“	Can coat 2 Bloons per shot.	”
	^{~ In-game description}

Bigger Globs is the first upgrade of Path 2 for the Glue Gunner in Bloons TD 6. It increases pierce of the glue by +1, allowing the base Glue Gunner to glue two bloons per shot instead of one. The +1 pierce bonus also applies to the Relentless Glue's on-pop stunwaves and Bloon Liquefier's acid puddles.

This upgrade costs $85 on Easy, $100 on Medium, $110 on Hard, and $120 on Impoppable.

Description[]

Overview[]

The Glue Gunner's hose end is now colored orange instead of dark yellow. The carryable silo that contains the glue is now dark blue, wrapped with a grey strap, and an orange-colored bottle cap.

Bigger Globs increases pierce by +1, gluing one more bloon per shot.

Bigger Globs is considered a Level 1 glue, unless given higher-tier glues, specifically at least Corrosive Glue or MOAB Glue. Higher-tier upgrades can override this glue.

Targeting Priorities[]

Bigger Globs targets bloons using the standard targeting priorities. It shoots straight movement projectiles.

First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range.
Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range.
Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range.
Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

As a simple upgrade, Bigger Globs serves as a way for the Glue Gunner to circumvent one of its greatest weaknesses, a lack of effectivity against groups of bloons. By increasing pierce by one, it allows the Glue Gunner to effectively double its influence at less than half of the base cost. It also serves as a stepping stone for Glue Splatter, an upgrade that is considerably more effective as well as considerably more costly. For an early game, using this upgrade instead of its superior version may be the more viable option if money is low.

It also is very effective with MOAB Glue, with the essentially double pierce hitting more MOAB-Class Bloons in the short-run, making it better for slowing several MOABs simultaneously versus slowing the MOAB and its children.

Tips[]

It is currently more cost-effective to use one Bigger Globs than multiple of other tiers, unless needing another path of glue or if there is a pierce-buffing source like Primary Training.

24.0

Bigger Globs now correctly adds 1 extra pierce to Bloon Liquefier.

“	Our Glue rework last update wasn't quite ready soon enough to go through in depth balancing of how the new mechanics felt before release, but we still wanted to just get them out and see what people thought anyway, so this is mostly just a bit of catch up on that with fixes to crosspathing value.	”
