[[File:BTD6 dartling gunner concept art.png|thumb|300px|Concept art of the Dartling Gunner's original upgrades]] | |||
While the Dartling Gunner was released in {{BTD6 version|22.0}}, assets for the Dartling Gunner, such as projectile textures and upgrade descriptions, existed in the game's data since launch. Early text and concept art for the Dartling Gunner indicates its upgrades were completely overhauled before the tower released; the original upgrade text and concept art indicates the tower was originally designed to be more similar to [[Dartling Gun (BTD5)|its iteration]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'' (though the rename from "Dartling Gun" to "Dartling Gunner" was already planned). | |||
