This tower is called Tack Tower in BTD1 but it is called Tack Shooter in BTD2, BTD3, BTD4 and BTD5. It shoots a volley of tacks in eight directions. It has short range, but is good for thinning out Bloons at intersections and corners. It is good for assisting a Dart Monkey as it is a reasonably cheap attacking tower. Very useful in the beginning to the middle of a level if used wisely.
