Pin is the Engineer Monkey's path 3 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Nailgun shots can now pin non-heavy bloons (i.e. single-HP, non-lead, non-blimp bloons), causing the next layer to be stunned for 1 second. Sentries cannot pin bloons unless crosspathed with Sprockets or above.

Pinned bloons are marked with nails embedded on them. Because pinning is technically a type of "stun", affected bloons take more damage from attacks that do more damage to stunned targets.

Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made.
— Update notes
1-0-2, 2-0-2, 3-0-2, 4-0-2, 5-0-2
  •   Oversize Nails crosspath now allows Sentries to pop frozen Bloons
  •   Oversize Nails crosspath now increases Sentry pierce by 1
Engineer is quite poor in terms of crosspathing, so we’ve added crosspath benefits to Cleansing Foam [...]
— Update notes
0-3-2, 0-4-2, 0-5-2
  •   Foam attack: Pierce with Oversized Nails increased ― 10 → 15
Additionally higher tier sentries will now be able to benefit from the xx2 Pin crosspath, so enjoy some laser pins.
— Update notes
4-0-2
  •   Energy Sentry: Pierce bonus from Oversize Nails increased ― +1 → +2
    •   Overall pierce increased ― 5 → 10 (due to changes to the base pierce)
3-0-2, 4-0-2, 5-0-2
  •   Pin now allows Sentries from Sprockets and above to pin Bloons
  •   Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
0-3-2, 0-4-2, 0-5-2
  •   Pin crosspath allows Cleansing Foam to slow Bloons by 50% for 2 seconds
  •   Pin crosspath allows Cleansing Foam to slow all MOAB-class (including BADs) by 50% for 2 seconds (bug)
032 Engineer Cleansing Foam now works correctly on all MOAB Class targets - hope you enjoyed that temporary treat
— Update notes
0-3-2, 0-4-2, 0-5-2
  •   Cleansing Foam: no longer slows MOAB-class bloons (including BADs) with Pin crosspath (bug fix)
0-3-2, 0-4-2, 0-5-2
  •   Cleansing Foam slow stacks on a single target (bug)
0-3-2, 0-4-2, 0-5-2
  •   Foam slow effect no longer stacks on a single target (bug fix)
Sentry Champion’s pierce crosspath does not feel like it has enough of an edge to compete with the deconstruction crosspath.
— Update notes
5-0-2
  •   Turret pierce increased ― 6 → 7
Applying pierce crosspathing to Sentry Champion only granting an abysmal +1 pierce to the explosion while an intended joke at the time still feels a little silly, we’re separating that up to get its own larger increase now.
— Update notes
5-0-2
  •   Sentry Explosion: Crosspath benefit to pierce bonus increased ― +1 → +21
    • Note: Pierce increased from 51 to 70
  •   Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
5-0-2
  •   Champion Sentry, Plasma: Pierce increased ― 7 → 10
  •   Champion Sentry, Explosion: Pierce increased ― 70 → 75
0-4-2
  •   Foam: Pierce increased ― 20 → 21
0-5-2
  •   Foam: Pierce increased ― 35 → 36
