Shrapnel Shot is the Sniper Monkey's path 2 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. With this upgrade, each shot from the Sniper Monkey emits 5 shrapnel projectiles from behind the target in a 45° angle spread. Each shrapnel projectile deals 1 damage, +1 damage to Camo Bloons (inherited from Night Vision Goggles), and can pop up to 2 Bloons. Shrapnel does not deal damage to the target initially hit by the bullet.
Crosspathing modifies the shrapnel:
- Full Metal Jacket: Pops frozen Bloons and Lead Bloons
- Large Calibre: Shrapnel damage increased from 1 to 2.
- Deadly Precision: Shrapnel does 5 damage and pierce increased to 4.
- Maim MOAB and Cripple MOAB: Applies stun/debuff for full duration compared to the bullet.
- Semi-Automatic: Shrapnel pierce increased from 2 to 3.

A cheap group-popping upgrade. Like all Sniper upgrades, it's weak for its cost for early-game; however, it gains more value in its higher tier upgrades. In particularly, it's the grouped stun/debuff crosspath for Maim MOAB and Cripple MOAB, and a decent group-popper via Tier 3+ bottom path.

Sniper Monkey also lacks early game efficiency, being most used for its tier 3/4/5 upgrades way past the early game. Additionally, Sniper hasn’t been particularly prevalent in highest arenas recently, so we have made quite a few price cuts to the early upgrades to encourage Sniper to be used more and to potentially provide some more use cases for it in the early game.

Since it’s hard to get much use out of Sniper in the early game, we’re giving it some simple early game buffs and improvements to crosspathing.

Version 4.2.1 (OTA update 2)
“
We were a little too successful in trying to increase the popularity of the Sniper Monkey as it is now the single most used tower in the game, surpassing even the Banana Farm. Sniper's popularity is due to it's versatility as an income source that also excels with both group popping through its shrapnel shot and at single targets with its high damage. We [...] also moved the 1xx shrapnel damage upgrade to 3xx so that only dedicated top path snipers can benefit from it.

Sniper is providing too much value for its low cost and money making ability. We are lowering its base attack speed to weaken its damage output to compensate.

Sniper is picked more often purely because it comes with efficient cash generation, so we are changing that to spread its effectiveness across all three of its paths
