The Tack Shooter is a tower in the Bloons TD series, introduced in Bloons Tower Defense. It is a pink turret that has 8 barrels equally spaced around its body.
Gameplay
Tack Shooter shoots 8 tacks per shot in a fixed direction. It has a short range and a moderately slow attack speed. Tack Shooter has been relatively consistent throughout the series, although its Blade Shooter, Ring of Fire, and Tack Sprayer upgrades have received the most rearrangements. Throughout the entire series, the Tack Shooter has upgrades for attack speed and range, and it only introduced upgrades with more than 8 projectiles since BTD5.
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 and mobile version 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, Bloons TD Battles, mobile version, and Bloons Monkey City, the Tack Shooter returns with two upgrade paths. The first path introduces the Tack Sprayer upgrade and primarily focuses on high DPS. The second path is the range-oriented upgrade path, with extra pierce from the Blade Shooter and Blade Maelstrom.
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, replacing the role that Tack Sprayer has in BTD5. The second path is the pierce-and-range hybrid. The third path relegates to maximizing the amount of projectiles per second, with additional focus on single-target damage, including the Tack Sprayer upgrade. In BTD6, it has a Paragon called the Crucible of Steel and Flame.
Bloons Card Storm
In Bloons Card Storm, the Tack Shooter is a playable unit. It costs 2 Gold to play and does 25 damage with 2 ammo, with 2 reload. It is a Defender with +10 Attack Power during the opponent's turn, allowing it to deal 35 damage to Bloons that are about to leak.
Tack Shooter belongs to the "Tack Shooter" monkey class, which holds many other variants of the Tack Shooter that were released in the Bloons TD series.
Other appearances
- While not specifically a Tack Shooter, Wildberry Princess has an identical method of attack to the Tack Shooter.
Tack Monkey
Tack Monkey[1] is a Monkey who operates the Tack Shooter. This monkey is not visible unless it peeks out of the cover of the Tack Shooter, revealing its upper body at most.
