In ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', the {{Mobile version|BTD5}} of ''BTD5'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', the {{mobile version|Bloons TD Battles}} of ''BTDB'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Dartling Gun returns with two upgrade paths. The first path retains the same conversion to laser shots, with the tier 4 upgrade converting again to a solid laser beam. The second path instead converts the darts into missiles which explode on impact, with the tier 4 upgrade increasing the amount of rockets fired greatly.

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', The Dartling Gunner is classified as a [[Military]] tower. In BTD6, it was introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 v22.0|v22.0]] and in BTDB2, it was available from launch. In Bloons TD 6, it can be unlocked through popping bloons, requiring 3,000,000 bloons to be popped. The first path shoots lasers to pop the bloons, like its ''Bloons TD 5'' counterpart. The second path shoots missiles that can pop any type of bloon and eventually deal massive damage to [[MOAB Class Bloon|MOAB Class Bloons]]. The third path shoots buckshot that can knock back bloons.

===Overview===
<li>
Dartling Gunners are more specialized than other monkeys. In fact, they're only available after popping Bloons because they only want to work with an experienced player.<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 16th September 2022|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/xfelgp/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_16th_september_2022/}} </ref> This is reflected in their weapons too. The guns have little to no recoil because of high-tech inertia damping and their strong forearms.<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 26th April 2024 Blog|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/1cd6hrl/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_26th_april_2024_blog/}}</ref> Since their guns are so heavy, Dartling Gunners have to learn how to wield them from Pat. Also, the guns are not designed for projectiles other than darts and have muzzle flash because of how fast they shoot.<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi? - 11th December, 2020|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201230115213/http://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173410-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-11th-december-2020}}</ref> Sniper Monkeys actually prank them by replacing their darts with bullets, but this jams the guns (Dartling Gunners are obviously not amused by this).<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi -10th March 2023|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/11n9ura/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_10th_march_2023/}}</ref> They also tried using hot grapes from buccaneers but it didn't work out.<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 12th May 2023|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/13f5xqn/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_12th_may_2023/}}</ref> They seem to have an attachment to their guns, often referring to them as "lazy susans".<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 18th November 2022|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/yy6dgl/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_18th_november_2022/}}</ref>  
Dartling Guns are not designed for other projectiles. They tried using hot grapes from the buccaneer but it didn't work out.<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 12th May 2023|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/13f5xqn/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_12th_may_2023/}}</ref> Every April Fools, Sniper Monkeys replace their darts with bullets, jamming them. (Dartling Gunners do not find this amusing)<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi -10th March 2023|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/11n9ura/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_10th_march_2023/}}</ref>

Some of the weapons Dartling Gunners use were invented by Dr. Monkey. In particular, the Ray of Doom has a recliner chair that uses La-Z-Monkey technology. According to Dartling Gunners it feels like relaxing on a cloud.<ref>{{Cite|publisher=Ninja Kiwi|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi? - 3rd December, 2021|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220126092623/http://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173458-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-3rd-december-2021}}</ref>
