increasing reliability with the rapid dart attacks.
