Heavy Bombs

Tier 2

Shells land quicker and create larger explosions.

This upgrade increases the travel speed of the Mortar Monkey's shells by 50% and increases the radius of their explosions by 25% (despite what the description states).

Direct Hit

Tier 2

Deal extra damage in the center of explosion.

Shell Shock

Tier 3

Chance to stun Bloons caught in explosions.

Mini Nuke'd

Raining Clusters

Tier 4

Bloons popped have a chance of spawning additional explosives.

This upgrade causes all Bloons hit by the Mortar Monkey's projectiles (including Burny Stuff's fire patches) to have a 25% chance (50% chance with the Level 2 version) to spawn four cluster bombs in a circle around itself. Each cluster bomb deals 3.5 damage and cannot crit.

Burny Stuff Path

Burny Stuff

Tier 1

Explosions leave behind patches of fire.

This upgrade causes each shell from the Mortar Monkey's main attack to spawn a patch of fire at its point of impact. Fire patches last for 2 seconds and cause Bloons to take 5 damage every 0.55 seconds while on top of them. The radius of a fire patch is the same as the blast radius of the shell that spawned it, factoring in the blast radius bonuses of Extra Gunpowder, Heavy Bombs, and Direct Hit if crosspathed. The Level 2 version of this upgrade increases the radius of the fire patches by 35%.

Violent Burn

Tier 2

Increase Burny stuff damage.

This upgrade increases the damage dealt per tick by Burny Stuff's fire patches by 100%.

Stripped Defences

Tier 4

Burny Stuff makes Bloons vulnerable.

This upgrade causes Burny Stuff's fire patches to apply a vulnerable effect to all Bloons it hits, making them take 20% more damage (25% more with the Level 2 version) from all sources for 1 second. Hitting a Bloon multiple times refreshes the duration, but does not stack the effect.
