| ~ In-game description |
Stickier Glue is the first upgrade of Path 3 for the Glue Gunner in Bloons TD 6. It increases glue lifespan, lasting for up to 24.0 seconds instead of 11.0 seconds. It also allows acid puddles of the Bloon Liquefier or The Bloon Solver to carry over an extra round; however, it won't grant extra lifespan, which requires the Stronger Glue crosspath. Stickier Glue also doubles the duration of the Glue Storm ability.
This upgrade costs $240 on Easy, $280 on Medium, $300 on Hard, and $335 on Impoppable.
Description[]
Overview[]
Stickier Glue
This upgrade adds a glob of yellow glue on to Glue Gunner's head. This also includes Bloon Dissolver and Bloon Liquefier.
Stickier Glue increases lifespan of the glue from 11.0s to 24.0s, among other crosspathing benefits to other Glue Gunners.
Stickier Glue is considered a Level 1 glue, unless given higher-tier glues, specifically with Corrosive Glue or higher, higher-tier upgrades can override this glue.
Targeting Priorities[]
Stickier Glue targets bloons using the standard targeting priorities. It shoots straight movement projectiles.
- First: Targets the first bloon visible within its range.
- Last: Targets the last bloon visible within its range.
- Close: Targets the closest bloon visible within its range.
- Strong: Targets the strongest bloon visible within its range.

Strategy[]
Summary[]
Without further upgrading to Stronger Glue, Stickier Glue provides limited but useful help, although Stickier Glue greatly helps Stronger Glue due to inheriting the longer-lasting glue properties. For instance, it can be paired with Corrosive Glue to let more layers of normal bloon to pop before wearing out.
Tips[]
- Stickier Glue helps with lifespan, making it useful in conjunction with middle crosspath when used for late-game Super Ceramics.
- It transitions well into Stronger Glue, which adds stronger slowdown, pairing well with the increased glue lifespan.
- As Stickier Glue is more expensive than two 0-0-0 Glues, Stickier Glue would still be more valuable if considering the possibility to linger the glue effect so other similar strength Glue Gunners won't target the already glued bloons.
Version History[]
Balance Changes[]
Stickier Glue was nerfed in Version 34.0 in an effort to indirectly nerf MOAB Glue without the Glue Splatter upgrade.
- 35.0

Trivia[]
- Corrosive Glue without this upgrade can only pop a Rainbow down to Yellows without additional pops. Purchasing Stickier Glue will allow an entire Rainbow to be popped completely, provided that there's enough space for the Rainbow Bloon to go through the track without leaking. For pre-Round-80 Ceramics, a 2-0-1 Glue Gunner is able to pop the whole Ceramic layer without additional pops, but not the Rainbows inside.
- Stickier Glue is the only BTD6 Glue Gunner upgrade moved to a different path compared to BTD5.
- On Medium Difficulty, a 0-0-1 Stickier Glue since Version 35.0 costs $110 more than the pre-34.0 0-0-1 Stickier Glue, which had the original $275 0-0-0 Glue Gunner cost.
