In the Bloons TD series, Freeplay is the game mode to which players may gain access after completing a game on a certain difficulty. During Freeplay, a mechanic called Ramping increases the speed of Bloons, raising the health of MOAB-Class Bloons, and decreasing the effects of stuns on MOAB-class Bloons. These stun effects include all stuns including the Cripple Moab debuff, the Bloon Sabotage (040 Ninja) and Grand Saboteur ability (050 Ninja,) the Snowstorm ability (040 Ice Monkey,) and all other knockback effects. There also comes a point after which rounds are randomly generated.

Bloons TD 4

|
This section is incomplete. You can help out by expanding it. The editor who added this notice did not specify a reason. |
The Flash version of Bloons TD 4 is limited to 255 rounds outside of Apopalypse. The last five rounds don't spawn any Bloons, and Round 250 has 9999 BFBs. The mobile version of Bloons TD 4 has no known round limit, as players have gone beyond 250 rounds on Mobile.
Freeplay Mode in Bloons TD 4 has Bloon spawns ranging from Zebras to BFBs, with rounds getting longer and harder as the player progresses. Rounds with up to 10 million RBE or more can appear when going past Round 240.
Bloons TD 5
Bloons TD 5 has Freeplay effects after Round 85. Freeplay effects include:
- Ceramic Bloons turn into Super Ceramic Bloons.
- MOAB-class Bloons gain 5% health per round starting from Round 103.
- All Bloons gain 15% speed per round starting from Round 103 as well.
- Cash per pop continues to get reduced (this actually begins at Round 50, but that is not when most players consider Freeplay):
| Start Round | End Round | Relative cash per pop |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 | 100% |
| 51 | 60 | 50% |
| 61 | 85 | 20% |
| 86 | 100 | 10% |
| 101 | - | 2% |
Rounds are randomly generated, having Bloon spawns ranging from Ceramics to ZOMGs (MOABs to ZOMGs in mastery mode).
Bloons TD 6
Bloons TD 6 has Freeplay effects after round 80 (with some exceptions involving Quests). Freeplay effects include:
- Ceramic Bloons turn into Super Ceramic Bloons.
- Leaking certain Bloons deducts fewer lives than before:
| Bloon | Pre-freeplay lives cost | Freeplay lives cost | reduction |

Past round 140, all rounds are randomly generated, except for round 200. Rounds 163 and 263 are also randomized but have a much narrower range of possible Bloons. Round 163 is a buffed version of Round 63, containing Lead, Fortified Lead, Super Ceramic, and Fortified Super Ceramic bloons. Round 263 has rushes of DDTs and Fortified DDTs. Rounds 10,000 and above are also pre-determined, but they aren't humanly possible to reach.[fn 1]
Strategy
In Freeplay, BADs are the only significant threat, as all other Bloons and blimps can be permanently stalled. Logs is the recommended map, as it has an abundance of good placements, contains enough space for farming (contrary to popular belief), and is the 2nd longest map (after Scrapyard, which severely lacks space). Farming is crucial in Freeplay, with Banana Central + Banana Research Facility spam + Monkeyopolis + Overclocks (for the Farms) being the most optimal farming strategy. While farming, it is recommended to Ultraboost towers that will be present in the final setup. Use Support Chinook to move the towers to their final desired positions.
Debuffs (such as Super Brittle and Cripple MOAB), supporting towers (such as Homeland Defense and Ultraboost), and the Hero are all crucial to Freeplay. There are two options for the core of the defense that stand out: Sun Temples + Sun Avatars and Bloonjitsus + Shinobis. The first strategy produces much more DPS, but the latter allows for usage of Ezili and Legend of the night to instakill some BADs at the cost of lower DPS. More optimal strategy from these two is undefined, and a controversial topic. Adora is the optimal Hero for Sun Temples + Sun Avatars, and Ezili is the optimal Hero for Bloonjitsus + Shinobis.

Footnotes
- ↑ It was possible in a challenge editor game with 5% ability cooldowns, Energizer and Legend of The Night before Update 43 until Round 10,000 when rounds are short enough to use the Black Hole around twice per round (max uses per round post Update 43).
