Gizmo

Line 1:

'''Gizmos''' are [[Map]] features in [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] which cost cash ~~to activate~~. They are similar to [[Removable|removables]], which cost money to permanently alter line-of-sight blockers or placeable areas on the map. Gizmos do not include map features which are ~~always free~~, such as the crusher on [[Scrapyard]]. The cost of gizmos are affected by the Removable Cost Rate option in [[Challenge Editor]], but is not affected by [[game difficulty]].

They are similar to [[Removable|removables]], which cost money to permanently alter line-of-sight blockers or placeable areas on the map. Gizmos do not include map features which are activated without clicking a check-mark button, such as the crusher on [[Scrapyard]]. The cost of gizmos are affected by the Removable Cost Rate option in [[Challenge Editor]], and therefore can be disabled entirely in challenges, but is not affected by [[game difficulty]].

=== Polyphemus ===

The "eye" in the center of [[Polyphemus]] costs cash to open, and provides buffs to towers placed in it. It closes after every round number ending in a 5, requiring progressively more cash to be spent to open it.

=== Ancient Portal ===

[[Ancient Portal]] contains a "Realign Portal" gizmo which toggles which of the two portals Bloons are sent to. It is currently the only gizmo which is always free to activate.
