Co-op (BTD6)

Line 3:

==Mechanics==

*Each player starts with the default starting [[cash]] of the selected mode minus $50 per player in the match.

*Each player has their own [[Hero]], though if multiple Heroes are placed, then the XP earned is split among them.

*Opening the options menu does not pause the game.

*The host cannot select maps they have not unlocked yet. Other players in the group can play on maps they have not unlocked yet, however.

*[[Auto Start]] mode is enabled if at least one player has it enabled.

===~~Map splits~~===

===Experience===

*All players earn the same amount of experience for their [[level|player level]] as in singleplayer.

*[[Tower XP]] at the end of each round is distributed among players equal to the ratio of cash they have invested into their towers and upgrades relative to the total amount of cash invested into towers and upgrades for that game. For example, if player 1 has invested $400 into towers and upgrades and player 2 has invested $600 into towers and upgrades, then player 1's towers will receive 40% of the tower XP at the end of each round and player 2's towers will receive the other 60%. For each player, this XP is further distributed among their towers based on the cash invested into each tower type in the same way as in singleplayer.

*If multiple Heroes are placed at the same time, the XP is split among them evenly.

===Ownership===

If a player places a [[tower]] or uses a [[power]], that player becomes its "owner". Players cannot [[upgrade]], [[sell]], [[Activated Ability|activate the abilities]] of, or change the [[targeting option]]s of towers they do not own. For the most part, towers and powers can still interact with towers owned by other players, including providing [[buff]]s to them (e.g. [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]s, [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]s, or [[Overclock (BTD6)|Overclock]]), contributing to [[Jungle's Bounty (BTD6)|Jungle's Bounty]], acting as platforms (e.g. [[Portable Lake (BTD6)|Portable Lake]]s, [[Carrier Flagship (BTD6)|Carrier Flagship]], and [[Lord of the Abyss]]), and sacrificing them (e.g. [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temple]]s, [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun God]]s, and [[Paragon]]s). There are a few exceptions:

**[[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]]s and [[Special Poperations (BTD6)|Special Poperations]] cannot reposition or use {{BTD6 mk|Door Gunner}} on towers owned by other players.

*[[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]]s and [[Special Poperations (BTD6)|Special Poperations]] cannot reposition or use {{BTD6 mk|Door Gunner}} on towers owned by other players.

**[[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]] cannot Blood Sacrifice towers owned by other players.

*[[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]] cannot Blood Sacrifice towers owned by other players.

**[[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bot]]s cannot be linked to towers owned by other players. ~~(verify)~~

*[[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bot]]s cannot be linked to towers owned by other players.

**{{BTD6 mk|Emergency Unlock}} does not change the targeting of other player's [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]s. (verify)

*{{BTD6 mk|Emergency Unlock}} does not change the targeting of other player's [[Dartling Gunner (BTD6)|Dartling Gunner]]s. (verify)

**[[~~Elite Sniper (BTD6)|Elite Sniper~~]] ~~does~~ not change the ~~targeting of other player's~~ [[~~Sniper Monkey~~ (BTD6)|~~Sniper Monkey]]s.~~ (~~verify~~)

===Map splits===

Maps in co-op are split into sections for each player. Players can only place towers in a section they own or in a free-for-all section, but towers can place [[sub-tower]]s in sections not owned by their owner. Each map has a default split setting, but the host can change it to any split before starting the game.

*In the free-for-all split, all players can place anywhere on the map. This is the default for all [[Expert]] maps.

*Other splits have two sections if there are two players or four sections if there are three or four players. The fourth section becomes a free-for-all section if there are only three players.

===Cash ~~generation~~===

===Cash distribution===

All cash earned from popping Bloon layers and at the end of each round is split evenly among all players. [[Double Cash Mode (BTD6)|Double Cash Mode]] only doubles the cash per pop for players that ~~own~~ it. Cash generated by [[tower]]s and [[power]]s only goes towards the owner ~~of the cash generation. There are~~ a few exceptions:

Each player starts with the default starting [[cash]] of the selected mode minus $50 per player in the match. All cash earned from popping Bloon layers, and at the end of each round, is split evenly among all players. [[Double Cash Mode (BTD6)|Double Cash Mode]] only doubles the cash per pop for players that have it enabled.

**Towers that increase the cash earned per Bloon pop ~~split~~ the extra cash among all players. This includes [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]]'s buff, [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]]'s ability, and [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]]'s golden Bloons ~~(but not from turning [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]])~~. ~~(verify)~~

**[[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]]s and [[XXXL Trap (BTD6)|XXXL Trap]]s ~~split~~ half of the cash they generate among all players (i.e. the amount that would have been gained by popping the Bloons outside of a trap). The other half all goes to the owner.

Cash generated by [[tower]]s and [[power]]s only goes towards the owner, with a few exceptions:

**[[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]]'s Skimming is ~~split evenly~~ among players.

*Effects that increase the cash earned per Bloon pop distribute the extra cash among all players. This includes [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]]'s buff, [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]]'s ability, and [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]]'s golden Bloons.

*[[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]]s and [[XXXL Trap (BTD6)|XXXL Trap]]s distribute half of the cash they generate among all players (i.e. the amount that would have been gained by popping the Bloons outside of a trap). The other half all goes to the owner.

*[[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]]'s Skimming is distributed among all players.

===Sending cash===

Each player can send cash to another player or request cash from another player, except in [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]] mode. The amount of cash sent by pressing the send button depends on the amount of cash the player currently has:

*If one has $500 or more, they will send 20% of their current cash, rounded down.

*If one has $100 or more, but less than $500, they will send $100.

*If one has less than $100, they will send all the money they have.

===Monkey Knowledge===

~~Most~~ [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]] upgrades apply to all players, even those who have not unlocked them yet, if one player has them unlocked. ~~Most Monkey Knowledge upgrades~~ do not stack if multiple players own them. ~~There are a few exceptions~~:

[[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]] upgrades apply to all players, even to those who have not unlocked them yet, if at least one player has them unlocked. With one exception, their effects do not stack if multiple players own them. Some Monkey Knowledge has special behavior in Co-op:

**{{BTD6 mk|Master Double Cross}} only applies to players that own it.

*The extra cash from {{BTD6 mk|More Cash}} is distributed evenly among all players from each player that has it unlocked. If all players have it, then all players effectively gain the full $200.

**The extra cash from {{BTD6 mk|More Cash}} is distributed evenly among all players from each player that has it unlocked. If all players have it, then all players effectively gain the full $200.

*{{BTD6 mk|Come On Everybody!}} applies its buffs separately for each player.

===~~Sending cash~~===

===Cosmetic items===

*[[Place FX]], [[Upgrade FX]], [[Pet]]s, [[Projectile (cosmetic category)|Projectile]]s, [[Flag]]s, and [[Power Skin]]s only apply to the player that has them equipped.

*[[Pop FX]] and [[Bloon Decal|Bloon Skins]] alternate between each player's selected item, including having no item selected.

*[[Monkey Names]] are visible to other players.

*Cosmetic [[extra]]s and [[Music Track]]s are separate for each player and cannot be seen or heard by other players.
