Sharp Shooter is the Dart Monkey's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. With this upgrade, every 10th projectile shot by the Dart Monkey becomes a crit shot that deals 50 damage instead of the normal amount. Additionally, this upgrade increases its non-crit damage from 3 to 6, and increases its attack speed by +100% from every 0.95s to every 0.475s. It also increases its projectile speed by 33%, but reduces its projectile lifespan, so the maximum travel distance of its projectiles remains about the same.
With, Sharp Shots, shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +5 pierce (total of +8 pierce) with Razor Sharp Shots; in total, they have 7 and 12 pierce, respectively.

For its cost, Sharp Shooter is a decent tower for early mid-game, with its crit shots breaking down blimps fairly well and occasionally one-shotting Ceramic Bloons. However, it suffers from low pierce and consistency when not placed on straight lines. Additionally, extra damage can hurt its performance against Ceramics: Sharp Shooter's 6 damage normally pops them fully in three hits, but buffing it with Berserker Brew or adding low-damage towers causes Ceramics to be popped into fast-moving Yellow or Pink clumps.
0-2-4 is generally preferred for higher single-target damage and reliability, but 2-0-4 can be used if other towers are present to cover leaks and the map has plenty of straight lines.

Dart Monkey at its core is an early game focus tower, so we added some projectile speed options to try and help with its tendency to miss faster Bloons.

We're happy enough with most of Dart Monkey's bottom path, but the T4 stepping stone has always felt pretty undesirable for the price point compared to T3 so we have just increased the attack rate slightly at tier 4

[...] and we’ve tweaked sharpshooter slightly to provide similar power but with more of a speed focus to enable more distinct crosspath choice between speed and pierce.

The previous sharpshooter rework caused more trouble than intended in setups without much other cleanup by popping Black Bloons into large clusters of reds which then clogged up the pierce. We decided to keep the buffed attack speed value as well as adding back the stronger damage value.

To add a little more synergetic crosspath use for the Juggernaut 402 crosspath, xx2 will now also grant bonus projectile lifespan, this applies to any use of that crosspath though we feel it will in particular pair nicely with the ricocheting projectiles. Juggernaut in general is also seeing a small utility knockback buff to help it carry on a little longer into the game.

- Enhanced Eyesight now grants +20% maximum projectile distance

As Sharpshooter’s crit occurrence didn’t feel frequent enough the overall attack rate has been increased also just to lead better into the T5’s already high rate of fire. Along with this all Crossbow criticals have been standardized

Current Sharp Shooter niches appear to struggle with some tight placement due to their high range opening up a ranged niche but being extremely tight on that range, given this is actually 'the range path' it feels fair to help this with a little further increased range.

Bottom path Dart Monkey has trouble with missing targets and tier 4 in particular seems to be a poor stepping stone for Crosspath Master, so Sharpshooter will now grant a large projectile speed boost and has greater of an attack speed increase

Crossbow’s pierce is being increased to more effectively match the number of Child Bloons that spawn when targets are popped open, the pierce crosspath is being improved even further as this change does effectively nerf the crosspath.
