Sentry Gun is the Engineer Monkey's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. With this upgrade, the Engineer can deploy Sentry sub-towers within its range to pop Bloons. It deploys a Sentry every 10 seconds and each one lasts for 25 seconds (30 seconds with Vigilant Sentries Vigilant Sentries). If possible, an Engineer will spawn sentries at locations where the range of its sentries can cover at least 20% of the track. At base, sentries attack every 0.95s, pop up to 2 bloons, and have 40 range.

Crosspaths will affect newly spawned sentries.

  • Larger Service Area: +4 range (total: 44)
  • Deconstruction: Sentries deal +1 damage to Fortified and +1 damage to MOAB-class.
  • Cleansing Foam: Sentries can cleanse bloons it hits, but will not grant damage to DDTs or shielded Dreadbloon.
  • Oversize Nails: +1 pierce (total: 3), and changes damage type from sharp to shatter.
  • Double Gun: Sentries shoot two projectiles per shot

Icon of "the greatest challenge" This article or section uses Cargo to generate its content. It will automatically fill up as other articles are completed.

  • Buff Sentry: pierce increased ― 1 → 2
  • Nerf Sentry: No longer gains Camo detection after loading a save (bug fix)
  • Buff 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.
— Update notes
1-1-0, 1-2-0, 1-3-0, 1-4-0, 1-5-0
  • Buff Larger Service Area crosspath now increases Sentry range by +4
1-0-1, 1-0-2, 1-0-3, 1-0-4, 1-0-5
  • Buff Oversize Nails crosspath now allows Sentries to pop frozen Bloons
  • Buff Oversize Nails crosspath now increases Sentry pierce by 1
1-2-0, 1-3-0, 1-4-0, 1-5-0
  • Buff Deconstruction: now grants all Sentries +1 damage to Fortified & MOAB
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
1-3-0, 1-4-0, 1-5-0
  • Buff 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.
— Update notes
1-2-0, 1-3-0, 1-4-0, 1-5-0
  • Buff Sentry: Deconstruction's bonus damage to MOAB-Class Bloons and Fortified Bloons are no longer mutually exclusive
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.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff 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.
— Update notes
1-0-3, 1-0-4, 1-0-5
  • Buff Double Gun Sentries now shoot two projectiles at once
1-0-3, 1-0-4, 1-0-5
  • Buff 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.
— Update notes
  • Neutral Overclock and Ultraboost abilities no longer target Engineer sentries
  • Change Description changed ― Creates temporary sentry guns and deploys them nearby. → Creates temporary sentry guns and deploys them close to track anywhere in radius.
