It costs $500.
Strategy[]
Summary[]
Gives the Mortar Monkey extra damage to better combat multi-layer Bloons in the early game. Though this upgrade mainly serves as a stepping stone for The Big One. It is also the preferred crosspath for Heavy Shells and Artillery Battery.
Tips[]
- Like Bomb Shooter's Heavy Bombs upgrade, this upgrade can layer-skip Black Bloons when popping Lead Bloons.
Bugs[]
- Current
- [1.10.3] 2-0-2 Mortar deal 4 burn DoT damage, allowing them to trivialize all rounds until Round 17 MOABs. This bug is related to a recent buff to Burny Stuff applying to Black properties, and is likely a result of fiddling around with code related to Burny Stuff. An example is recorded on r/battles2 for the bug showcase (2-0-3 Mortar shown).

Trivia[]
- The upgrade icon depicts a Yellow Bloon destroyed into a Red Bloon, but this is not true in the BTDB2 counterpart. It matches in BTD6, however.
