Strategy

Supply Drop's primary purpose is money generation. It performs best when rounds are being stalled, allowing for 2 usages of its ability per round, making it more efficient than all Banana Farms. This strategy requires placing it behind a line-of-sight blocker to prevent its shots from hitting Bloons and ending the stall, making it not practical on some maps. Without stalling, Supply Drop's money generation is sub-par.

In CHIMPS, where money generation is disabled, it is not recommended to stop at Supply Drop. The extra shrapnel pierce and bounces are not worth its steep cost, leading it only being recommended as a stepping stone to Elite Sniper. 0-4-2 is the optimal crosspath for Supply Drop's damage, synergizing well with Berserker Brew and attacking much faster (thus cleaning up more reliably) compared to 2-4-0.

  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $8,000 → $7,200
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $1,100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Nerf Ability: Now starts with its full cooldown
  • 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
2-4-0
  • 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
1-4-0, 2-4-0
  • 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
Small improvements for underloved sniper upgrades with respective path specialties intact. As bottom path sniper has proven superiority for group damage dealing in many situations and middle T4 on the group-damage path has only offered a farming option, the pierce of shrapnel has been doubled at this T4 to add offensive value as well..[sic]
— Update notes
  • Buff Shrapnel: pierce increased ― 3 → 6
  • Crate ability: no longer lands inside high terrain (bug fix)
No wrist enjoys spamming cash drops, so sniper’s random cash drop has been standardized around a higher amount with slower cooldown for an overall buff. 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 Ability: Cash value is overall greater and no longer randomized ― $500–$1,000 → $1,200
  • Buff Shrapnel: Damage is no longer capped
  • Buff Camo Prioritization filter added
  • Nerf Ability: Cooldown increased ― 60s → 90s
  • Nerf Ability: Now stops recharging during a round if 3 minutes elapse after the start
  • 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
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 ― 6 → 5
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $450 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Ability: Crates now remain collectable if the tower is sold (bug fix)
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. Additionally we think the T5 sniper changes for improving sniper farming QoL was a step in the right direction, however we want to take it further and work this way directly from the T4 Supply Drop.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $7,200 → $7,600
    • Neutral Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Ability now triggers other supply drops when one is used
  • Change Sniper abilities should no longer take up separate quickbar buttons
Lower tier Shrapnel crosspathing balance doesn’t feel great currently, so the damage crosspath benefits at T1 & T2 are improving.
— Update notes
1-4-0
  • Buff Shrapnel: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
2-4-0
  • 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 Overall cost reduced by $300 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Nerf Cash per crate reduced ― $1,200 → $1,100
    • Note: Elite Sniper is unchanged
… 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
2-4-0
  • Buff Bounce distance increased ― 40 → 80
    • Note: The intended bounce distance for this crosspath was 50, but it remained at 40 due to a bug
Supply Drop is a weak stepping stone without considering the cash generation, but is also not a preferred cash generation option either so improvements are being made to higher tiers of this path. [...]
— Update notes
  • Buff Bullet: Pierce increased ― 4 → 5
