Version History

Faster Firing got a price cut.

Initial release (compared to BTD6 during Version 28.0)

• Faster Firing costs less ($400 → $350)

3.2

• Faster Firing costs less ($350 → $250)
  • Overall price decrease is $200 due to $100 price reduction on the base Sniper.

“	Sniper Monkey also lacks early game efficiency, being most used for its tier 3/4/5 upgrades way past the early game. Additionally, Sniper hasn’t been particularly prevalent in highest arenas recently, so we have made quite a few price cuts to the early upgrades to encourage Sniper to be used more and to potentially provide some more use cases for it in the early game.	”

4.2.1 OTA Update 2

• Cost increased from $250 to $300
• 0-4-1: ability cooldown reduced by 5 seconds (to 45s)

“	We were a little too successful in trying to increase the popularity of the Sniper Monkey as it is now the single most used tower in the game, surpassing even the Banana Farm. [...] We’ve also increased the cooldown of the Supply Drop ability and added ability cooldown reductions to the bottom path to create a choice between the more offensive 240 Sniper farm or the more efficient 042.	”
