Shoots a glob of monkey glue at a single bloon. Glued bloons move more slowly than normal.
~ Bloons TD 5 Description

Glue Gunner is a monkey tower that shoots blobs of glue that slow down affected bloons. It slows down bloons to 50% speed (40% for Glue Hose, and 30% with Glue Striker Ability, Flash only) by shooting them with globs of glue. It costs $230 on Easy, $270 on Medium, $290 on Hard, and $325 on Impoppable. In all Flash versions of BTD5 games, Ceramic Bloons can be glued but won't be slowed by it. In other games, the Glue Gunner can slow down Ceramic Bloons.

Differences Between BTD5 Flash and BTD5 Mobile[]

  • BUFF Glue can slow down Ceramic Bloons.
  • BUFF Glue Splatter can create 2 splats at a time when the Glue Gunner is under the influence of an x/1 Monkey Village.
  • NERF Glue hose splat 6 bloons at a time instead of 12.
  • NERF Glue Striker slows bloons down to 50% instead of 40%.

Version History (Bloons TD Battles Mobile)[]

Glue Gunner was considered to be one of, if not the weakest towers in Bloons TD Battles Mobile, due to a lack of camo-affecting and MOAB-class-affecting capabilities, as well as the upgrades being far too expensive for their effect on bloons. Because of this, it has been drastically buffed, especially the upgrades that involve more popping power. But despite these buffs, there are still no popular loadouts that use the Glue Gunner. Now in 6.6, they can hit MOAB-class when upgraded to Tier 3 or higher, but for half the slowdown (33%) and half the duration.

3.1
  • BUFF Glue Hose price decreased ($3250 → $2200).
  • BUFF Bloon Liquefier price decreased ($12500 → $6000).
  • BUFF Glue Striker price decreased ($5500 → $4000).
3.2
  • BUFF Glue Splatter price decreased ($2200 → $1500).
  • BUFF The Glue Projectile the Glue Gunner shoots has a larger hitbox.
4.1
The poor Glue Gunner is very rarely used outwith R3 games, so a vast price reduction of, perhaps its most useful upgrade, will hopefully see the tower included in more loadouts!
~ "BTD Battles Update 4.1 - Big Balance Changes Incoming!"
  • BUFF Glue Splatter price decreased ($1500 → $900).
4.6
We've dropped the price of the Glue Striker ability and made the Bloon Liquefier upgrade significantly more powerful to hopefully make it a more viable tower choice.
~ "BTD Battles Update 4.6 Balance Changes"
  • BUFF Glue Strike price decreased ($4000 → $2500).
  • BUFF Bloon Liquefier splat radius increased by 25% and splats more (6 → 10) when Glue Splatter is also bought.
4.9
The Glue Gunner still doesn't see as much use as we'd like and we think a sticking point is its lack of popping power compared to other towers at a similar price point. We've lowered the cost of some of its most useful upgrades to hopefully make it a more viable tower choice.
~ "BTD Battles Update 4.9 Balance Changes"
  • BUFF Tower price decreased ($270 → $225).
  • BUFF Glue Soak price decreased ($200 → $150).
  • BUFF Bloon Dissolver price decreased ($3200 → $2900).
  • NERF Glue Gunner projectiles and Glue Splatters no longer duplicate when the tower is under an influence of a Monkey Fort.
6.0
  • BUFF Glue Splatter price decreased ($900 → $600)
6.6
  • BUFF Glue Gunner can now hit MOAB-class bloons when upgraded to Tier 3 or above. Slowdown value on MOAB-Class bloons, however, was bugged so it slows and lasts as long as it does on regular bloons than what was intended (50% duration and 33% slowdown)
6.7
  • NERF Bugfix: Glue Gunner's glue now lasts half as long on MOAB-Class bloons.
  • BUFF New bug: Glue slowdown on MOAB Class bloons is now increased (50% → 66% slower (instead of the intended 33%))
6.12
  • BUFF Glue Hose and Glue Striker slowdown increased (33% -> 40%)
  • BUFF Glue Striker ability now applies glue to newly spawned bloons for 3s
6.15
  • BUFF Glue Gunner base pierce increased (1 -> 2)
  • BUFF Corrosive Glue damage tick rate increased by +15%
6.15.1
  • NERF Glue Splatter no longer pierces bloons
  • BUFF Glue Splatter's splatter pierce increased (6 -> 7)
