Due to 2 lanes being active each round, the spawn points changing every round, the intrusive barrack in the middle, and the rather erratic movement of Bloons through the mini-loops, X Factor is generally seen as the hardest [[Advanced]] map in BTD6. All parts of the game pose challenges, with Bloons having the ability to leak suddenly due to their erratic movement throughout the game. Global range towers often suffer from having to defend 2 lanes at once, while limited-range towers cannot affect half of the map are more affected by the erratic movement of the Bloons. | |||

X Factor is an Advanced map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 22.0. It takes place in a wooded area with four paths that intersect in the middle. This map was created to promote the Dartling Gunner, which was released in the same update.
Layout
This map has 4 entrances and exits for almost all purposes, but there are 8 total sets of pre-game prep spikes on this map, likely due to the splitting of the Bloons into 2 separate paths through the mini-circles. The Bloons enter from the top-left and the top-right on round 1, and the locations of the Bloon spawns rotate by 90° clockwise every round, thus the Bloons spawn and exit at the same spots every 4 rounds. The barrack in the middle blocks all Bloons, including blimps, from being attacked, significantly increasing this map's difficulty. The stack on top of the barrack can be removed for $2000 and can fit all towers except the Banana Farm.
Strategy
Due to 2 lanes being active each round, the spawn points changing every round, the intrusive barrack in the middle, and the rather erratic movement of Bloons through the mini-loops, X Factor is generally seen as the hardest Advanced map in BTD6. All parts of the game pose challenges, with Bloons having the ability to leak suddenly due to their erratic movement throughout the game. Global range towers often suffer from having to defend 2 lanes at once, while limited-range towers cannot affect half of the map are more affected by the erratic movement of the Bloons.
Recommended towers and upgrades
- For heroes, Psi is a good choice, since they can attack from anywhere on the map and catch Bloons before they leak. If placed near the center, they can also use abilities to stun both sides of the track.
- Sniper Monkeys are a cheap yet powerful option, since they can target all exits and the map has no line-of-sight blockers.
