'''Focused Firing''' is the [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces the spread of the Dartling Gunner's shots by 60% and the [[projectile lifespan|lifespan]] of its [[projectile]]s by 40%. [[Crosspath]]ing with [[Rocket Storm (BTD6)|Rocket Storm]] reduces the spread of the ability's rockets, but not their lifespan.

'''Focused Firing''' is the [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]'s path 1 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade reduces the spread of the Dartling Gunner's shots by 60% and increases the [[projectile lifespan|lifespan]] of its [[projectile]]s by 40%. [[Crosspath]]ing with [[Rocket Storm (BTD6)|Rocket Storm]] reduces the spread of the ability's rockets by 60%, but does not improve their lifespan.<section end="lede" />

~~The extra~~ lifespan is ~~mostly only truly relevant for~~ [[Buckshot (BTD6)|Buckshot]] and above, ~~since the Dartling Gunner's darts can already travel the whole length of the map before expiring. Certain~~ gameplay elements that ~~adjust~~ projectile behavior (e.g. bouncing projectiles from Quest #2 of [[New Dart Just Dropped]] or the [[Bouncing Projectiles]] artifact, [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]]'s shield deflecting projectiles) may ~~still make~~ the ~~extra~~ lifespan ~~somewhat relevant~~.

Note that the improved lifespan is most noticeable on [[Buckshot (BTD6)|Buckshot]] and above, although gameplay elements that affect projectile behavior (e.g. bouncing projectiles from Quest #2 of [[New Dart Just Dropped]] or the [[Bouncing Projectiles]] artifact, and [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]]'s shield deflecting projectiles) may also demonstrate the increased lifespan.

Increased accuracy from Focused Firing improves consistency of each shot. In practice, it's way too expensive to be worth on a lower-tier Dartling without going for [[Laser Shock (BTD6)|Laser Shock]], but may be helpful to improve consistency for middle-path Dartlings, especially [[M.A.D (BTD6)|M.A.D]].

As for the extra lifespan, this is only relevant for [[Buckshot (BTD6)|Buckshot]] and above, and in that case it's usually bought in transition to the improved [[Laser Shock (BTD6)|Laser Shock]].
