*The update notes claim that the [[Mega Massive Munitions Factory]]'s damage "Main Spike bonus damage to MOABs" was increased, implying that it increased the damage it deals to all [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, but it actually only changes the damage it deals to the [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]]. The change to its mini spike storm correctly affects the damage it deals to all MOAB-Class Bloons.
*The update notes claim that the [[Mega Massive Munitions Factory]]'s "Main Spike bonus damage to MOABs" was increased, but its damage modifier to MOAB-Class Bloons is still implemented incorrectly and does nothing, so while the value was changed, it makes no functional difference. The change to its mini spike storm correctly affects the damage it deals to MOAB-Class Bloons.
