The '''Tack Shooter''' is a [[tower]] in the ''{{series|Bloons TD}}'', introduced in ''[[Bloons Tower Defense]]''. Tack Shooter shoots 8 tacks per shot in a fixed direction. It has a short range and a moderately slow attack speed, though it does have upgrades that improve its range and attack speed.

When first introduced to ''[[Bloons Tower Defense]]'' and ''[[Bloons Tower Defense 2]]'', the Tack Shooter has two upgrades, improving its attack speed and/or range.

Added to ''[[Bloons TD 3]]'' is an upgrade that further increases range, plus the introduction of the [[Blade Shooter]] upgrade as the successor of the speed upgrade.

====''Bloons TD 4'' generation====

In ''[[Bloons TD 4]]'' and {{mobile version|BTD4}}, the Tack Shooter is unlocked at Rank 2. Like in previous generations, it produces 8 tacks per shot at a moderately slow speed. It introduces the [[Ring of Fire]] upgrade, which switches tacks for flame rings that do rapid area damage.

In ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'', ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', {{Mobile version|BTD5}}, ''[[Bloons TD Battles]]'', {{mobile version|BTDBM}}, and ''[[Bloons Monkey City]]'', the Tack Shooter returns with two upgrade paths. The first path focuses on high speed, with Ring of Fire being the fourth upgrade of this path. The second path is the range-oriented upgrade path, with pierce added at the third and fourth upgrades.

====''Bloons TD 6'' generation====

{{main|Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooter (Battles 2)}}

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]'', the Tack Shooter is classified as a [[Primary]] tower. The first path revolves around maximized attack speed and high damage, evolving into a fiery theme starting from the [[Hot Shots]] upgrade, which replaces the role that [[Tack Sprayer]] has in ''BTD5''. The second path remains to focus on range-oriented high pierce, but with more focus as a pierce-and-range hybrid. The third path relegates to maximizing the amount of projectiles per second, with additional focus on single-target damage.
