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

Fire rate increased ― 2s → 1.59s

To retain value in more Lead-heavy situations including against DDTs, this upgrade that has always allowed Lead popping to main attack will now also grant this to the Shrapnel from any shrapnel shot snipers mixing in this upgrade

- Now changes the damage type of shrapnel to Normal
“
Elite Defender falls off a lot after midgame & really lacks any true cross pathing choice, so it has had some MOAB damage added to the base attack with the amount improved from crosspathing.

- Full Metal Jacket now increases Elite Defender's damage to MOAB-class by 1
- Deals +3 damage to MOAB-class overall (due to changes to Elite Defender's base stats)
“
Sniper is feeling really good, but Elite Defender gaining further increased MOAB Damage locked behind the 205 crosspath feels unnecessary now given how much current crosspath balance has started leaning towards favoring 205 anyway.

Full Metal Jacket no longer increases Elite Defender's damage to MOAB-class by 1
- Overall damage to MOAB-class for this crosspath increased ― +3 → +4 (due to changes to Elite Defender's base stats)

Lower tier Shrapnel crosspathing balance doesn’t feel great currently, so the damage crosspath benefits at T1 & T2 are improving.

Strategy
Full Metal Jacket is a versatile early-game tower, chipping away higher-tier Bloons and reliably dealing with the Leads of Rounds 28 and 30 on nearly all maps. However, more lead-popping defense is needed for Rounds 37 and 38 on shorter maps. The 1-1-0 Sniper Monkey is a very cheap option to pop early Camo Leads, in particular those in Alternate Bloons Rounds. 1-2-0 Sniper Monkey's shrapnel helps to break apart groups of Bloons, especially multiple Lead Bloons, but is unreliable for precise damage and falls off when not shooting Bloons heads-on.
For crosspathing purposes, Full Metal Jacket is recommended for all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys against Boss Bloons (except Phayze) and when they cannot be placed so that Bloons mostly travel facing them (in which case shrapnel functions worse). If crosspathing with Full Metal Jacket, it is strongly recommended to crosspath further by purchasing Large Calibre. While middle-path Snipers benefit from the extra damage and lead-popping for all shots, Full Metal Jacket is still the sub-par crosspath for them. This is due to Full Metal Jacket preventing them from receiving Geraldo's Sharpening Stone and the bottom crosspath's extra attack speed (while retaining 1 damage shrapnels) providing much stronger synergies with all buffs.
