'''Bloon Trap''' is the [[Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It allows the Engineer Monkey to deploy traps onto the track which collect and insta-kill Bloons. Once full, the trap can be collected for cash. Outside of CHIMPS and Deflation modes, the Bloon Trap provides +100% more cash than usual from Bloons that it collects. The traps do not affect MOAB-Class Bloons ~~or non-visible~~ [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s.

It allows the Engineer Monkey to deploy traps onto the track which collect and insta-kill Bloons. Once full, or overflowed, the trap can be collected for cash. Outside of CHIMPS and Deflation modes, the Bloon Trap provides +100% more cash than usual from Bloons that it collects. The traps do not affect MOAB-Class Bloons, nor [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s unless the Engineer could see Camos before deploying the trap.

Outside of CHIMPS and Deflation modes, Bloon Trap is an excellent money-making tower ~~which~~ also helps defend against the Bloons. It is most effective between rounds 34-60, because on round 61 onward the amount of cash per Bloon is drastically reduced, and in the very early rounds there are not enough Bloons to justify the trap's use. It tends to stand out on [[Boss Bloon Event]]s, which heavily demands maximizing income over rounds.

To maximize trap income, ~~one should make sure~~ as many Bloons as possible are collected by the trap instead of ~~being popped by~~ other towers or even the Engineer Monkey's own nail gun. The most effective way to do this is ~~with~~ the [[Larger Service Area (BTD6)|Larger Service Area]] upgrade, and targeting the trap as close to the entrance as possible. This upgrade also allows retargeting the trap to catch any Bloons that make it farther down the track after the first trap is full. When using Bloon Trap for income, one should avoid infinite-range towers such as [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper]] or [[Druid of the Jungle (BTD6)|Druid of the Jungle]] because they will pop Bloons before they can enter the trap.

[[Faster Engineering (BTD6)|Faster Engineering]] usually hinders income unless the Engineer Monkey is placed behind an obstacle, because the Engineer Monkey will deploy sentries that pop Bloons, reducing the income from the trap.
