Strategy[]

Summary[]

This is a basic attack speed bonus for the Bomb Shooter, which helps it apply explosions at a faster rate, although Bigger Bombs may be the better option for countering large groups of slower bloons.

Tips[]

  • Although mostly used as a stepping stone for the next upgrade, Missile Launcher, It might be used as a 2-1-0, for the extra damage.

Trivia[]

  • Although Faster Reload was claimed by NK to be buffed in attack speed bonus from +20% to +25%, it was actually buffed from +25% to +33%, the 20% and 25% values are actually the decrease in attack cooldown.
