'''Double Shot''' is the [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the number of darts fired by each cannon from 1 to 2. If [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]] is purchased, Double Shot also grants +1 grape per attack.

If [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]] is purchased, Double Shot also grants +1 grape per attack.

Double Shot does not increase the number of cannonballs fired by [[Cannon Ship (BTD6)|Cannon Ship]] or its subsequent upgrades, only granting +1 grape, because these upgrades remove the Monkey Buccaneer's dart attack.

~~The~~ 2-0-0 Double Shot is sub-par, being less cost-efficient than a 0-0-0 Monkey Buccaneer. ~~As a crosspath, Double Shot is~~ solid for [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]] and ~~its succeeding upgrades~~, though ~~before~~ {{BTD6|Pirate Lord}}~~, stopping at Faster Shooting is desired when money is tight~~. ~~However,~~ {{BTD6|Long Range}}~~'s pierce boost becomes superior~~ in [[Race Event]]s, as the extra pierce greatly improves the grapes and frags of {{BTD6|Cannon Ship}} and above. Double Shot is not recommended for bottom-path Buccaneers, which far prefer the increased number of projectiles from Grape Shot and more efficient damage from Hot Shot.

Double Shot should be crosspathed; a 2-0-0 Double Shot is sub-par, being less cost-efficient than a 0-0-0 Monkey Buccaneer. It's solid for [[Grape Shot (BTD6)|Grape Shot]] and above, though not very effective on {{BTD6|Cannon Ship}} and {{BTD6|Monkey Pirates}} due to only adding +1 grape and losing darts, but worth it for {{BTD6|Pirate Lord}}. {{BTD6|Long Range}} is less efficient on Double Shot than Grape Shot, hence Double Shot is the worse crosspath in [[Race Event]]s.
