Full Metal Jacket (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Full Metal Jacket''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It allows the Sniper to pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[Frozen Bloon]]s, and increases [[damage]] of its bullet from 2 to 4. With [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]], this upgrade allows shrapnel to pop Lead Bloons and Frozen Bloons, and deal 2 damage each.

Full Metal Jacket is a versatile early-game tower, chipping away higher-tier Bloons and reliably dealing with the Leads of Rounds 28 and 30 on nearly all maps. However, more lead-popping defense is needed for Rounds 37 and 38 on shorter maps, such as upgrading with bottom crosspath, or buying another Full Metal Jacket. The 1-1-0 Sniper Monkey is a very cheap option to pop early [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] Leads, in particular those in [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]]. 1-2-0 Sniper Monkey's shrapnel helps to break apart groups of Bloons, especially multiple Lead Bloons, but is unreliable for precise damage and falls off when not shooting Bloons heads-on. Targeting on Strong is preferred for consistent damage to high-tier Bloons.

For crosspathing purposes, Full Metal Jacket benefits all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys by improving their single-target and layer-skipping, though preferred to further upgrade to {{BTD6|Large Calibre}} for maximum damage, compared to grouped damage via Shrapnel Shot. Middle-path Snipers benefit from the extra damage and lead-popping for all shots, however it prevents [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]] when compared to the benefits granted by bottom crosspath.
