'''Sentry Gun''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It grants~~ the Engineer ~~Monkey the ability to~~ deploy Sentry [[sub-tower]]s within its range to pop ~~bloons~~. ~~Sentries are deployed every~~ 10 seconds and lasts for 25 seconds (30 with [[~~Vigilant~~ Sentries]] MK).

'''Sentry Gun''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />With this upgrade, the Engineer can deploy Sentry [[sub-tower]]s within its range to pop Bloons. Every 10 seconds, it passively deploys a Sentry in its range, and each one lasts for 25 seconds (30 seconds with {{BTD6 mk|Vigilant Sentries}}). If possible, an Engineer will spawn Sentries at locations where the range of its Sentries can cover at least 20% of the track. By default, Sentries attack every 0.95 seconds, pop up to 2 Bloons, and have 45 range.<section end="lede" />

Crosspaths will affect newly spawned sentries.

*[[Larger Service Area (BTD6)|Larger Service Area]]: +4 range, for a total of 49.

*[[Deconstruction (BTD6)|Deconstruction]]: Sentries deal +1 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] and +1 damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]].

*[[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]]: Sentries can cleanse Bloons they hit, but will not grant damage to [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]] or shielded [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]].

*[[Oversize Nails (BTD6)|Oversize Nails]]: +1 pierce, for a total of 3, and changes the [[damage type]] from {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}} to {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}, allowing for the popping of [[Freeze|frozen]] Bloons.

*[[Double Gun (BTD6)|Double Gun]]: Sentries shoot two projectiles per shot.

Sentry Gun is a fairly cheap early-game option that works well on maps where the multiple low-pierce sentries can concentrate within a compact area. Despite its wide deployment range, Sentry Gun is not efficient on maps where sentries cover many separated track areas, due to its somewhat erratic sentry spawns. Time is needed to create its maximum amount of sentries, for (assuming no buffs) up to two to three at a time, or three with {{BTD6 mk|Vigilant Sentries}}. Its cost is steeper than other early-game options, however it stands out on maps like [[Workshop (BTD6)|Workshop]] that struggle to fit multiple 0-0-0 Dart Monkeys. Boomerang is preferred if Sentry Gun already pierce-caps often.

1-0-1 is an efficient crosspath for pierce of itself and sentries. 1-2-0 can be useful for extra MOAB damage, however the increased deployment area of 1-1-0 can be harmful due to spreading the sentry spawns.
