Version 4.11 is the first major update to Bloons TD Battles 2 in 2026. It introduced Reverse Mode maps and balance changes.

Additions

Changes

Even after the nerfs in the last balance patch, Tight Ceramics are still proving to be one of the most dangerous rushes in the game. We’re spacing them out a little more in order to make it easier for defenses to handle them.
— Update notes
  • Neutral Tight Ceramics: Total send time increased ― 1s → 1.2s
    • Note: Bloon delay increased from 0.025s to 0.03s
This section is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page.
The editor who added this notice elaborates: What about recursive's tertiaries? Isn't it 6x the cluster pierce, so that recursive pierce got nerfed too?
Cluster Bombs is already a potent weapon against grouped bloons, especially when map blockers allow multiple explosions to hit the same bloon. We don’t feel like it needs any extra power so we are reducing the extra pierce gained from crosspathing.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
1-0-3 Cluster Bombs + Bigger Bombs
1-0-4 Recursive Cluster + Bigger Bombs
1-0-5 Bomb Blitz + Bigger Bombs
  • Nerf Cluster: pierce bonus decreased ― +6 → +4
    • Note: Total pierce decreased from 14 to 12
2-0-3 Cluster Bombs + Heavy Bombs
2-0-4 Recursive Cluster + Heavy Bombs
2-0-5 Bomb Blitz + Heavy Bombs
  • Nerf Cluster: pierce bonus decreased ― +6 → +4
    • Note: Total pierce decreased from 20 to 16
Snowstorm is still an extremely effective stalling tactic, even with last update’s nerfs. We are increasing its price further in order to make it less efficient to micro.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-4-X Snowstorm
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $3,500 → $4,000
This was buffed in a previous update, but it has been performing better than we thought it would. So this should bring its performance to where we want it.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-3-X Bouncing Bullet
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $2,250 → $2,600
The Heli Pilot’s bottom path tier 5s often feel weaker than those of other towers so we are giving it a small buff to help it out. In addition, we are nerfing MOAB Shove slightly because its stall was too cost effective**.** [sic]
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
X-X-3 MOAB Shove
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $3,700 → $4,000
X-X-5 Comanche Commander
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $35,000 → $34,700
  • Buff Mini-Comanche Dart: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.15s → 0.13s
This upgrade was a little bit too cheap for its power, this should nerf the early game a little while still keeping it viable.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
3-X-X Arcane Mastery
  • Nerf Upgrade cost increased ― $1,200 → $1,300
The recent shinobi nerf made the Grandmaster Ninja a little underpowered. This should bring it back in line. Like the Grandmaster Ninja, the Master Bomber is also now a little underpowered. This buff should help it feel more consistent like it used to.
— Update notes
Tiers Changes
5-X-X Grandmaster Ninja
  • Buff Shuriken: Damage increased ― 2 → 4
0-X-5 Master Bomber
  • Buff Shuriken: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.434s → 0.385s
    • Note: Flash Bomb (3rd shuriken shot) cooldown decreased from 1.302s to 1.155s
1-0-5 Master Bomber + Ninja Discipline
2-0-5 Master Bomber + Sharp Shurikens
  • Buff Shuriken: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.62s → 0.55s
    • Note: Flash Bomb (3rd shuriken shot) cooldown decreased from 1.86s to 1.65s
Biker Bones is very strong with late game strategies. This nerf to his earlier game will make him weaker early game to balance out his late game strength. Additionally we are introducing a new synergy with the buccaneer to vary his playstyles.
