Tips

 * Red Hot Rangs is an average upgrade on its own, which enables the Boomerang to deal 1 extra damage and pop Frozen and Lead bloons.
 * Its main use arises from crosspathing.
 * Top Path crosspath are generally better for Middle Path Boomerang upgrades, as middle path already is a damage powerhouse in the higher tiers.
 * For Top Path Boomerangs, however, Red Hot Rangs essentially doubles their popping power due to them only having 1 damage. Using a Berserker Brew or higher makes crossing the top path with the middle path better for DPS, however

Trivia

 * Unlike its BTD5 counterpart, Red Hot 'Rangs, the BTD6 version lacks an apostrophe before the word "Rangs".
 * Red Hot Rangs is the first upgrade with the Normal damage type introduced in the series, being introduced in Bloons Tower Defense 3.
