How to use Large Calibre
Large Calibre raises bullet damage from 4 to 7. With Shrapnel Shot each shrapnel piece gets +1 damage, and on Bouncing Bullet and its upgrades the bounce distance doubles from 40 to 80 units.
When to buy it
On its own it is poor value. Two Full Metal Jackets cost less and deal more single-target damage, and one-shotting Zebras rarely matters because early rounds mix in other Bloons. Note that 7 damage can pop a fresh Ceramic straight into a swarm of Yellows if nothing has softened it first.
It is mainly a crosspath for tier 3+ Snipers:
- 2-0-3 and up: the stronger crosspath for bottom path Snipers against Boss Events and on maps where the Sniper cannot be placed to shoot Bloons head-on. Phayze is the exception, since it needs the middle path's Camo detection.
- 2-3-0 and up: longer bounces and more shrapnel damage for Bouncing Bullet, Supply Drop and Elite Sniper. It is more self-sufficient than the bottom path crosspath, but works less well with outside buffs.
Is it worth it?
Only as a crosspath or as the step to Deadly Precision. Standalone, buy a second Full Metal Jacket instead.
