Update 21.0 is themed around Halloween, added cosmetics mostly follow that theme.
New limited-time trophy store items are recurring yearly for the Halloween season.
The Insta-monkey system in BTD6 has evolved a lot since launch, from a farmable mechanic to grant easier wins into more of a collection system. With this, we have found that while the initial intention was to give a nice beefy reward for any win, this has resulted in Tier 3 and 4 insta-monkeys being far too common while Tiers 0-2 are much more coveted with no farmable way to get them. We have decided to work on this by redefining the free reward earned on round 100, instead of being a random chance of Tier 3 or 4 rewards will now follow this logic — Update notes
”
Beginner maps: Insta reward range Tier 0 to Tier 2
Intermediate maps: Insta reward range Tier 1 to Tier 3
Advanced maps: Insta reward range Tier 2 to Tier 4
Expert maps: Insta reward range Tier 3 to Tier 4
Round 200 and higher remains at the past Tier 3 to Tier 4 regardless of difficulty

Following up on the changes in 20.0 in relation to making for smaller and faster updates, additional changes have been made to more efficiently and correctly clean up old bundles when updating before downloading new & changed files
”
Added Hover/Tap and hold state to all medals on the stats screen
Odyssey Menu now supports the display of a seasonal theme
Added in a ‘Loop’ option to the Jukebox for current song
After having had a name set at least once before, Monkey Names can now be edited from the Player profile page
Added Search Functionality to the Achievements menu
Hidden Achievements now appear in the Achievements menu and display progress before being completely unlocked. Description & title will remain hidden until the achievement is earned. You can find these by searching for ‘???’
Desktop version
Added a new options toggle to disable the precision ‘Nudge Mode’. With this disabled towers will always snap to where you click during placement
Your ‘Placement Mode’ is now saved locally per device rather than in your player save
In addition to ESC acting as a general hybrid back/pause button, the Tilde/Backquote key (~) will now act as an instant uninterruptible pause (unless you lose) that will only open the pause menu, not close it. As with all hotkeys this can be remapped from the options in the main menu.
Scrolling with the mouse wheel will now move at the correct speed on scroll-able menus that go from side-to-side
Uninstallation on steam will now open an additional prompt to remove all login information from your machine as well
Glaive Lord’s 502 gives no use over 520 with how the main attack currently works, so now 502 will additionally apply damage to the secondary revolving attack to target a different niche. — Update notes
The Ring of Fire & Inferno Ring upgrades recently received a crosspath functional rework, as we’re happy with the x2x range/pierce combo now this small follow-up is just to bring a bit more impact to the short-range 402 variant. — Update notes
Churchill is a chunky, expensive & slow levelling powerful hero, when he was launched he fit well in this spot but his synergies have not aged well. We have started with a small XP adjustment and greatly improved the power of his MOAB Barrage — Update notes
It felt fitting for so many reasons right now, but in addition to Unpopped Army buffs Ezili will now offer them a large pierce boost who then in turn offer up an improved cleanup tower to assist Ezili in dealing with with her main weakness — Update notes

Levels
Changes
11+
Pierce of all Zombie Bloons summoned increased by +50%
We feel that applying the entire recent Roar nerf right away from level 3 was a mistake. To alleviate the impact here we have increased the level 3 duration to a little more than it was — Update notes
While he has been highly underrated, we wanted to fit in a few quality of life tweaks to add overall nicety and smoothen progression. — Update notes
