'''Oversize Nails''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the [[pierce]] of the Engineer Monkey's base [[attack]] by 5 and changes its [[damage type]] from Sharp to Shatter, allowing it to pop [[frozen]] [[Bloon]]s. It has special [[crosspath]] ~~handling~~:

It has the following special [[crosspath]] bonuses:

*[[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry]]: Increases pierce by 1 and changes its damage type from Sharp to Shatter.

*[[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|Sentry Gun]]: Increases Sentry pierce by 1 and changes its damage type from {{BTD6 dt|Sharp}} to {{BTD6 dt|Shatter}}.

*[[Sentry Expert (BTD6)|Sentry Expert]]:

*[[Sentry Expert (BTD6)|Sentry Expert]]: Increases pierce of all Sentries by +50%, rounded up.

**Crushing Sentry: Increases ~~pierce by 6.~~

*[[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]]: Increases the pierce of Champion Sentries' plasma by 5 and self-destruct by 25.

**Boom Sentry: Increases the pierce of ~~the explosion~~ by 8.

**Energy Sentry: Increases pierce by 2.

*[[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Champion ~~Sentry~~]]: Increases the pierce of ~~the~~ plasma by 2 and ~~increases the pierce of the~~ self-destruct by 20.

*[[Cleansing Foam (BTD6)|Cleansing Foam]]: Increases the pierce of the foam splash by 5.

*[[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]]: Increases the pierce of the foam splash by 7.

*[[Ultraboost (BTD6)|Ultraboost]]: Increases the pierce of the foam splash by 12.

~~It has no special crosspath handling for the Cold Sentry.~~ Despite the "massivization", the [[projectile radius]] of ~~the~~ nails does not increase.

Despite the "massivization" referenced in the upgrade description, the [[projectile radius]] of nails does not increase.<section end="lede" />

Oversize Nails offers a large pierce bonus to the main Engineer and a decent pierce bonus to other attacks, and its capability to hit Frozen reduces anti-synergy with freezing towers, including the Cold Sentries of [[Sentry Expert (BTD6)|Sentry Expert]]. The extra pierce on sentries benefits the most during the mid-game, which assists cleanup when used on [[Sprockets (BTD6)|Sprockets]] or Sentry Expert and a further benefit if upgraded to [[Pin (BTD6)|Pin]]. It's less preferred on [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]] because that upgrade specialises in DPS, which [[Deconstruction (BTD6)|Deconstruction]] assists better in general, instead of supplementary damage. Extra foam pierce allows foam to strip properties from dense groups of Bloons more reliably, and Oversize Nails is cheaper than getting [[Faster Engineering (BTD6)|Faster Engineering]] by cumulative costs.
