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 their projectiles 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.

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.

Sentry Gun has several powerful synergies with this artifact. It increases both the firing speed of sentries and the rate at which they are deployed, causing the buff to effectively be applied twice. Additionally, neither sentries nor Engineer Monkeys gain increased spread on their attacks. Double Gun does gain increased spread to its main attack, but sentries deployed by it are still perfectly accurate.
