BB Gatling Gun is a type of Artifact in the Rogue Legends DLC of Bloons TD 6. It reduces the attack cooldown of towers but makes the projectiles of such towers deviate in a random angle between ±30° from their intended target as a trade-off, similar to a Dartling Gunner. The projectile deviation overrides the full accuracy of Hawk's Eye. The Common version of this artifact multiplies the attack cooldown of the tower's attacks by 0.85×, 0.75× for Rare and 0.6× for Legendary, resulting in an attack speed increase of 17%, 33% and 67% respectively. Galaxili starts with the Common variant of this artifact.

Strategy

This artifact provides a powerful and universal increase to attack speed, making it a great option for many towers. The random projectile spread, however, means that many towers will also lose some consistency as a result, especially against faster Bloons such as Pinks and Ceramics. As a result, it is especially good on towers with attacks that are very difficult to miss, such as homing attacks and instant hits.

Using this artifact on towers such as the Dartling Gunner is risky due to the random spread stacks on top of what they already have, resulting in a very wide cone of fire. This combined with the small projectile size of their darts make for a very inconsistent tower. Plasma Accelerator is an exception to this, as its beam attack is not affected by random spread.
