Shrapnel

This article is a guppy. Please help it grow into a King Guppy.

"Shrapnel drops bombs that blow up fish on contact but give lots of cash when clicked."

Obtained upon the completion of Tank 3-2.

What it does

Releases a bomb every 18 seconds. Flashes white shortly before releasing a bomb. Bombs are worth $150 in Adventure Mode and 5 Shells in Virtual Tank.

Strategy

Shrapnel gives an average of $8.33/sec, which is the highest of all direct money producing pets (the others are Niko $6.25/sec, Vert $5.83/sec). This makes it quite effective early on, but becomes less so later on when there is more danger of blowing up on a fish.

Story

When talking about Shrapnel, the main question is usually: What are the market forces of supply and demand that result in Shrapnel's bombs being worth $150? Alan Fishspan, chairman of the Federal Shell Reserve answers: "This is a response to the current low rate on 30 year mortgages, combined with the strong performance of the Euro against the dollar."
