The Sniper Monkey is a Military tower in Bloons TD 6. It can be unlocked at levels 7 through 12.

The Sniper Monkey attacks by shooting at Bloons with its rifle from any distance, dealing 2 damage. Rather than shooting a projectile, its shots deal damage to the target instantly. Each shot deals 2 damage to the target, but it cannot pop Lead Bloons or frozen Bloons, and it cannot detect Camo Bloons. It has a moderately slow attack speed (attacks every 1.59s) and can only hit one Bloon at a time.

It can be upgraded to deal more damage and pop Lead and frozen, stun MOAB-Class Bloons with its shots, shoot much faster, detect Camo Bloons and deal more damage to them, produce shrapnel with each hit, fire bullets that ricochet to nearby Bloons, buff all Sniper Monkeys with faster attack speed and an exclusive targeting priority, and call in crates containing cash with its Activated Abilities.

This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff
