Strategy[]
Summary[]
Adding more range can be useful, but it is not very useful in itself.
Tips[]
- It is a bit too expensive for a simple small range upgrade. Other upgrades would be preferred unless opting for its successor Super Range Tacks.

- Affected by base Tack Shooter attack speed buff

| “ | Inferno Ring has felt very outclassed for a long time, and more recently the tack shooter was reworked to give pierce on x2x which made the old 402 pierce crosspath not make as much sense anymore. We wanted to start work on both these issues together by reworking how Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring interact with crosspaths | ” |
| ~ Ninja Kiwi, referring to Ring of Fire and Inferno Ring |
- Now also gives Ring of Fire with +10 pierce on top of an existing range boost.

Trivia[]
- The first range upgrade for the Tack Shooter was only ever changed to "Long Range Tacks" in BTD6. In all other instances except BTD3, the name was "Extra Range Tacks". In BTD3, it was "Longer Range".
- In BTD6, Longer Range is the name of the Monkey Sub's base range upgrade.
