Large Calibre (BTD6): Difference between revisions

}}'''Large Calibre''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 1 tier 2 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the damage of the Sniper Monkey's bullets from 4 to 7.

With the [[Shrapnel Shot (BTD6)|Shrapnel Shot]] crosspath, the shrapnels gain +1 damage for a total of 3. With [[Bouncing Bullet (BTD6)|Bouncing Bullet]] and its subsequent upgrades, the bounce distance is increased from 40 to 80.  

Large Calibre is not recommended for standalone use, as it performs less single-target damage than two {{BTD6|Full Metal Jacket}}s (which are cheaper) and its ability to one-shot up to [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebras]] is not useful due to most early-game rounds having other Bloons. Therefore, it is only recommended as a crosspath for Tier 3+ Sniper Monkeys.

Large Calibre is the superior crosspath for all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys against [[Boss Bloon]]s (except [[Phayze]]) and when they cannot be placed so that they consistently shoot Bloons facing head-on and allow shrapnel to shine. However, when they can be placed in that way (on spots like [[Infernal]]'s right island and [[Muddy Puddles]]'s bottom-center portion), Large Calibre is the inferior crosspath outside of Bosses. For middle-path Snipers, Large Calibre is not recommended, as it prevents them from receiving [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]] and they favor the bottom crosspath's greater attack speed and synergy with buffs.
