Completing rounds

One Insta Monkey is earned for completing every 100th round. The tier of the Insta Monkey on round 100 depends on the difficulty of the map, while Insta Monkeys for rounds 200 and on are always tier 3 or tier 4.

On Primary Only, Military Only, and Magic Monkeys Only, the Insta Monkeys will always be towers of their corresponding tower category. There is no equivalent for Support towers.

Collection Chests

During Collection Events, players are able to open Collection Crates when they receive enough Collection Rewards, with better Crates being rewarded each time the player achieves a specific milestone in the number of Rewards. Collection Crates contain 2-3 Insta Monkeys each, with the type and quantity of Insta Monkey being random.

Before opening a crate, the player has the option to choose between four tower types, making the Crate contain only Insta Monkeys of that type. The four available options cycles over time, and each tower type can only be selected five times per cycle.

Borders

On the Collection screen, borders are added around the towers' icons, similar to the map borders, once a certain set of Insta Monkeys for that tower have been collected. A gold border is added if the player has all Insta Monkeys for that tower up to tier 4, which is replaced with a black border if the player has all tier 5 Insta Monkeys as well.

  • Insta Monkeys without any upgrades bought on them will not sell for any money.
  • An Insta Monkey of a locked tower/upgrade can still be obtained and placed. However, Insta Monkeys of towers/upgrades restricted in the Challenge Editor cannot be placed.
