Triple Guns

"Adds a third gun for even faster firing."

- Bloons TD 6 Description

Triple Guns is the third upgrade of Path 3 for the Monkey Sub in BTD6. It adds a third gun to the Monkey Sub that increases the attack speed by a further 50%, in total shooting 3x as fast as a normal Monkey Sub. The third gun functions exactly the same as the other two. This upgrade inherits the properties from Airburst Darts, allowing each main dart to burst into 3 more darts for additional damage.

It costs $935 on Easy, $1,100 on Medium, $1,190 on Hard and $1,320 on Impoppable.

Summary
Improving the power of the Airburst Darts attack, the Triple Guns upgrade is an efficient early mid-game DPS tower, especially when paired with Advanced Intel. Like Airburst Darts, Triple Guns pairs well with Alch buffs, as it still attacks slow enough that it does not wear out the buffs faster than they can be applied. It is a very popular tower on CHIMPS games with water, often as a part of a Sub Commander army, and each Triple Guns has the potential to be further upgraded to Armor Piercing Darts for much higher MOAB-class damage and extra dart pierce.

Tips

 * Pair with Berserker Brew or Stronger Stimulant for increased performance.
 * Before Version 7.0, it was wiser to purchase more Triple Guns than purchasing more Armor Piercing Darts when it comes to beating Super Ceramics. With the increased damage buff to Armor Piercing Darts, it is more efficient to upgrade some of the Triple Gun Monkey Subs to Armor Piercing Darts. However, more Triple Gun Monkey Subs are much more useful if pierce is more of a necessity than damage.
 * Two Triple Guns is more cost-efficient than purchasing three Airburst Darts when it comes to price.
 * On almost all occasions, it is better off purchasing Advanced Intel for Triple Guns, which maximizes the range that it can attack around. This usually is far superior to both slightly increased pierce from Barbed Darts and simple lead-popping power from Heat-Tipped Darts combined.
 * One 2-0-3 Sub costs $3785 on Hard Mode, which is particularly useful to know in CHIMPS Mode ($350 + $140 + $540 + $485 + $1080 + $1190).

Trivia

 * Triple Guns is one of the few Tier 3 upgrades that purely only adds a basic attack speed increase of the tower, excluding adding special crosspathing benefits, the others are Semi-Automatic, Glue Hose, Destroyer, and Sprockets (if buffing its sentries also counts). Bionic Boomerang used to only add a basic attack speed increase, but it also deals extra MOAB-class damage because of a previous buff.
 * The army cap on the Triple Guns artwork is actually turned towards the viewer's right, which means that the monkey on the Sub is wearing it sideways.
