Co-op (BTD6): Difference between revisions

'''Co-op''' is a multiplayer mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|11.0}} and unlocked at [[level]] 20. It allows two to four players to play in a single game simultaneously using a peer-to-peer connection.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/rbhs6d/bloons_td_6_update_notes_version_290/hnoqs0i/|title=rohan_spibo comments on Bloons TD 6 - Update Notes! Version 29.0|author=Rohan Sharpe-Anforth|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=7 apr 2025}}</ref> Players can either share the entire map or have their own dedicated sections of the map to place and [[upgrade]] their own towers. Each player has their own [[Hero]] and tier 5 upgrades, though they have to share Hero XP and [[cash]] earned from popping Bloons and at the end of each round. Playing in standard Co-op earns separate [[medal]]s from singleplayer, and there are some events that are playable in Co-op.

In a Co-op game, all players play together on a single map with the same pool of [[life|lives]]. Depending on the configuration, the map can be split into multiple sections for each player, or allow all players to place anywhere. Each player can place their own [[tower]]s and [[power]]s and cannot control towers placed by others. Each player has access to their own [[Hero]], tier 5 [[upgrade]]s, and pool of [[cash]], though some forms of income are split among players. While this allows for multiple Heroes and multiple copies of tier 5 upgrades, the game does not allow multiple copies of [[Paragon]]s or the [[VTSG]]. Towers and upgrades are only purchasable by players that have unlocked them. [[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. [[Fast Track Mode]] applies if at least one player has it enabled.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/1fzdqsm/bloons_td_6_v450_update_notes/lr0vsgb/|title=rohan_spibo comments on Bloons TD 6 v45.0 - Update Notes!|author=Rohan Sharpe-Anforth|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=11 apr 2025}}</ref> If playing in a mode with [[challenge rule]]s, any restrictions on the number of towers will count all players' towers.

<!-- idk how the ownership of towers are distributed among the remaining players if one disconnects -->

Maps in Co-op can be split into different 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.

*All 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.

 

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

{{main|Emote|Text Emote}}

Emotes are a system players can use to communicate with each other.

Exclusive to the {{console version of|Bloons TD 6}}, local Co-op is playable by connecting additional controllers to the console. Despite being hosted on one system, local co-op games still cannot be paused or saved. Playing in local co-op earns singleplayer medals instead of co-op medals.
