It increases the number of tacks fired per shot from 16 to 32, decreases attack cooldown by 35% (resulting in a 54% attack speed increase), and the tacks deal +1 damage to MOAB class bloons. It also gains range (even more when crosspathed with middle path) and, if crosspathed with middle path, it also gains an additional 7 pierce for a total of 12 pierce.

With pierce and range on the base Tack Zone so high that increases weren’t noticeable the middle crosspath was underserved. To balance crosspathing we have reworked the base Tack Zone around lower values then improving them greatly for the crosspaths.

Similar to Bomb, Tack Zone’s innate popping of Lead with obviously sharp projectiles no longer feels fitting and so along with a large price reduction the damage type stays Sharp.

Upgrade cost reduced ― $24,000 → $20,000

“
The Tack Zone’s all-purpose high single target & grouped DPS plus cleanup utility scales too well with so many options, as this is primarily intended to be the single-target damage path. To reinforce this we have traded off damage for a bonus to MOABs in order to nerf its unbuffed cleanup potential, so watch out for cluster and Super Ceramics now.

Tack Zone has so much base pierce the increase from 025 is rendered irrelevant no matter how large the upgrade bonus, so to fix this we must make the base pierce value low enough to actually struggle sometimes & we will give back extra attack rate to the base upgrade to compensate for this.

Every Tack Shooter Tier 3 needed a different attack rate boost, so to tidy this up we’ve moved much of that rate to the base tack shooter. Given the bottom path Tack is slightly nerfed from this rate change, it is seeing additional pierce to make an overall buff.
