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.

Obtaining 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.

As of v51.0, regenerated layers from Regrow Bloons 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. A cheap way to create a regen farm is to farm until round 42, then use a Downdraft Heli to knockback, and an Ice Shards alongside a Ring of Fire to clean up.

During games of Co-op, pops obtained will correlate to the total sum of bloons popped by all players . Players cannot obtain pops in the Content Browser, Quests, or Races.
