|quote=The sniper has remained reasonably popular despite its nerf, although nothing close to the level of its glory days. While forcing a choice between high damage and cash generation paths was the point of the nerfs, it did leave Bouncing Bullet, a pure damage upgrade on the cash generation path, in a bit of a sad state. Without the extra shrapnel, we can afford to make the pierce much better without compromising the identity of the middle path. We also felt we could restore the bouncing shrapnel on the x5x since, as a tier 5 upgrade, it is automatically gated to the late game and can't be bought more than once. | |changes 1 tiers=X3X+|changes 1=*{{buff|Bullet: number of bounces increased|3|5}} | ||

|quote 1 tiers=*|quote 1=EZ Collect has never been a very valuable upgrade, particularly for desktop players or those using Banana Farmers where the collection radius isn't important. Quality Soil means that a 3/4/502 farm now has similar efficiency to a 3/4/520 farm. The former is cheaper and generates less cash, while the latter is more expensive and generates more. | |||
