Bloon Buster (BTD6)

"Smash through 2 layers of Bloon at once!"

- In-game description

Bloon Buster is the second upgrade of Path 1 for the Mortar Monkey in Bloons TD 6. It increases damage of each explosion by +1. Otherwise, it remains statistically identical to its previous upgrade, Bigger Blast.

It costs $425 on Easy, $500 on Medium, $540 on Hard, and $600 on Impoppable.

Appearance
The barrel and base of the Mortar become white and its rings become yellow. For upgrades from Burny Stuff and above, the fire decal becomes yellow.

Costs

 * Updated as of Version 30.0

Summary
Gives the Mortar Monkey with extra damage for better effectiveness versus stronger bloons. This is especially so during the early-game, but it is also very helpful as a crosspath for Heavy Shells and Artillery Battery.

Tips

 * Like Bomb Shooter's Heavy Bombs upgrade, this upgrade can avoid spawning Black Bloons when popping Lead Bloons.

Trivia

 * So far, this is the only upgrade that was downgraded from a tier 3 to a tier 2 upgrade in BTD6.
 * The upgrade icon shows a yellow being popped to a red, although no version of a 2-X-X mortar can deal 3 damage in one hit, or even deal exactly 3 damage at all.
 * Fittingly, The Big One, part of the same upgrade path, is the only other mortar upgrade with inconsistencies between upgrade icon and function.
