'''Shrapnel Shot''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (Battles 2)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. With this upgrade, each shot from the Sniper Monkey emits 5 shrapnel [[projectile]]s from behind the target in a 45° angle spread. Each shrapnel projectile deals 1 [[damage]], +1 damage to [[Camo Bloon (Battles 2)|Camo Bloon]]s (inherited from [[Night Vision Goggles (Battles 2)|Night Vision Goggles]]), and can pop up to 2 [[Bloon]]s. Shrapnel does not deal damage to the target initially hit by the bullet.

[[Crosspath]]ing modifies the shrapnel:

A cheap group-popping upgrade. Like all Sniper upgrades, it's weak for its cost for early-game; however, it gains more value in its higher tier upgrades. In particular, it's the grouped stun/debuff crosspath for Maim MOAB and Cripple MOAB, and a decent group-popper via Tier 3+ bottom path.

To take advantage of the shrapnel, positioning matters. Make sure the shrapnel aims against the grain of the bullet. If the shrapnel goes opposite to the Bloons, often due to the Sniper chasing, the shrapnel will become useless.

If the shrapnel goes opposite to the Bloons, often due to the Sniper chasing, the shrapnel will become useless. Usually, depending on crosspaths, targeting First or Strong is typical for the Sniper, but Close may be necessary to avoid some instances of chasing Bloons.
