Strategy[]
Summary[]
Faster Shooting increases the fire rate of the Tack Shooter by 33%, increasing its damage output considerably. With an increased fire rate and a naturally high projectile count, Faster Shooting and subsequent upgrades in this path provide good MOAB-class Bloon damage for their price. In conjunction with More Tacks and Even More Tacks, the faster fire rate can deal plenty of damage to single MOAB-class targets in the early game.
Tips[]
- On CHIMPS, a 1-0-1 Tack Shooter is affordable at the start of the game.
- Faster Shooting and Even Faster Shooting is the preferred crosspath for The Tack Zone, allowing it to attack 66% faster and significantly bolsters its MOAB-class damage output as a result.
Version History[]
Tiny buff due to the base Tack Shooter attack speed buff.
- 7.0
- Attack speed increased (1.2s → 1.05s), as a result of the base Tack Shooter attack speed buff

Trivia[]
- The emblem of a Faster Shooting Tack Shooter in BTD6 uses three tacks. In BTD5, the Tack Shooter's top emblem only features more tacks when given its respective Even Faster Shooting upgrade.
