Bloontonium Reactor is the Monkey Sub's path 1 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It improves the Monkey Sub's decamo aura while submerged, allowing it to deal 1 damage to Bloons in addition to removing the Camo property. The damage aura has a pierce of 50 (compared to the decamo aura's pierce of 100) and cannot damage Lead Bloons. This upgrade also reduces the aura's attack cooldown by ~82.85%, effectively increasing its attack speed by ~5.83x. While Bloontonium Reactor is submerged, water-based towers within its range are granted a buff which reduces their ability cooldowns by 15%.
This upgrade increases the damage of Monkey Sub's darts from 1 to 2 when not submerged.

| “ | As Bloontonium Reactor rarely uses up enough pierce that the pierce crosspath would ever matter, a large chunk of this has been moved into the middle crosspath. — Update notes |

- Note: Does not affect Energizer (1000)

- Note: Pierce bonus increased from +14 to +50
| “ | The logic on a Lead crosspath not being required to give Lead popping to an attack based on something weak against Lead has never sat right, so we’re finally sorting that out and making sub a little angrier. — Update notes |
” |
Damage pulse: Damage type changed ― Normal → Shatter
- Note: 4-2-0 and 5-2-0 damage type remains Normal
| “ | Similar types of camo reveal like Shimmer/Signal Flare/Embrittlement are all pierce limited, but the Submerge sub has practically infinite pierce while also being extremely cheap with a very fast rate and a T4 that is far better at camo removal than those other towers can reach. Giving this upgrade a more reasonable pierce value brings these more in line and allows for the pierce crosspath to have some potential meaning. — Update notes |

Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 100
- 4-1-0
Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 120
- 4-2-0
Camo Pulse: Pierce reduced ― infinite → 150
| “ | We have come back a number of times to add, fix & balance sub crosspathing, over years of learning though it currently feels messy and we’d like simplification. Heat-Tipped Darts doesn’t increase base sub pierce, so it feels silly to require it for maximum pierce on Submerged subs. Likewise Airburst shouldn’t be required to maximize the rate of submerged subs, instead we’d rather give people an easier way to work with the Airburst attack if they desire to upgrade to it so ‘Submerge’ is moving to a new Tower Special rather than target priority. — Update notes |
