'''Supply Drop''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (Battles 2)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''.

'''Supply Drop''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (Battles 2)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It grants Sniper Monkey a Supply Drop [[Activated Ability|Ability]], which when activated calls in a plane that drops a crate worth $2,000 once collected. The ability has a [[Ability Cooldown|cooldown]] of 50 seconds and an initial cooldown of 20 seconds. Its cooldown reduces by 5 seconds per Path 3 crosspath, for 45 and 40 seconds. [[Elite Sniper (Battles 2)|Elite Sniper]] can trigger all available Supply Drop abilities simultaneously.

This upgrade additionally grants Sniper Monkey's bullets (but not its shrapnel) the unstoppable damage type (now pops [[Frozen Bloon|Frozen Bloon]]s and [[Lead Bloon (Battles 2)|Lead Bloon]]s), and increases shrapnel pierce from 2 to 3.

Money generated from the ability is affected by [[DJ Benjammin' (Battles 2)|DJ Benjammin']]s level 5+ Side Hustle buff.

==Costs and sell values==

==Strategy==

It is not a super efficient income generator without [[DJ Benjammin' (Battles 2)|DJ Benjammin']]'s Side Hustle, but has the lowest footprint out of all of the alt eco abilities, and picking Sniper gives an advantage of supplementary single-target damage and supports from the other paths. However, Supply Drop does weak damage that also anti-stalls, which makes it less desirable than other alt eco abilities, especially [[Support Chinook (Battles 2)|Support Chinook]]. Having Supply Drop also enables [[Cripple MOAB (Battles 2)|Cripple MOAB]] to be used in a loadout. Buy Supply Drop early to snowball later on; its cost-efficiency versus normal eco is not bad and has selling power.

It is recommended to use 0-4-2, as the damage bonus from 2-4-0 is usually not enough to be worth losing out the income bonuses of Path 3. Other defenses are usually better at defending rushes, particularly dense rushes, though a single 2-4-0 can be used to supplement against round 13-16 type rushes.

One Supply Drop is worth 240 eco with x-4-0, increased to roughly 266.7 with 0-4-1 and exactly 300 with 0-4-2. Supply Drop Sniper is much less efficient than Pinks and a bit more valuable than Zebras with 0-4-2 crosspath, but comes with selling power in case of needing to afford more defenses, or to substitute eco when eco becomes depleted by sending high strength rushes.
