Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) →Mechanics: mentioned more about the manual collection thing of 014. no, you can't spam the manual collection; the trap cooldown must pass before the autocollection of trap can occur |
Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) should state that trap deployment ignores obstacles, oh and apparantly no one stated the sell/sac engineer no trap thing |

'''Bloon Trap''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It allows the Engineer Monkey to deploy traps onto the track which collect and insta-kill Bloons. Each trap holds up to 500 [[RBE]] of Bloons (530 with {{BTD6 mk|Big Traps}}), and once full or overflowed, the trap can be collected for cash. Outside of [[CHIMPS]] and [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]] modes, the Bloon Trap provides +100% more cash than usual from Bloons that it collects. The traps do not affect [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]], nor [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s unless the Engineer Monkey could [[Camo detection|detect Camo Bloons]] prior to deploying the trap. | '''Bloon Trap''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

Outside of CHIMPS and Deflation modes, Bloon Trap is an excellent money-making tower that also helps defend against the Bloons. It is most effective between rounds 34-60, because on round 61 onward the amount of cash per Bloon is drastically reduced, and in the very early rounds there are not enough Bloons to justify the trap's use. It tends to stand out on [[Boss Bloon Event]]s, which heavily demands maximizing income over rounds. | Outside of CHIMPS and Deflation modes, Bloon Trap is an excellent money-making tower that also helps defend against the Bloons.

To maximize trap income, ensure as many Bloons as possible are collected by the trap instead of from other towers or even the Engineer Monkey's own nail gun. The most effective way to do this is the [[Larger Service Area (BTD6)|Larger Service Area]] upgrade, and targeting the trap as close to the entrance as possible. This upgrade also allows retargeting the trap to catch any Bloons that make it farther down the track after the first trap is full, and to replenish traps between rounds.

When using Bloon Trap for income, avoid infinite-range towers such as [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper]] or [[Druid of the Jungle (BTD6)|Druid of the Jungle]], which will pop Bloons before they can enter the trap. | ||
[[Faster Engineering (BTD6)|Faster Engineering]] usually hinders income unless the Engineer Monkey is placed behind an obstacle, because the Engineer Monkey will deploy sentries that pop Bloons, reducing the income from the trap. | [[Faster Engineering (BTD6)|Faster Engineering]] usually hinders income unless the Engineer Monkey is placed behind an obstacle, because the Engineer Monkey will deploy sentries that pop Bloons, reducing the income from the trap. | ||
Trap income is significantly increased by the [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]] Village upgrades, generating approximately 68% more income when under Monkey City. | Trap income is significantly increased by the [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]] Village upgrades, generating approximately 68% more income when under Monkey City. [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] is also recommended to improve cash generation per pop in combination, with the Alchemist placed forward along the track before the trap. | ||
