Sprockets is an early game tower that has a steeper cost than [[Double Gun (BTD6)|Double Gun]] but trades it for higher DPS in its sentries. Like the rest of the top path, it's weak before placing all its sentries, and can do bad sentry placements due to RNG.
3-2-0 is better for building into [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]], having better single-target damage. 3-0-2 is better for the early game, stopping groups of Bloons, and more effective at the role than 2-0-3 due to sentry pins.

Sprockets is the Engineer Monkey's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It halves the cooldown of the Engineer Monkey's and sentries' attacks, effectively doubling their attack speed. It does not improve the speed at which the Engineer deploys its sentries. Additionally, sentries with Sprockets gain the ability to stun Bloons when crosspathed with Pin.

Sprockets is an early game tower that has a steeper cost than Double Gun but trades it for higher DPS in its sentries. Like the rest of the top path, it's weak before placing all its sentries, and can do bad sentry placements due to RNG.

3-2-0 is better for building into Sentry Champion, having better single-target damage. 3-0-2 is better for the early game, stopping groups of Bloons, and more effective at the role than 2-0-3 due to sentry pins.

Update history

For a complete list of Engineer Monkey changes, see Update history:Engineer Monkey (BTD6).
Icon of "the greatest challenge" This article or section uses Cargo to generate its content. It will automatically fill up as other articles are completed.
To add to this section, create the articles it is looking up. Do not add content to this section manually and do not remove this notice until you are sure this section is complete.
  • Buff Sentry: pierce increased ― 1 → 2
  • Nerf Sentry: No longer gains Camo detection after loading a save (bug fix)
  • Buff Sentry spawner: No longer ignores smart placement if the Engineer Monkey cannot reach the track (bug fix)
Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made.
— Update notes
  • Buff Sentry: deployment rate increased ― 7s → 6s
3-1-0, 3-2-0
  • Buff Larger Service Area crosspath now increases Sentry range by +4
3-0-1, 3-0-2
  • Buff Oversize Nails crosspath now allows Sentries to pop frozen Bloons
  • Buff Oversize Nails crosspath now increases Sentry pierce by 1
3-2-0
  • Buff Deconstruction: now grants all Sentries +1 damage to Fortified & MOAB
Additionally higher tier sentries will now be able to benefit from the xx2 Pin crosspath, so enjoy some laser pins.
— Update notes
3-0-2
  • Buff Pin now allows Sentries from Sprockets and above to pin Bloons
Engineer’s bottom 2 paths have a heavier support focus, so to start them off a bit easier we have shifted some starting cost out and into the non-supportive path. For the sake of further improved crosspath potential
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $525 → $575
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
The MOAB offense of top path lacks for a mainly dps tower that is quite complex to use, T3 Sprockets already feels underwhelming so is seeing a buff here carrying up to T4, and the 320 crosspath will now be able to double dip on the Fortified & MOAB damage bonuses that it gains.
— Update notes
  • Buff Nailgun: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.42s → 0.35s (attack speed increased by 20%)
  • Buff Sprockets buff amount to sentry rate increased ― 60%s → 50%s
    • Note: Attack cooldown of sentry decreased from 0.57s to 0.475s
3-2-0
  • Buff Sentry: Deconstruction's bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons and Fortified Bloons are no longer mutually exclusive
Sentry placements are slightly changing to improve their reliability, and will now spawn closer to the track depending on how much range the sentry has.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Sentry deployment: Sentries now spawn within 20% of their range to the track
This was becoming annoying screen clutter with large numbers of sentries, and feels unnecessary when you can overclock the engineer itself to create more sentries instead.
— Update notes
  • Neutral Overclock and Ultraboost abilities no longer target Engineer sentries
Really only one major change here; a rebalancing to how the 2xx Crosspath applies across various engineer upgrades, and some base stats being changed to accommodate fitting this.
— Update notes
  • Buff Sentry deploy: Attack cooldown reduced ― 6s → 5s
