In ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', the {{Mobile version|BTD5}} of ''BTD5'', ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', the {{mobile version|Bloons TD Battles}} of ''BTDB'', and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Dartling Gun returns with two upgrade paths. The first path retains the same conversion to laser shots, with the tier 4 upgrade converting again to a solid laser beam. The second path instead converts the darts into missiles which explode on impact, with the tier 4 upgrade increasing the amount of rockets fired greatly.

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', The Dartling Gunner is classified as a [[Military]] tower. In BTD6, it was introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 v22.0|v22.0]] and in BTDB2, it was available from launch. In Bloons TD 6, it can be unlocked through popping bloons, requiring 3,000,000 bloons to be popped. The first path shoots lasers to pop the bloons, like its ''Bloons TD 5'' counterpart. The second path shoots missiles that can pop any type of bloon and eventually deal massive damage to [[MOAB Class Bloon|MOAB Class Bloons]]. The third path shoots buckshot that can knock back bloons.

Some of the weapons Dartling Gunners use were invented by Dr. Monkey. In particular, the Ray of Doom has a recliner chair that uses La-Z-Monkey technology.
