Bouncing Bullet is the Sniper Monkey's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants Sniper Monkey's bullets the ability to bounce up to 2 times, hitting up to 3 Bloons per shot. Each bullet impact retains the Shrapnel Shot attack which sprays 5 projectiles in a cone formation which hit 2 Bloons each. Bullets can bounce to other Bloons within a 40 unit radius of a target.

Crosspathing with Full Metal Jacket increases shrapnel damage to 2 and allows shrapnel to pop frozen and lead bloons. With Large Calibre bounce distance increases from 40 to 80 units and increases shrapnel damage to 3.

  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,500 → $3,200
  • No longer gets stuck on the track between jumps (bug fix)
  • Buff Now deals +2 damage to Camo Bloons
  • Buff Shrapnel: Now emits on every Bloon shot instead of only if it fully pops the Bloon
  • Nerf Shrapnel: Projectile count reduced ― 8 → 5
  • Neutral Shrapnel: Spread angle reduced ― 360° → 45°
  • Neutral Shrapnel: Emission angle is now relative to the Sniper Monkey's angle
2-3-0
  • Buff Shrapnel: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff
— Update notes
  • Buff Fire rate increased ― 2s → 1.59s
To retain value in more Lead-heavy situations including against DDTs, this upgrade that has always allowed Lead popping to main attack will now also grant this to the Shrapnel from any shrapnel shot snipers mixing in this upgrade
— Update notes
1-3-0, 2-3-0
  • Buff Now changes the damage type of shrapnel to Normal
Bouncing Bullet has also had its shrapnel pierce increased as it was the only T3 sniper that did not have 3 pierce shrapnel.
— Update notes
  • Buff Shrapnel: pierce increased ― 2 → 3
As middle path sniper has been feeling to be in a good spot with alchemist buffs, but other uses of sniper shrapnel weak due to lack of alchemist buff, we have decided to swap alchemist buffability over from the number of bounces to the power of the shrapnel itself.
— Update notes
  • Buff Shrapnel: Damage is no longer capped
  • Buff Camo Prioritization filter added
  • Nerf Number of bounces is no longer affected by pierce buffs
Elite Sniper bouncing bullet jump distance has been reduced so that it can't quite bridge small track splits so easily, however to change up use this lost distance has been added back to crosspathing.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Bounce distance reduced ― 50 → 40
2-3-0
  • Neutral Large Calibre now increases bounce distance ― 40 → 50
    • Note: Does not apply to higher tiers due to a bug
Sniper middle path is too strong for how easy to use it is, while having infinite range & cash production as well. We have removed the free +1 pierce increase shrapnel gains at T3 in addition to the added bounce.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Shrapnel: Pierce reduced ― 3 → 2
Bouncing bullet synergises too effectively with some buffs too early, and we don’t want to raise the price here and make the saveup from T2 to 3 any more tedious so the number of bounces is going down but remaining unchanged at T4.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Bounce pierce ― 4 → 3
    • Note: Supply Drop bounce pierce unchanged
Sniper Monkey has some very powerful upgrades but also many poor stepping stones. We felt this tower needed a big price shuffle all around, pushing down the cost of many underwhelming upgrades but returning this back into stronger upgrades.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $3,200 → $2,800
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $450 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Bouncing Bullets still feels decent enough at some points, however we feel it’s too difficult to save up into to justify the current power level. We’re shuffling prices to allow this upgrade to come online sooner while keeping the path at the same value for higher tiers as these still offer additional income support that they are balanced around.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,800 → $2,400
Lower tier Shrapnel crosspathing balance doesn’t feel great currently, so the damage crosspath benefits at T1 & T2 are improving.
— Update notes
1-3-0
  • Buff Shrapnel: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
2-3-0
  • Buff Shrapnel: Damage increased ― 2 → 3
Geraldo was the main power carry for Bouncing Bullet so performance has continued to drop with Geraldo synergies being less powerful now, but the save-up window from shrapnel into bouncing bullet has always been an annoying one so we’re happy to lower the price further to make this easier. Supply Drop’s crate value is staying matched to the total cost of the upgrade so it benefits from this small price buff as well.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $2,400 → $2,100
… and more on that now, the improved bounce distance crosspathing hasn’t ever been as useful as we hoped, so this benefit is being greatly improved.
— Update notes
2-3-0
  • Buff Bounce distance increased ― 50 → 80
