Jungle's Bounty is the Druid's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It gains the Jungle's Bounty ability, has +10 range (35 to 45), and its leftover vines are improved. Activating the Jungle's Bounty ability grants extra cash per Farm in range, plus a base amount of cash and an extra life.
The leftover vine re-hits and refreshes pierce faster (from every 0.3s to 0.2s), its lifespan increased from 4.5s to 9s (12s with 0-4-1), base pierce from 20 to 30, and damage from 1 to 2.
Jungle's Bounty Ability
When activated, the Jungle's Bounty ability grants $320, plus an extra $130 per Banana Farm within range of this Druid, and 1 life. Its income can be boosted by Monkey City and Level 5+ Obyn Greenfoot. If other Jungle's Bounty abilities are available, all of them will trigger simultaneously.
This ability has a 60 second cooldown, and has a full initial cooldown. It can only be activated up to 3 times per round for each Druid, and cannot be activated after 3 minutes since the start of the round nor during the penalty timer in Boss Bloon Events and CT Boss tiles.

Strategy
Jungle's Bounty's main strength is as an income generator. While inefficient without stalling, it is the most powerful method of farming if done properly. By packing many Jungle's Bounty Druids together, a group of 0-0-0 Banana Farms can surround and boost their income drastically. Then, by stalling either Camo Bloons, Lead Bloons, or MOAB-Class Bloons, the Druids can use as many abilities as possible each round. Once all the Druids are upgraded, the Banana Farms can be upgraded for maximum income. Both Geraldo and Obyn help with Druid farming, as Geraldo can use his Rejuv Potions on the Druids and Obyn directly buffs their income. Obyn makes more money in total but makes stalling harder and is far weaker for any Boss kill the money affords. This strategy can start as early as round 50 but is most commonly set up after a tier 2 boss kill; any earlier than round 50 is unfeasible, mainly because a lengthy stall is very difficult to pull off at that stage of the game.
As a damage dealer, Jungle's Bounty does plenty on maps with only one active lane, but falls off quickly elsewhere. Regardless, it mostly struggles at catching whole Ceramic Bloons, making it a subpar solo saveup for Spirit of the Forest in CHIMPS.
0-4-1 is preferred when farming, which can be skipped if it causes the Druid to attack blimps. 1-4-0 is preferred when using it for damage.

Ability: Cooldown increased ― 40s → 60s
Ability: Base cash amount increased ― $200 → $240
Ability: Cash bonus per farm increased ― $100 → $120
Ability: Now has a 3 minute timeout
| “ | We are also starting to look at moving some cash farming potential with Jungle’s Bounty to favour Obyn as the ‘Druid Hero’ more than Benjamin who is meant to focus more on Banks - more on that further down in the Obyn section. — Update notes |
” |
Range reduced ― 55 → 45
- Note: 041 range reduced from 65 to 55
Overall cost reduced by $25 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Brambles: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
| “ | More needed crosspath reworking for the new 1xx Hard Thorns upgrade, as it now upgrades the druid from sharp to normal damage it doesn't make sense for the track brambles on 030 to not require this crosspath for lead popping. — Update notes |
” |
Vine bramble piles damage type ― Normal → Sharp
- Note: 1-3-0 retains Normal type damage
| “ | Druid of the Jungle’s vines feel too strong already for this, but for quality of life the T4 Jungle’s Bounty Druid will now gain targeting options for the global vine attack, which we hope will make all players as well as Druid fans happy. — Update notes |
” |
Jungle's Bounty vine can now follow tower Target Priority
| “ | Druid’s vine brambles are very bottom-heavy in power, with high performance leading into a comparably small T4 increase, so some of the pierce is being moved up into the T4. — Update notes |
” |
Brambles: Pierce increased ― 30 → 40
| “ | Slightly shifting price down from T4 into T3 midpath, and increasing the base cash amount gained from the ability as it currently needs quite a lot of initial investment to really get going at all compared to other farming options — Update notes |

Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Ability base income increased ― $240 → $320

” |
Jungle Vine follows target prio of tower instead of always targeting strong
Jungle Vine Brambles without Hard Thorns are now destroyed by Lead/Frozen bloons
- Note: Lead and Frozen Bloons are still targetable
Now properly needs Hard Thorns crosspaths to grab lead/frozen bloons with vines (bug fix)
| “ | Middle path T4 isn't a very good improvement over the T3 so is getting small improvements to both its offense and cash generation. — Update notes |
” |
Thorn pile: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
Cash bonus per farm in range increased ― $120 → $130
| “ | Experimenting more with druid ‘life play’ functionality, similar to Heart of vengeance, we’re adding new functionality to Heart of Oak along with improved means of building into this with the Jungle’s Bounty upgrade, however the base pierce of Jungle’s Bounty is being reduced slightly to account for a higher buff potential it now grants itself. — Update notes |
” |
Heart of Oak gains 1% pierce for every life gained from the starting value after the upgrade. Maxes at 100% and diminishes if lives are lost
Heart of Oak applies for crosspath attacks however note lightning cannot benefit from pierce
Jungle’s Bounty generates 1 life at the end of each round
Track bramble pierce reduced ― 40 → 30
| “ | Same as the sniper, group triggering these spam abilities that require no timing other than ‘as soon as possible once off cooldown’ feels like a good quality of life change for those wishing to play alternate farming methods. — Update notes |
” |
Jungle's Bounty ability now triggers all available Jungle’s Bounty abilities when one is used
| “ | Passive life generation is being removed in favor of the active ability being the only source of life generation, this allows druid-focus strategies to no longer ‘accidentally’ heal their Vengeance buffs away. — Update notes |
” |
Jungle's Bounty now generates 1 life per ability activated
- Note: Spirit of the Forest ability unchanged (25)
Jungle's Bounty no longer passively generates 1 life per round
| “ | Druid of the Jungle’s vine attack rate has always been possible to be influenced by buffs though the time taken to destroy any larger Bloons is simply longer than the base cooldown so this hasn’t been relevant to it, we’ve now given it a normal attack cooldown to the point where the 031 crosspath should make some difference when grabbing larger Bloons. — Update notes |
” |
Vine minimum cooldown increased ― 0.25s → 2.6s
Base attack cooldown reduced ― 2.6s → 0.25s
- Note: x4x and x5x still depends on other vines to cool off before producing a new vine, which is unchanged
| “ | Our initial rework to Vine attack rate in v44 caused some issues at T4, to get around these issues T4 now improves the power of vines directly instead. — Update notes |
” |
Vine brambles: rate that pierce refreshes at can now be buffed by attack speed buffs
Description changed ― "Calls in two vines to grab Bloons and thorn piles have extra pierce. Jungle's Bounty Ability: Generates cash and 1 life each use, plus extra cash per Banana Farm near the Druid." → "Vines create stronger thorn piles.

| “ | Druid Jungle’s Bounty ability is no more, druid cash generation is now purely a passive end of round bonus. We are looking at possible changes for other abilitized cash generation and would like to hear more thoughts on this. To be clear; we are not simply looking to swap every cash generating ability to a passive, but there should be some choice in when you time an ability activation and we do not agree there was any reason to not spam these on cooldown which makes this a tedious clicking quota. Druid’s cash generation already has interesting interaction so for this case it felt more interesting to focus on that interaction instead, and the new ability gives careful timed activation that can assist in holding off on spending money on DPS towers for longer to effectively earn more cash which is more engaging of a choice to make. More detail in balance changes section later [...] We want different farming methods to have different interesting ways of engaging with them, but when an ability should always be used on cooldown that’s when it really shouldn’t be an ability, while there is strategy in stall tactics there isn’t for that ability timing most don’t have fun engaging with this when they are group spam abilities. Due to this we’ve reworked the druid ability so that the farm interaction is the important mechanic to engage with here instead, and the ability is a targeting method of providing cleanup that does have strategic timing which can be used to focus more on farming with careful ability usage instead of building other defensive towers. |

Ability: Jungle's Bounty is replaced by Vine Crush
The cash and lives effect is reworked to be triggered at end-of round
Base amount of cash reduced ― $320 → $120
Cash per farm in range reduced ― $130 → Depends on the Farm tier:
- Note: In certain situations the extra Farms will not produce extra income or produce more than intended
- Base: +$10
- Tier 1: +$20
- Tier 2: +$40
- Tier 3: +$60
- Tier 4: +$120
- Tier 5: +$120
Cash is now capped to $10,000 (no cap before)
If moved with a Support Chinook to a position where it has a Farm in range while also also being in the range of a Level 5+ Obyn, when the ability activates, it won't produce any cash and instead report an extremely negative amount of cash in the advanced info panel (bug)
Now shows an icon indicating the amount of farms on range
Description changed ― Vines create stronger thorn piles. Jungle's Bounty Ability: Generates cash and 1 life each use, plus extra cash per Banana Farm near the Druid. → Vines create stronger thorn piles. Druid generates cash and lives at the end of each round, plus extra cash per Banana Farm near the Druid. Vine Crush Ability: Vines grab many Bloons at once, following Druid's target priority.
| Levels | Changes |
|---|---|
| 5+ |
|
Jungle's Bounty: Resolved a series of issues where it didn't award extra cash for Farms in range or produce an extremely negative amount of cash under certain circumstances (bug fix)
Ability: No longer has a full cooldown when upgraded (bug fix)
- Note: Initial cooldown set to 2/3 like most towers: ― 30s → 10s
Main attack: Projectile spread can now be affected by accuracy buffs
