Pursuit Downdraft has felt like an overperformer for a very long time, but instead of outright nerfing it we increased crosspath potential for those who manually take control over their heli micro.

- Downdraft: rate reduced ― 0.125s → 0.15s
- 0-4-2
- Downdraft: rate increased ― 0.125s → 0.12s
“
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.

”
- Movement speed increased ― 67.5 → 70
“
As a small quality of life feature Chinook’s redeploy ability has been reworked to allow slight movements of towers in a single use, rather than having to move them away and then use another redeployment to move them back again.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Redeploy: Now ignores the footprint of the selected tower when choosing where to relocate it
“
For similar reasons to Sniper, Chinook is a pretty annoying tower to farm with, so its ability has been standardized into a single producing both a life & a cash crate on a longer cooldown; the cash production of this has gone up while the life generation has been reduced as the power stood out too much compared to any other life generation method.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Support Drop: Now stops recharging during a round if 3 minutes elapse after the start
- Support Drop: Now drops both life and cash crates instead of alternating
- Support Drop: Cooldown increased ― 60s → 90s
- Support Drop: Cash value is no longer randomized ― $1,000–$2,000 → $1,800
- Support Drop: Life value is overall decreased and no longer randomized ― 50–75 → 10
“
But really you should just never be trying this in the first place

”
- Resolved an issue with chinook trying to move towers off of ice platforms (bug fix)
“
Support Chinook use is too niche outside of farming for the high cost, so the upgrade cost along with that effective cash gain amount from ability usage has been lowered to retain the same farming while improving niche use.

”
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $12,000 → $10,500
- Overall cost reduced by $1,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Crate: Cash reduced ― $1,800 → $1,650
- Heli 'patrol point' markers now visually update immediately after setting new points (bug fix)
“
For how powerful downdraft is in comparison to other blowback effects, it didn’t feel right that it wasn’t blowing off status effects as should be normal there. Redeploy feels like it has no business having so long a cooldown, maybe it could see more realistic use cases for this main mechanic if it was able to be utilized more frequently.

”
- Redeploy: Cooldown reduced ― 60s → 45s
- Downdraft: Now removes ice and glue mutators from affected Bloons
“
Chinook feels like it’s near a place we are happy with now, however we want another tiny nudge on cost while keeping cash generation value the same.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $10,500 → $9,500
- Supply Crate: cash generated reduced ― $1650 → $1550
- Supply Crate: Max uses per round reduced ― 3 → 2
“
Given Downdraft has competed as one of the most debated best towers in the game basically for its entire life for both early and late game we are reducing some of the extreme effectiveness against late game Super Ceramics by reworking it to have an overall increased effect of blowing back multiple smaller children at a time but now requiring 2 pierce to blow back ceramics. At the same time, the T4 Support Chinook is also having a large increase to make it now a more powerful real end-game choice for a lategame version of Downdraft that can quickly deal with large groups of Super Ceramics.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Downdraft: Pierce increased ― 1 → 4
- Downdraft: Maximum blowback distance decreased ― 300 → 150
- Downdraft: Gains +1 pierce penalty to all bloons when crosspathed (undocumented) (bug)
- Downdraft: Ceramics now consume +1 pierce
- Blowback no longer works on Bloons near the entrance (bug fix)
“
Support Chinook struggles to do anything with its main attack due to the projectile spawn offset changing at this tier, so we’re slightly tweaking the main attack to assist it here.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Dart: Projectile size increased ― 3 → 6
- Dart: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Note: These buffs are considered nerfs to stalling
“
Players have noticed the life crate has more collection radius than the cash crate, and that this causes problems for some strategies / challenges as you don’t always want to increase lives, so these radius have been matched.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Lives crate collection radius reduced ― 100 → 50
“
Support Chinook is receiving improvement to utility to increase value for people generally wanting this upgrade for other reasons.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Flight speed increased ― 70 → 80
“
For improved quality of life Support Chinook has been enabled for use between rounds, we have concerns with this but will give it some time to see how things settle.

”
“
In order to improve potential synergies, we have finally decided to do away with the pierce cap on Downdraft. This means that, yes, you can now properly Alch buff your Downdraft support
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Downdraft: Pierce cap removed ― 2 → ∞
- Note: This does not affect its regular pierce, but now allows it to receive pierce buffs.
- Reposition ability: Can now be used between rounds
- Reposition ability: Can now move towers on to ice and ink platforms (undocumented)
- Downdraft: Crosspaths no longer grant +1 pierce penalty to all Bloons (bug fix)
“
For quality of life the ‘Drag to Redeploy' textbox now disappears earlier during tower redeployment.
— Update notes
— Update notes
”
- Redeploy ability: "Drag to Redeploy" textbox now hides once a tower is selected to be moved, instead of after confirming placement
- Note: This improves visibility with towers placed at the top of the screen
- Should no longer be able to stack towers (bug fix)
- Note: This attempts to fix an exploit where two separate Chinook abilities would be able to stack towers on top within a brief window between activating placements of different towers
- Redeploy Ability: Can again reposition towers on top of themselves
“
[...] while Support Chinook’s fire rate remains unchanged, to save you some clicks the cash and life generation will now trigger all instances at once. I just love pasta. Since players have noted the irony of a Marine being in the Chinook path but unmovable and awkward to place, so the Marine is now fully redeployable, enjoy!

”
- Supply Drop ability: Activating the ability will now trigger it for all available towers
- Redeployment ability: It can now be used on the Monkey Marine
