Banana Hole (ScrapTD)

Banana Hole is the third barrel in ScrapTD and is automatically unlocked.

Strategical use
Banana Hole is an useful barrel in many ways. It's suggested to level it to level 10 or higher - it's worth the bricks. In the high arena area it's a killer, note it is the third barrel of sixteen. Defending it needs many Gatling Guns (5-7, depending on their level) in the right places like shown in the picture, placing it somewhere else makes it harder to defeat, not placing enough too, but after purchasing one or two Airstrike it's not a problem anymore.

The Abilities make the whole thing more interesting. Using the double barrels ability when both players are spamming banana hole can result in a win, the abilities faster barrels and freeze can allow it to do lots of damage and win too.

However, Gatling Gun may really struggle to it if it's seriously underleveled and the barrel is seriously overleveled, so the former is actually worth upgrading with bricks since this barrel is already a menace to society for the early game.

Overall use
Banana Hole albeit is a must-have barrel to send because it can not only build up your scrap production decently well, but also pressures your adversaries sometimes if they have minimum Gatling Gun defences on their side.

Send this barrel once you've prepared at least 5 Gatling Guns up before they send you some, and get at least 30k/50k scrap production and go for an Airstrike if necessary or send them a Billboard to pressure the adversary and force them to build a Shooting Box if they have enough scrap to do so.

Still, the perfect early-game barrel for most players to take advantage of, even in the lower arenas.
