Damage Per Meter is a workshop upgrade that makes your tower deal more damage to enemies the farther away they are. The bonus grows with each full meter of distance between the enemy and your tower, rewarding you for hitting targets at long range.
Description
Damage Per Meter increases your tower's damage output based on enemy distance. The bonus is calculated per full meter of separation between the enemy and your tower. It does not scale fractionally — an enemy at 51.9 meters receives the same damage bonus as one at exactly 51 meters, since the value rounds down to the nearest whole meter.
Workshop
You unlock Damage Per Meter in the workshop for 50 coins, and it requires the Range upgrade to be purchased first. The workshop offers 200 levels total, starting from a base of 0%. Each level provides a smaller increase than the last until you reach level 70, after which every level adds a constant 0.0002%. The maximum workshop value caps out at 5.9%.

Calculation
Damage Per Meter stacks additively across distance. The formula is:
Damage × DPM% × Range
This means the farther an enemy is from your tower, the larger the total multiplier applied to your base damage.
