'''Extra Range Tack Shooter''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|6.0}}. It is a [[defender]] that gains +5 ATK during the opponent's [[turn]], and another +20 ATK via the Defender bonus if the player ended their turn with zero gold.

The card artwork depicts an Extra Range Tack Shooter shooting tacks that fly across a globe that resembles a simplification of earth. The globe features skyscrapers, pyramids, mountains, a volcano, and multiple Bloons of different colors (Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow).

==Tips==

*Extra Range Tack Shooter costs 1 Gold more for 5 extra ATK when not using Defender, but more Defender if the player has no Gold. ~~Thus~~, it is more ~~suited~~ for ~~aggro, where it's more common~~ to spend all ~~Gold~~ in ~~a turn~~.

*Compared to the normal [[Tack Shooter (BCS)|Tack Shooter]], Extra Range Tack Shooter costs 1 Gold more for 10 extra ATK when not using Defender, but more Defender if the player has no Gold. Make sure to spend all of your Gold if enemy Bloons are attacking, as without the [[Keyword|Zero Gold]] bonus it only has 5 more ATK as Defender.

~~<!-- When uncommenting these, make sure not~~ to ~~create more than one blank line between visible~~ and ~~non-visible text~~, ~~otherwise it makes the empty space visible~~

*Extra Range Tack Shooter can be used with [[Even More Tacks (BCS)|Even More Tacks]], [[Extra-Super Monkey|Extra Super Monkey]], and [[Golden Blimp]] for an easy way to spend all of your gold, regardless of how much is in your hand.

*Extra Range Tack Shooter is often outclassed by [[Tack Sprayer (BCS)|Tack Sprayer]] due to its higher burst damage and less conditional requirement. Extra Range Tack Shooter can function in decks that are meant to deal with Aggro strategies.

*The Zero Gold condition's defender bonus can pop a [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] with Passive Awesomeness from [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]] or Bloon Shield from [[Amelia the Amazing (BCS)|Amelia]], even on Dark Castle.
