Faster Engineering
|
 Increased efficiency allows the Engineer to produce sentries, foam and bloon traps more often.

| Tower | Engineer Monkey — Path 1 — Tier 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| XP cost | 550 | |
| Cash cost | $340 — Easy $400 — Medium $430 — Hard $480 — Impoppable | |
Faster Engineering is the Engineer Monkey's path 1 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It reduces the cooldown of the Engineer Monkey's sentry-spawner attack from 10 seconds to 6 seconds, increasing its production rate by ~66.7%. Additionally, it increases the MOAB damage of the Engineer Monkey's base attack by 1, which is lost if crosspathed with the second path or upgraded to tier 3, possibly due to a bug. If crosspathed with Cleansing Foam, it reduces the foam gun cooldown by 40%. If crosspathed with Bloon Trap, it reduces the time it takes for the Engineer Monkey to stockpile a new trap by 40%, but does not change the 2.8-second minimum delay between deploys.

Sentry: pierce increased ― 1 → 2
Sentry: No longer gains Camo detection after loading a save (bug fix)- Sentry spawner: No longer ignores smart placement if the Engineer Monkey cannot reach the track (bug fix)
“
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.

- Sentry: deployment rate increased ― 7s → 6s
- 2-1-0, 2-2-0, 2-3-0, 2-4-0, 2-5-0
- Larger Service Area crosspath now increases Sentry range by +4
- 2-0-1, 2-0-2, 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5
- Oversize Nails crosspath now allows Sentries to pop frozen Bloons
- Oversize Nails crosspath now increases Sentry pierce by 1
“
Finally last update we allowed Bloontrap to be set multiple times per round, and we wanted to stay on the side of caution with a long cooldown, but after seeing it in the wild we are happy to make this cooldown faster.

- Deconstruction: now grants all Sentries +1 damage to Fortified & MOAB

- Faster Engineering: rate buff to Bloon Traps increased ― 0.8× → 0.6×
- Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- 2-3-0, 2-4-0, 2-5-0
- Foam makes Sentries shoot Foamy nails that strip properties
“
The MOAB offense of top path lacks for a mainly dps tower that is quite complex to use [...] the 320 crosspath will now be able to double dip on the Fortified & MOAB damage bonuses that it gains.

- 2-2-0, 2-3-0, 2-4-0, 2-5-0
- Sentry: Deconstruction's bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons and Fortified Bloons are no longer mutually exclusive
“
XXXL Trap 205 crosspath hasn’t actually ‘been working’ due to the base attack rate being faster than minimum deployment delay so we have slowed the base rate to make 205 crosspath actually matter.

- Trap attack: Deploy rate reduced ― 2.8s → 3.48s
- Note: 2.8s min cooldown is unchanged
“
Sentry placements are slightly changing to improve their reliability, and will now spawn closer to the track depending on how much range the sentry has.

- Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Sentry deployment: Sentries now spawn within 20% of their range to the track
“
Middle crosspath feels too good for Bloontraps because of the massive quality of life it brings, so we’re pushing the DPS more for top crosspath by allowing Double Gun to also double the projectiles of Sentries.

- 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5
- Double Gun Sentries now shoot two projectiles at once
- 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5
- Sentry: Double Guns upgrade no longer reduces their pierce ― 2 → 3 (bug fix)
“
This was becoming annoying screen clutter with large numbers of sentries, and feels unnecessary when you can overclock the engineer itself to create more sentries instead.

- Nail: No longer has +1 bonus MOAB damage (bug fix)
Overclock and Ultraboost abilities no longer target Engineer sentries
“
Really only one major change here; a rebalancing to how the 2xx Crosspath applies across various engineer upgrades, and some base stats being changed to accommodate fitting this.
