not a bad balance change imo, esniper was just too good and that was the real culprit, surely enough?

'''Elite Sniper''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (Battles 2)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It increases Sniper Monkey's attack speed (x0.4 attack cooldown or +150% more attack speed), and each bounce now produces shrapnel instead of only the initial hit. Elite Sniper also grants a global attack speed buff to all other Sniper Monkeys (x0.8 attack cooldown or +25% more attack speed).

Elite Sniper increases the amount of cash generated from its ability from $1,750 to $4,500, and causes all available [[Supply Drop (Battles 2)|Supply Drop]] abilities to be activated simultaneously. The Elite Sniper's ability is shared with other Supply Drop Snipers. Elite Sniper also grants a new "Elite" targeting option for itself and all other Sniper Monkeys. Upon buying this upgrade, this Sniper's targeting option will automatically switch to Elite.

A solid boost to income generation as well as pretty self-sufficient defense against any non-Tight, non-blimp rush. When progressing from [[Supply Drop (Battles 2)|Supply Drop]], it is recommended to wait for the ability to be ready, or almost ready, and then buy the Elite Sniper upgrade prior to activating it, to get a significant cash boost (+$2750). The big cash boost is enough to make Elite Sniper worth considering for any Sniper loadout, even without [[DJ Benjammin' (Battles 2)|DJ Benjammin']].

Rushing an Elite Sniper is worth going for to be sufficient non-Tight Bloon rush defense while making solid income generation, substituting most but not all defense.


It is recommended to use 0-5-2 for the faster income generation. 2-5-0 can be used to fulfill both defense and cash, but misses out on income generation, and Sniper already struggles to all Tight rushes regardless.
