Strategy

On the Flash version of Bloons Monkey City, this upgrade is simply overpriced and not worth getting on any engineer outside of purchasing higher tiers. The doubled price tag directly holds this upgrade back from being worth it.

On the multiplatform version, it is a simple yet effective upgrade to improve the pierce of the tower when using a Sentry Gun spam strategy. While it does not improve the pierce of sentries, the nail gun can quickly run out of pierce and this upgrade can provide a notable boost in popping power after all Engineers are placed.
