'''Sprockets''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It halves the [[attack cooldown|cooldown]] of the Engineer Monkey's and [[Sentry Gun (BTD6)|sentries]]' ~~[[attack]]s~~, effectively doubling their [[attack speed]]. It does not improve the speed at which the Engineer deploys its sentries. Additionally, sentries with Sprockets ~~gain the ability~~ to [[stun]] [[Bloon]]s when [[crosspath]]ed with [[Pin (BTD6)|Pin]].

Sprockets is ~~a high DPS~~ early game tower that ~~struggles because~~ it ~~can't pop lead or camo~~. Like the rest of the path, it's weak ~~on the round it's purchased on because it does not immediately replace~~ its sentries, and ~~is more likely~~ to ~~lose because of placement~~ RNG~~. It's usually a better option than [[Double Gun (BTD6)|Double Gun]] with sentries, which has similar weaknesses but has worse DPS~~.

Sprockets is an early game tower that has a steeper cost than [[Double Gun (BTD6)|Double Gun]] but trades it for higher DPS in its sentries. Like the rest of the top path, it's weak before placing all its sentries, and can do bad sentry placements due to RNG.

3-2-0 is better for building into [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]], ~~and has~~ better single-target damage. 3-0-2 is better for the early game, ~~because~~ of the ~~extra pierce and~~ sentry ~~pinning~~.

3-2-0 is better for building into [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Sentry Champion]], having better single-target damage. 3-0-2 is better for the early game, stopping groups of Bloons, and more effective at the role than 2-0-3 due to sentry pins.
