Grape Shot is the Monkey Buccaneer's path 2 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants the Monkey Buccaneer an additional attack which fires 5 grapes (6 with 
Big Bunch) at a time, in a 90 degree spread. Grapes deal 1 damage, have 1 pierce (2 with 
Naval Upgrades), and have an attack cooldown of 1.3 seconds. Grapes cannot damage Lead or Frozen Bloons. Like Monkey Buccaneer's main dart attack, grapes may be fired from both sides at the same time if there are targets on both sides of it. The attack has several crosspathing perks:
- Faster Shooting increases grape fire rate by +33%
- Double Shot adds +1 grape
- Destroyer increases grape fire rate by +400%
- Aircraft Carrier allows its planes to fire grapes
- Carrier Flagship improves its plane's fired grapes ceramic damage and pierce
- Long Range increases grape spread and projectile speed increased and increases grape pierce by +1
- Crow's Nest allows grapes to hit Camo Bloons
- Favored Trades increases grape fire rate by +73.3%
- Trade Empire increases grape damage to 2 and grants bonus MOAB and ceramic damage

Strategy
Grape Shot is a strong early-game tower, thanks to its high number of projectiles. It is best placed at spots surrounded by track on opposing sides, where both of its guns can activate. Purchasing it with Faster Shooting) (Monkey Buccaneer is recommended when further increased early-game power is desired, and Long Range is recommended in Race Events. It is also a strong crosspath, being recommended for all bottom-path Buccaneers (if damage is desired) and Destroyer. It is recommended for Aircraft Carrier and Carrier Flagship if the Destroyer attack can be used. When the Destroyer attack cannot reach at least one lane every round, the increased pierce from Long Range becomes superior as a crosspath.

| “ | 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 |
