The Gift Box is a game mechanic in Bloons TD 6 that allows the player to unlock certain towers by popping Bloon layers in any game mode that allows XP generation. This feature available at the main menu and is unlocked at level 30.

The following towers are unlocked only by the Gift Box:

• Dartling Gunner (3,000,000 pops)
• Beast Handler (3,000,000 pops)
• Mermonkey (3,000,000 pops)
• Desperado (3,500,000 pops)

These towers also have a corresponding trial Quest that include each of them before unlocking them in a normal game.

After selecting a tower in the Gift Box, the player may begin obtaining pops for that tower. The player is allowed to pick a new tower while another tower has made progress, though pops will go to that new tower instead. Progress can be found in the Gift Box or while viewing the tower's upgrades menu.

Once enough pops are obtained, the Gift Box will bounce around, and once tapped then the unlock screen for the tower will play and then unlock the tower.

Pops

During standard gameplay and during freeplay, pops put towards a specific tower will correlate 1:1 with the Pop Count statistic (seen after completing the round goal on any given difficulty or reaching a Game Over during freeplay). The Pop Count statistic does not scale equally with the given RBE or the Total Damage statistic, instead only incrementing when a bloon layer is popped, ceramic is destroyed, or MOAB-class bloon is taken down. [citation needed]

As of v51.0, Regrow Farms (the effect of letting Regrow Bloons duplicate and overwhelm your defenses) will add pops at a 1:1 ratio to Pop Count. Creating a regrow farm that can be defended for a substantial (or perhaps infinite) amount of time will allow a player to easily obtain the required pops to unlock the desired towers. One of the most effective ways to manage an out-of-control regrow farm is with the Plasma Accelerator or Ray of Doom upgrades on Dartling Gunner, so to efficiently unlock all 4 towers behind the gift box, it would be a good idea to unlock the Dartling Gunner first.
