Quad Darts is the Heli Pilot's path 1 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. This upgrade actually grants Heli Pilot a new attack which has identical stats to its standard attack, and which fires simultaneously.[fn 1] In effect, this increases the number of darts fired per shot from 2 to 4.

If Comanche Defense is purchased, this upgrade increases the number of darts fired by mini-comanches from 3 to 5 per shot.

Strategy

Quad Darts greatly adds the number of projectiles per shot, amplifying its total DPS. It's the preferred crosspath to almost all Heli Pilots, with exception of middle path (Downdraft's blowback is not affected by Quad Darts crosspath, and Special Poperations's Marine has insignificant value with it) and T3 MOAB Shove, to maximize DPS. For lower-tier Helis, this is the most efficient single-target and grouped damage crosspath, and cheaper than a second Heli.

  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions
  • Neutral After changing targeting off of Lock in Place or Patrol Points, changing back returns the target(s) to how it was previously
  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Movement speed decreased ― 45 → 40

Footnotes

[edit | edit source]
  1. Technically, this is distinct from simply increasing the number of projectiles fired per shot. For the purposes of Acidic Mixture Dip and Berserker Brew buffs, a volley of 4 darts is considered 2 shots, not 1.
