Sunset Gulch is an Advanced map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 49.0. This map takes place at badlands, with two cliffs connected by a bridge with a railroad that crosses over the valley between. Several desert mountains are in the background behind the valley, with the sun behind. This map was created to promote the Desperado, which released in the same update.

Layout

The map features two cliffs where towers can be placed, with a few cacti that block placement and serve as minor line of sight obstacles. In the center of the map there is a the valley where towers with a footprint cannot be placed; however, there are two elevated rocks allow tower placement, the top elevated rock has enough space to support towers with large footprints like Spike Factory, and the bottom elevated rock is enough for extra-large towers such as Super Monkey.

This map has two paths for the Bloons:

1. Bloon path: Bloons start in the lower left and travel along the dirt path, cross the bridge from the left to the right and continue towards the right dirt path to the exit in the lower right.
2. MOAB path: MOAB-Class Bloons travel only along the railroad from the top left entrance to the top right exit. Once MOABs start coming out, the bell for the railroad will ring. Boss Bloons also follow this path.

Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 55.1

Overall a middle-tier Advanced Map, mostly due to the splitting exits and poor central coverage. However, by focusing main defenses near the end of the map and protecting against the short MOAB exit, it can be treated as a short single-lane map. During the early-game, the left side can be used for supplementary defense in early stages, while developing the right side later on the game.

Recommended towers and upgrades

Name	Portrait	Reasoning
The Desert Phantom		The straight line along the MOAB path allows pierce to be fully used to knock back blimps and deal high overall damage. The 2-0-5 crosspath is preferrable for this map to improve rate along the long straight lines and single-targets.
Golden Justice		The long straight line makes it an excellent choice for firing its near-infinite pierce rifle. Thanks to version 55.0 reworks, the rifle will have less tendency to chase if its pistol range covers the area that the rifle should not chase, reducing pierce wastage.
Perma-Spike		Despite the splitting exit, Spike Factories set to Set Target at that intersection handles the shorter MOAB lane and the Bloon lane at the same time, and later can be re-targeted back to only the MOAB lane. Perma-Spike in particular is an effective cleanup option for the late-game.
The Bloon Solver		The splitting exits are a disadvantage for most cleanup options, but the Solver remains a great way to clear Super Ceramics near the MOAB lane, while still having decent coverage for the Bloon lane.
