The machine gun fires darts which deal 1 [[damage]], have 7 [[pierce]], and have an [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] of 0.05 seconds. These darts cannot damage [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] or [[Frozen Bloon|Frozen Bloons]].

==Strategy==
{{BTD6 last updated|56.3|section=y}}
Apache Dartship is an expensive but only decent T4 that takes down most mid-game rounds with ease on maps with one active entrance per round, due to its slow flight speed. Apache Dartship mostly stands out in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}} Least Tiers, where it can be a set-and-forget after upgrading from a buffed [[Razor Rotors (BTD6)|Razor Rotors]]. It struggles against Fortified MOABs on shorter maps like [[Chutes]], and falls apart against Round 76 without support. In [[CHIMPS]], Apache only serves as a saveup to {{BTD6|Apache Prime}}, which still has the map weaknesses, but it pairs well with [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]] as she greatly discounts it and the T5.
 
4-0-2 is preferred for optimal DPS as opposed to 4-2-0, whose flight speed boost is insufficient for multi-lane maps and [[Camo detection]] that is better bought elsewhere (outside of [[Least Tiers]] in {{BTD6|Contested Territory}}, {{BTD6|Odyssey}}s, etc). Not crosspathing is only necessary in Least Tiers scenarios.

==Trivia==
*It is likely based on the [[wp:Boeing AH-64 Apache|Boeing AH-64 Apache]].
*Its machine gun has a spin-up animation, but this does not affect fire rate.
