'''Bloon Exclusion Zone''' is the [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It gains two extra turrets, six in total, effectively granting 1.5x attack speed (from 0.~~375s~~ to 0.~~25s~~) compared to [[Bloon Area Denial System (BTD6)|Bloon Area Denial System]], and has even more pierce (4 to 6), damage (4 to 8), and projectiles per shot (6 to 12). All barrels are even taller than the predecessor, the tallest at 42 z-units. The increased height allows some barrels to pass over certain obstacles. The "Target Independent" targeting option is modified to target First, Last, Close, Strong, First, Strong.

If crosspathed with [[Laser Shock (BTD6)|Laser Shock]], the bonus shocked damage and damage-over-time are both increased from +3 to +6.

If crosspathed with [[Laser Shock (BTD6)|Laser Shock]], the bonus shocked damage and damage-over-time are both increased from +2 to +4.

~~The~~ Bloon Exclusion Zone ~~transitions the bottom path dartling from a mid~~ game carry ~~to an even stronger but expensive tower that can defeat the~~ late game ~~on most maps~~. It ~~is effective against both [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]~~ and ~~[[Super Ceramic Bloon (~~BTD6)|~~Super Ceramic Bloons]]~~, but ~~has a major weakness in being unable~~ to damage [[DDT (BTD6)|~~DDTs]] without means to allow it to~~ damage ~~Lead Bloons~~. ~~Therefore,~~ it should be paired with ~~towers~~ such as ~~the~~ [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]].

Bloon Exclusion Zone is an expensive late game carry with incredible late-game damage and knockback. It can easily handle dense rounds and even the {{BTD6|BAD}}, but needs support to damage {{BTD6|DDT}}s. {{BTD6|Acidic Mixture Dip}} is the cheapest option and also boosts its damage, though this can be difficult space-wise. In this case it should be paired with 4 AMDs, two 2-2-0 and two 2-0-1, all isolated to only give AMD to the BEZ, with one upgraded to {{BTD6|Stronger Stimulant}}. Other anti-Lead options such as {{BTD6|Embrittlement}}, [[Glue Strike (BTD6)|Glue Strike]], or [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] still work. {{BTD6|Overclock}} is also a great support option for it, but is expensive to get given its own high cost.

~~Even though it~~ is ~~still a useful tower with minimal support~~, the ~~Bloon Exclusion Zone benefits greatly from towers such as~~ [[~~Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew~~]] and ~~[[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]], enhancing its DPS~~.

Bloon Exclusion Zone is best placed near the end of tracks to shoot into bloons to more effectively handle Ceramics. It has great range, but is not quite global range when placed near the edge of the map. It is an especially great pick on [[Sanctuary]] due to the central choke point and center bloons spreading out allowing for all of the buckshot to hit targets.

~~Bloon Exclusion Zone is best placed near the end of tracks where it can shoot at the bloons in a~~ straight ~~line so that it can consistently pop waves of fast moving bloons~~.

2-0-5 does significantly more damage than 0-2-5 and gets better AMD uptime. Increased accuracy from [[Focused Firing (BTD6)|Focused Firing]] also greatly improves its damage output when firing down straight lines. 0-2-5's greater rate of Ceramic knockback is less relevant than extra raw damage due to BEZ's role shifting to high damage, unlike its predecessor, [[Bloon Area Denial System (BTD6)|Bloon Area Denial System]].

~~The best crosspath for this tower is usually~~ 2-0-5~~, as the laser shock~~ is ~~a slightly greater DPS increase~~ than ~~faster firing~~.
