The Mega Massive Munitions Factory deploys giant spiked mines in its radius which last for up to 5 rounds and split into 10 smaller spike piles after exploding. It has the same targeting available as Smart Spikes. It also creates a permanent carpet of spikes on the track that passively damages all Bloons on the map, similar to the vines created by Spirit of the Forest. It has two Activated Abilities:
Controlled Burst[fn 1] — Grants it a 4x attack speed buff for 10 seconds similar to Smart Spikes and can only be used once per round, with a base cooldown of 10 seconds.
Spikeageddon — Launches rockets that land on approximately equally spaced intervals along the track, starting from each exit, which leave behind explosive mines (which look similar to Perma-Spike, but rounded and smaller) that explode on contact with a Bloon, dealing massive amounts of damage and releasing 3 smaller spike piles (which look similar to Deadly Spikes, but smaller). The mines can also be manually detonated by activating the ability again after it recharges. The number of rockets launched is dependent on the track length. The ability has a base 75 second cooldown.
Note: these lists do not factor in Monkey Knowledge or other discounts.

Strategy
This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Possibility to discuss specific locations, paragon degree thresholds optimals, targeting options, and also when to buy it before bosses (like 4 rounds before, depending on T4 or T5 boss?), also how do you use each ability optimally
Mega Munitions is one of the strongest Paragons if allowed to stockpile enough mines, though somewhat more map-dependent than Goliath Doomship due to reliance on placement. The main strength comes from the mines, which last many rounds, in addition to well-timed Spikeageddon abilities. The carpet can clear many weakened bloons without trouble. It is the best option for Timed Boss Events, as a stockpile can do immense damage in a very short time. Versus Bosses, its worst matchups are Vortex and Phayze, particularly the former which deletes stockpiles consistently, while its best matchup is Bloonarius.
High degrees should be a priority with Mega Munitions, due to its high damage potential from both its mines and abilities. Unlike most Paragons, flat pierce bonuses are very important for its DPS (every 10n+1 degrees increases flat pierce by 1), because each spike does high damage.
For maximum pops, Super Mines, Carpet of Spikes, and Perma-Spike output the majority of pops, and ensure that all Spike Factories target all of the entrance(s) of the map so other towers don't steal pops. For the cheapest T2 and T3 crosspaths for the most tiers, use 0-2-2 and 0-2-3, and 4-2-0 for the most expensive. 2-4-0 can be kept if they've already got high pops versus a Boss and if planning to go for Mega Munitions with already high income generation.
To set up maximum stockpiles, build it in advance so it has time to pile up spikes and charge the Spikeageddon ability. For Boss Events, buy it on Round 96 for T4, and Round 117 for T5. Use the Set Target priority to focus the mines on a specific region, as the other targeting priorities aren't as effective for stockpiling.
In Freeplay, the paragon should be placed at the back, as a full spike pike can tank even some of the fortified BADs of later ronds. However, the main strength comes from the Spikeaggeddon ability, which can turn the tide of rounds that would otherwise be very difficult too pass.

This update we’ve finally decided to nerf Permaspike by completely removing the ‘Far’ target priority from the earlier Smart Spikes upgrade. We know that this loss will be incredibly painful to deal with for the many spike factory enjoyers out there, so we have also included a couple other minor QoL adjustments to the Smart Spikes upgrade in a hopeful attempt to offset this. — Update notes
”
Now has new targeting options from Smart Spikes, instead of locked on Normal (undocumented)
Spikeageddon ability: No longer spawns a lesser amount of mines on short tracks (bug fix)
Spike Paragon’s Spikeageddon ability again produces less Mines on short tracks, due to many problematic edge cases & this paragon already feeling very powerful this will now be accepted as a weakness of the upgrade — Update notes
”
Spikeageddon: Produces fewer mines on short tracks
Spike Factory’s paragon damage is being moved from mini spike storms back into the main attack to nerf this while reducing the impact of expiring projectiles upon Bosses spawning. — Update notes
”
Mini spike pile: Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons decreased ― +180 → +80
Spike Paragon lost much of its punch against Bosses with the Mini-Storm rework, more than anticipated so we’re granting it adjustments to price, Controlled Burst duration, and the main projectile pierce is being halved while all damage values for this attack are at least doubled, overall improving performance and making sure the Paragon still feels impactful. — Update notes
It seems we really overtuned Spike Paragon with its last changes, and it has dominated most boss events ever since, so it is being reeled back in again. — Update notes
”
Main attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 10s → 11s (attack speed reduced by 9.09%)
Main Attack: Damage reduced ― 140 → 100
Main Attack: Now deals +480 extra damage to MOAB-Class Bloons (undocumented) (bug fix)
Note: This bonus was intended but had no effect due a bug
Carpet of Spikes: Bonus damage to Boss Bloons reduced ― +1,500 → +800
Carpet of Spikes: Bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons increased ― +100 → +300
Pre-release
The Mega Massive Munitions Factory was revealed in previews for version 48.0.[1]
“
The only way to nerf Permaspike has been found - making a more Mega, more Massive, more Munitions Factory!
Be it the permanent Carpet of Spikes, explosive Spike Storming Mines or spikeageddon Mega Mines, the Bloons are going to have a very hard time getting past this blockade
