Double Shot is the Monkey Buccaneer's path 1 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the number of darts fired by each cannon from 1 to 2, firing both shots in parallel. If Grape Shot is purchased, Double Shot also grants +1 grape per attack.

Double Shot does not increase the number of cannonballs fired by Cannon Ship or its subsequent upgrades, only granting +1 grape, because these upgrades remove the Monkey Buccaneer's dart attack.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 53.1

Double Shot should be crosspathed; a 2-0-0 Double Shot is sub-par, being less cost-efficient than a 0-0-0 Monkey Buccaneer. It's solid for Grape Shot and above, though not very effective on Cannon Ship and Monkey Pirates due to only adding +1 grape and losing darts, but worth it for Pirate Lord. Long Range is less efficient on Double Shot than Grape Shot, hence Double Shot is the worse crosspath in Race Events.

  • Buff Grape Shot: Now fires 10 grapes at a time instead of 5 (11 instead of 6 with Big Bunch Big Bunch)
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Most cases for Buccaneer currently find you better off sticking to Destroyers and adding other buffs, so we have made a couple slight nudges to this top path
— Update notes
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $500 → $550
Bottom crosspath feels behind compared to others here, so in addition to the new Camo Prioritization filter Longer Range on this path will now also grant bonus pierce.
— Update notes
2-0-1, 2-0-2, 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5
  • Buff Long Range increases pierce of darts (including aircraft darts) and grapes by +1
We wanted to do a little general lower tier balancing of costs, as things work a bit better at higher tiers but on the lower end with T1-2 upgrades cost for power doesn’t compare well.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $550 → $425
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
2-3-0, 2-4-0, 2-5-0
  • Buff Faster Shooting crosspath now reduces attack cooldown of the cannon by 25%
Reworking Grape Shot crosspathing as it gains far too much crosspath value by T2 but then is lacking in purpose at higher tiers, double shot will only work as one extra grape however Destroyer will now apply its full attack rate buff to the grapes and Flagship will equip aspects of Grape Shot on the mini planes.
— Update notes
2-1-0, 2-2-0, 2-3-0, 2-4-0, 2-5-0
  • Nerf Grape Shot: projectiles reduced ― 10 → 6
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
