Key Features

Play Social - The Co-Op main menu button has been updated to make room for more social features, including the Content Browser and visibility to weekly Co-Op challenges when those are running. We're keen to keep adding more fun ways to play together and share creations, so watch for more here in future updates!
Odyssey Creator & Browser! You've been able to make your own Challenges - now put them together in player-created Odysseys! Use all of the features you'd expect from Challenge creation but put them together with a theme, Odyssey difficulty (including Extreme!), and Crew restrictions and make the best Odysseys you can dream up for friends and community.
Monkey Teams: Stick to the chosen team to earn extra rewards! To mix things up with an alternative to the Golden Bloon, Monkey teams will be assigned to a random map in each category similar to the Golden Bloon, however for this event players have the option of beating the map using only their hero along with 3 randomly selected towers. If the game is completed without breaking this team rule then a small monkey money bonus will be awarded. Monkey Teams and Golden Bloon will alternate for variety, and both can be running while Collection Events are on.

Big Changes / Additions

Freeplay rounds from 121 to 140 have now been added in the default round set, so like the recent 101-120 additions, these will now be consistent rounds. Interesting, I wonder if Ninja Kiwi is up to something...
Minor tweaks have been made to the previously added 101 - 120 fixed freeplay rounds.
Player regions in Co-op are now labelled with their name

Bug Fixes & General Changes

Performance optimizations made to tower targeting
Localization corrections made - native and fluent speakers please keep flagging non-English translations that are bugging you!
Resolved an issue where towers would sometimes not have a complete range circle
Default & Reset towers in Challenge Creation will now default to select hero
Resolved an issue where the Hide Completed filter in the Challenge viewer would only be able to hide a maximum of 1024 challenges (so awesome that some of you were having this problem!)
Hitting the send round button in races will no longer trigger a flag animation if all rounds have already been sent (if you liked just waving the flag, let us know if you want that or some other trophy store animations to play during races, especially if you're making videos)
Resolved some minor UI loading issues when changing menus
Resolved a visual issue with Ravine's Sword Easter Egg after restarting
Resolved an issue with Lotus Island flowers not recharging correctly after use
Quitting and loading a save on round 100 should now award Instamonkeys upon completion of the round
Base Avatars no longer display as limited time under some odd circumstances
Resolved a UI issue where Full Tower Unlock purchase would leave newly acquired upgrades as greyed out
Resolved some issues with some hotkeys not working correctly after a game restart
Resolved hero level 20 level up animation issue

Ice Monkey

x3x Arctic Wind will no longer retain its frozen platforms after being transformed by an Alchemist as this could cause a crash upon ability expiration

Glue Gunner

xx5 Super Glue can now re-target Bloons that is has already Glued after stun expires

Sniper Monkey

x4x Supply Drop sniper crate ability should no longer land inside high terrain

Monkey Sub

3xx Submerge and Support should no longer be possible to disconnect tower location from visible model

Monkey Buccaneer

5xx Carrier Flagship has had a desync between the Flagship platforms when placed on moving platforms resolved
xx5 Trade Empire should correctly buff the damage of other Merchantmen in CHIMPS

Monkey Ace

010 Exploding Pineapple should no longer display the wrong number on every 2nd Pineapple

Heli Pilot

x04 Comanche Defense should now correctly be able to spawn Mini-Comanche if it is granted camo detection from an external source
xx4 Comanche Defense should no longer be completely and utterly bonk on Workshop
x5x Special Poperations will no longer crash the game if disabling MK after picking up a door gunner

Super Monkey

x3x Robo Monkey now remembers target priorities when loading saves

Druid

3xx Druid of the Storm blowback should correctly remove ongoing glue damage effects from Bloons when the slow is removed

Striker Jones

Lv5 debuff to Black Bloon immunity should no longer fail to work on Zebra Children from MOABs in rare cases

Adora

Lv10 Ball of Light no longer breaks when she is placed above an Arctic Wind on water

Desktop Version

BTD6 is now available on Windows Store, full PC features have been enabled.
Hotkeys are now available to view and edit from the pause menu in-game
Improved Steam Rich Presence (moving onto Twitch features now - if you're a Twitch streamer let us know what features and support you'd like to see, or anything that's making it difficult or frustrating to stream BTD6)

Balance Changes

Dart Monkey

While overall good, the difficulty of using PMFC to its full potential doesn't feel quite worth it so price has been cut to make it a little easier to reach.

x5x Plasma Fan Club price reduced from $50,000 -> 45,000

Boomerang Monkey

To reduce some top crosspath dominance, have middle path stay the true speed crosspath and also provide a small buff to the base Boomerang, Glaive's attack speed bonus has been moved down into the base Boomerang Tower. Glaive Lord's innate lead popping has been removed to allow that meaning to remain in the crosspath along with price being reduced to compensate. MOAB Domination's explosion has had pierce increased to improve consistency on children Bloons.

000 Boomerang attack delay reduced from 1.42 -> 1.2
2xx Glaives no longer increases attack speed 15% -> 0%
5xx Glaive Lord price reduced from 35,000 -> 32400
5xx Glaive Lord no longer passively pops Lead without Red Hot Rangs
xx5 MOAB Domination's Explosion pierce increased from 20 -> 40

Glue Gunner

Super Glue currently fits a role of essentially a weaker Ice Impale that is also much more expensive (and, well, worse). For now the cost has been cut substantially to keep their function and value balanced.

xx5 Super Glue price reduced from $35,000 -> 28,000

Sniper Monkey

Cripple MOAB's price currently limits it mainly to freeplay and so has been reduced.

5xx Cripple MOAB price reduced from $40,000 -> 34,000

Monkey Sub

As Airburst Darts alone already gives a huge benefit to the tower regardless of not applying any crosspath buff, some of the attack speed benefit this upgrade gave to 032 Ballistic Missile has instead been moved into the base 030 Missile.

030 Ballistic Missile missile attack delay reduced from 1.3 -> 1.105
032 Ballistic Missile missile rate buff reduced from 25% to 10%

Monkey Ace

As Dart Storm currently feels like a lossy stepping stone the damage has been increased.

4xx Operation: Dart Storm homing missile damage increased from 18 -> 24

Heli Pilot

We've noted that Special Poperations has save-up issues, and then once owned has uptime and single target issues. With the 30 second duration, it now has potentially no downtime and instead allowing careful (or techbot) management to give a short burst of increased single target.

x5x Special Poperations, Marine ability cooldown reduced from 40s -> 25
x5x Special Poperations, Marine unit pierce reduced from 30 -> 20

Dartling Gunner

Rocket Storm is currently too powerful as just a 'spam whenever it's ready' without much thinking really required, its cooldown is being lowered so that it remains quite powerful but may require more timing.

x4x Rocket Storm cooldown increased from 30s -> 40

Spike Factory

Pierce amounts for Spiked Balls and Mines fits their use cases too awkwardly due to super ceramics. Considering the power of Spiked Balls, their pierce has been reduced slightly to add value to the pierce focussed higher tier in addition to a price cut for Spiked Mines.

3xx Spiked Balls pierce reduced from 17 -> 14
4xx Spiked Mines price reduced from $11,000 -> 9,500

Monkey Village

As currently it doesn't feel as valuable to use the City buff versus other cash producing towers, the buff Monkey City applies to other cash producing towers in radius has been increased.

xx4 Monkey City cash production bonus to towers in radius increased from 10% to 15%

Engineer

It has been clear that Sentry Expert needs changes, with Cryo sentries the only ones that really seemed valuable and purposeful, so all of the others have been improved to fit their role. Additionally higher tier sentries will now be able to benefit from the xx2 Pin crosspath, so enjoy some laser pins. Bloon Trap redeployment rate has also been buffed a fair amount.

4xx Laser Sentry gains pierce increased from 4 -> 8
401 Laser Sentry gains pierce increased from 5 -> 10
4xx Ball Sentry damage increased from 1 -> 2
4xx Ball Sentry attack cooldown increased from 1s -> 1.1
4xx Boom Sentry attack cooldown reduced from 1.3s -> 0.9
302 Sentries & Higher will now also be able to Pin Bloons they pop
xx4 Bloon Trap redeployment cooldown reduced from 15s -> 12

Gwendolin

As the Firestorm ability itself drops off later anyway, Gwen's level 17 buff to Heat it Up will now apply to the version granted to all towers by Firestorm as well.

Lv17 Firestorm's full-map Heat It Up now also benefits from this level's buff to Heat It Up

Etienne

We have to admit there were some mistakes not trusting ourselves as much as we should have due to lackluster initial reception of Etienne (except for you die hard Etienne fans, who we greatly appreciate). He was quickly buffed in the very next update before giving users time to settle and find out just how to use a hero who played so differently and after the resurgence in play with the ETn skin. While we still feel that those changes rather nicely sorted out quality of life issues and we took more time to avoid ping ponging him around, he clearly reigns far too supreme and needs some nerf stick. Rather than removing any of those usability changes we have decided to trim down the power of his very dominant UCAV ability.

Lv10 UCAV Damage reduced from 3 -> 2
Lv15 UCAV Damage reduced from 6 -> 4
Lv17 UCAV Damage reduced from 9 -> 7
Lv20 UCAV Damage reduced from 12 -> 10

- Note: psychic isn't blocked by obstacles
- Note: psychic can't target Purples, Leads, Ceramics, or any MOAB-Class Bloons
- Note: speed buffs decrease the delay after a Bloon pops

Level 2 - 270 XP

delay between pop and attack reduced to 0.8333s

- Note: same rules from psychic apply to psychic2
- Bugs
  - psychic2 can jump to 5 Bloons instead of 3 Bloons, however the extra Bloons get inflicted with a LVL1 variant of psychic2, causing no explosions and taking longer to pop
