|version=55.0

|tower=Glue Gunner

|changes 1=*{{buff|name=Ability|Number of Bloon layers affected by glue increased|3|5|note=1-4-0 and further upgrades unchanged (∞ layers)}}

|changes 1=*{{buff|name=Ability|Number of Bloon layers affected by glue slowdown increased|3|5|note=Other effects of the ability glue unchanged (damage debuff is ∞ layers and immunity debuff is 6 layers). 1-4-0 crosspath and further upgrades unchanged (∞ layers)}}

|changes 1 tiers=04x;05x

|changes 2=*{{nerf|name=Ability|Cooldown increased|30s|40s|note=X-5-X unchanged (40s). Glue Storm's initial cooldown when bought decreased from 23.3333s to 13.3333s.}}

|changes 2 tiers=x4x

|changes 3=*{{change|Description changed:}}

{{compare text|before=Popped Bloons that were glued stun nearby Bloons.|after=When a glued Bloon is popped, nearby Bloons are stunned.}}

|changes 3 tiers=xx4

|quote 1=With the 240 crosspath now providing MOAB Layer soaking, Glue Strike’s base ability will last through more layers before wearing off, but with a slower cooldown to match the T5 which already sits at a 40s cooldown.

|quote 1 tiers=x4x;x5x

Line 100:

Line 101:

|changes 1=*{{buff|name=Targeting and weapon selection|Desperados will now prioritize attacking Bloons with the Rifle over any pistol target}}

*{{nerf|name=Rifle attack|Cannot longer target Bloons in the pistol's range|note=This is implemented as a minimum range of 40 units}}

*{{neutral|name=Pistol ~~atttack~~|Range increased|28 units|40 units|note=Rifle range unchanged (80 units)}}

*{{neutral|name=Pistol attack|Range increased|28 units|40 units|note=Rifle range unchanged (80 units)}}

*{{neutral|name=Pistol ~~atttack~~|Range cannot longer be buffed}}

*{{neutral|name=Pistol attack|Range cannot longer be buffed}}

**This allows range buffs to not reduce the minimum range of the rifle, but prevents the pistol attack from triggering at longer ranges.

{{compare text|before=Attacks faster and generates lots of money per round. Monkeys in radius have increased sell value.|after=Attacks faster and deals more damage when over 50,000 saved cash. Generates lots of money per round. Monkeys in radius have increased sell value.}}

|changes 4 tiers=xx4

|quote 1=Buccaneer’s Merchantmen path will now gain a damage bonus based on how much spare cash you have on-hand. This introduces a fun trade-off where you can choose to hold onto cash for a combat boost at the cost of losing advantage from immediately snowballing into more economy. It’s kinda neat

== Notes ==

*The update notes did not mention the addition of [[Insider Trading]]. According to the developers, this Artifact was supposed to be cut from the update due to it being unfinished, but was accidentally left in [[Gentlemonkey Gadgeteer]]'s starting party.<ref>{{Cite|quote=yeah it should only be 1 new artifact this update, an extra one got in that wasn't fully finished yet and shouldn't be here|author=JoeyRainStorm Ninja Kiwi|date=jun 3 2026|url=https://discord.com/channels/187363008610041857/1339233070859157545/1511878010226085949|title=Joey on the Ninja Kiwi Discord|publisher=Discord|retrieved=jun 9 2026}}</ref> His starting party was reverted in {{BTD6 version|55.1}}, rendering it unobtainable.

* The update notes contain the following errors:

** The Bloon Layer increase for Glue Strike is stated to affect the top crosspath (written as x4x in the notes), but this crosspath is not actually affected.

 == Notes ==
+*The update notes did not mention the addition of [[Insider Trading]]. According to the developers, this Artifact was supposed to be cut from the update due to it being unfinished, but was accidentally left in [[Gentlemonkey Gadgeteer]]'s starting party.<ref>{{Cite|quote=yeah it should only be 1 new artifact this update, an extra one got in that wasn't fully finished yet and shouldn't be here|author=JoeyRainStorm Ninja Kiwi|date=jun 3 2026|url=https://discord.com/channels/187363008610041857/1339233070859157545/1511878010226085949|title=Joey on the Ninja Kiwi Discord|publisher=Discord|retrieved=jun 9 2026}}</ref> His starting party was reverted in {{BTD6 version|55.1}}, rendering it unobtainable.
 * The update notes contain the following errors:
 ** The Bloon Layer increase for Glue Strike is stated to affect the top crosspath (written as x4x in the notes), but this crosspath is not actually affected.
