Sandbox (BTD6): Difference between revisions

{{lede image|BTD6 SandboxBtn.png|size=200px}}'''Sandbox''' (or '''Sandbox Mode''') is a mode in [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] designed to help players to test out [[Tower|towers]] and strategies. In singleplayer, Sandbox may be played on [[Easy]], [[Medium]], or [[Hard]] difficulties after completing Easy Standard, [[Reverse (BTD6)|Reverse]], or Hard Standard respectively. It may not be played in [[co-op]] mode. Sandbox is unique compared to other modes in several important ways:

* There are no victory or defeat screens. If the number of lives reaches 0, towers stop attacking but the game otherwise proceeds as normal.

** There is no Sandbox medal.

** If all lives are lost from leaking Bloons rather than setting it to 0 manually, the number of lives are reset after a few seconds of no leaks.

* No actions count toward [[Achievements (BTD6)|achievements]] or stats on one's profile.

* [[Paragon|Paragons]] and [[VTSG]] may only be built if they have been built already in a regular game.

=== Set Round ===

The player may freely set the current round. Setting the current round or sending it out deletes all existing Bloons and cancels any Bloons which are about to be sent out. The round which the game is set to applies [[List of rounds in BTD6#Modifiers|modifiers]] to the Bloons, and updates the cost of [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo's]] [[Rare Quincy Action Figure]]. The maximum round available is the maximum round the player has achieved in a standard game, or 999, whichever is less.

=== Send Bloons ===

The player may send out specific types of Bloons. Sending custom Bloons does not delete Bloons or cancel any existing Bloon sends. [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]], [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]], and [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] properties may be toggled on and off for custom sent Bloons. There is the option to send between 1-999 of a Bloon type at once, with any spacing between 0-999.

The spacing is the number of tenths of a second in between Bloons; for example if the spacing is set to 20, Bloons are sent once every 2 seconds.

In addition to the standard Bloon types, players may send Test Bloons and MOAB Test Bloons. These Bloons are Sandbox-exclusive. Both have extremely high health, spawn no children, have the lowest targeting priority bracket, and cost no lives when leaked. MOAB Test Bloons have MOAB-class properties.

=== Additional Buttons ===

The Sandbox menu has four buttons near the bottom.

* The second one resets all ability cooldowns, fills [[Geraldo's Shop]], and fills [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus']] mana.

* When the Fortified property is selected in the Sandbox menu, the locations of the [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]] and [[Zebra Bloon (BTD6)|Zebra Bloon]] swap. They swap back when the Fortified property is deselected.
