Blons: Difference between revisions

'''Blons''' is a hidden [[Expert]] [[map]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in [[Update history:Bloons TD 6/Version 24.0|version 24.0]]. It is set in a grassy field similar to [[Monkey Meadow (BTD6)|Monkey Meadow]], but is devoid of trees.

Blons is hidden from the player by default and must be unlocked by completing any challenge involving the map (i.e., from the [[Content Browser]]). It can only be played in the [[Challenge Editor]], the [[Odyssey Editor]], [[Boss Challenge]], and the Content Browser, and not in standard solo or [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]] play. Because of this, it does not have any unlockable [[medal]]s and can never give any rewards.

The extremely short length of Blons makes it extremely intimidating to many players. However, Expert maps such as [[Bloody Puddles]] and [[Ravine]], as well as the [[Advanced]] map [[X Factor]], are usually seen as harder than Blons. This is due to the single-lane path of the track; the vast amount of open space; the bend that allows [[Sauda (BTD6)|Sauda]], [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooters]], and [[Ice Monkey (BTD6)|Ice Monkeys]] to excel; and certain towers that benefit from the short length of the track.

|As it kills MOABs and BFBs really fast, The Bloon Solver is a really good midgame tower that is also helpful for cleanup in the lategame if paired with [[Icicle Impale (BTD6)|Icicle Impale]] or [[The Tack Zone (BTD6)|The Tack Zone]].

 

 

On 1 April 2020, a Ninja Kiwi community manager, Sam, submitted a post to the official subreddit claiming that The Slons Map was added to ''Bloons TD 6'' and could be played with the custom challenge code <code>ZMKKRAB</code>.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/ft1fit/slons_map_is_now_available_to_play/|quote=As a small treat to tide you over until the next update drops, Slons map has found its way into Bloons TD 6! Play it now by using the custom challenge code ZMKKRAB and let us know how far you get :D|title=SLONS MAP IS NOW AVAILABLE TO PLAY!|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=1 apr 2025}}</ref> In reality, the map was not in the game at the time and the challenge was actually played on [[Ouch|#Ouch]]. As part of the hoax, the submission included a screenshot of the map, which looks very similar to the final iteration of Blons, except without the water or pigeons.

 

Blons was eventually added to ''Bloons TD 6'' in {{BTD6 version|24.0}}. Compared to the concept image, the Bloons on Blons enter from the left instead of the top. The map was not mentioned in the official update notes and was not supposed to be accessible immediately. It was intended to be a surprise saved for later,<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/m4encp/slonsblons_map_posts_will_no_longer_be/|title=Slons/Blons map posts will no longer be filtered/removed from the subreddit.|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=1 apr 2025}}</ref> but players discovered that the map could be accessed at any time by pressing the "Random" button in the [[Challenge Editor]] until it appeared. It was later used in the Daily Challenge for 1 April 2021, a few weeks after the update released, suggesting it was intended to release on that day.
