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 options 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 — Quadruples its main attack's attack speed for 15 seconds and is only usable once per round, similar to Smart Spikes.
Spikeageddon — Launches powerful land mines that land on approximately equally spaced intervals along each path that explode on contact with a Bloon, dealing massive damage and releasing 3 smaller spike piles. Activating the ability while there are still mines on-screen detonates them instead of spawning more mines. The number of mines dispensed depends on the track length and number of paths.
This article or section needs more screenshots. See the screenshot guidelines for more information on what screenshots are needed and how to add them. The editor that added this notice elaborates: Munitions Factory with Giant Mines
The Mega Massive Munitions Factory's main attack deploys giant spike-storming mines in its radius. Like Super Mines, they generate small explosions with 30 radius each time a Bloon touches them, which deal extra damage to Fortified Bloons and Ceramic Bloons (but not Dreadbloon's Ceramic Armor Shell). When they expire, by running out of pierce, after 5 minutes, after 5 rounds, or before a Boss Bloon starts spawning (whichever comes first), they spawn a storm of 10 spike piles that each last for 9 to 11 seconds at random and can carry over one round. All projectiles deal Normal-typedamage and can hit Camo Bloons. The mines, explosions, and spike piles all benefit from One More Spike, but not Very Shreddy.
This attack has the same targeting options as Smart Spikes, except ordered Normal, Set Target, Automatic, and Close instead of Normal, Close, Smart, Set Target, and Automatic.
At Degree 1:
The Giant Mine attack has a cooldown of 11 seconds.
Each Giant Mine spike does 100 damage, +480 MOAB-class damage, and has 50 pierce.
Each mini-explosion has does 120 damage, +240 Ceramic damage, +240 Fortified damage, and has 30 pierce.
Each mini-spike does 40 damage, +100 MOAB-class damage, and has 10 pierce.
Carpet of Spikes
Immediately upon upgrading to a Mega Massive Munitions Factory (even before it finishes transforming), the Spike Factory creates a damaging area of effect around itself that works very similarly to the track vines from Spirit of the Forest. It grows in size at a rate of ~16.667 units per second (50 units every 3 seconds) and deals Normal-type damage to Bloons inside it, including Camo Bloons, every 0.5 seconds (regardless of attack speed modifiers). It visually creates purple spikes on the ground, but these are purely an indicator of the area's radius; it affects Bloons within the radius even while they are not on top of the spikes (i.e. displaced by an effect such as blowback). It disappears immediately upon selling the tower. These Carpet of Spikes deal extra damage to MOAB-class and Bosses.
At Degree 1:
Carpet of Spikes deal 30 damage, +300 MOAB-class damage, and +800 Boss damage.
Monkey Knowledge

Abilities
Controlled Burst
Controlled Burst[fn 1] increases the main attack's attack speed by 4× for 15 seconds. It has a base cooldown of 15 seconds and can only be used once per round.
Spikeageddon
Spikeageddon[1] causes the Mega Massive Munitions Factory to launch land mines (resembling Perma-Spike spikes, but rounded and smaller) into the air that land on roughly equally spaced intervals across each path, starting at the exit and moving towards the entrance (reversed on Reverse mode). It attempts to place up to 25 mines across each path and spread them at least 100 units apart from each other (before they are randomly spread by up to 15 units in either direction), but will place less than 25 mines if the track is not long enough. The rate of making land mines is not affected by degrees or external speed buffs.
Each land mine explodes on contact with the first Bloon, after 6 minutes and 40 seconds, or after 5 rounds, whichever comes first. It generates an explosion and spawns three spikes (resembling Deadly Spikes) that each last for up to 5 minutes or 5 rounds. The explosion and spikes both benefit from One More Spike, but not Very Shreddy.
Activating the ability while there are still any mines on the screen from the previous activation (not counting spikes spawned from detonated mines) detonates all the mines instantly instead of spawning more mines. It has a base cooldown of 75 seconds.
At Degree 1:
Each mini-spike does 100 damage, +250 MOAB-class damage, +50 Fortified damage, and has 10 pierce.
Each mini-explosion does 10,000 damage, +25,000 MOAB-class damage, +5,000 Fortified damage, and has 120 pierce.

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, optimal paragon degree thresholds , 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? What about Iceagon strip Dreadbloon Support Category with timing?
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. Bear in mind that it may be preferable to prioritize pops on other Paragons first, such as for XXXL Trap into Master Builder.
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, this Paragon should be placed at the back, as a full spike pile can tank even some of the fortified BADs of later rounds. However, the main strength comes from the Spikeageddon ability, which can turn the tide of rounds that would otherwise be very difficult to 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

Trivia
Before the Mega Massive Munitions Factory was revealed, the update notes for version 46.0 contained a joke change saying "xx6 Alwaysspike doesn't exist".[2]
Internally, before Version 52.0, the main attack's explosions are supposed to deal +480 damage to MOAB-Class Bloons, but due to an error, it only applies this to Bloons with the ID MOAB, which does nothing (MOAB-Class Bloons have the tag Moabs and the MOAB has the ID Moab, both with different capitalization). This amount was buffed in version 50.0 from +140 to +240 and again in version 51.0 to +480, even though it continues to do nothing. This has now been patched.
