XXXL Trap is the Engineer Monkey's path 3 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It improves the Engineer Monkey's traps, allowing them to collect and insta-kill MOAB-Class Bloons (excluding BADs and Boss Bloons), and increasing their capacity greatly. Additionally, the upgrade allows the Engineer Monkey to deploy traps more frequently. The XXXL traps have increased value; they provide +200% additional cash from collected Bloons, except on CHIMPS and Deflation modes.
Mechanics
Just like the tier 4 version, XXXL Trap collects Bloons that touch it, instantly popping them. However, it gains MOABs, BFBs, DDTs (if visible), and ZOMGs. By default, traps will be placed on the nearest part of the track to the Engineer Monkey, including over walls and obstacles. If no part of the track is within its range, the Engineer Monkey will not deploy a trap unless given the Larger Service Area upgrade and the trap is retargeted.
Bloons popped by traps do not provide cash right away. Each trap can hold 10,000 RBE (10,030 with Big Traps). Once full they no longer pop bloons, and are ready for collection. Collectible traps will shake, and can be collected by moving the cursor over them, or collected automatically after some time. They can also be collected by Banana Farmers and Monkey Wall Street. Once collected, the trap provides the player with as much cash as all the trapped Bloons are worth, plus an additional 200% cash value if not playing in CHIMPS mode. This additional income can be increased further by Monkey Town, Monkey City, and Rubber to Gold.
If a player deploys an XXXL trap, no Engineer Monkey purchased by the same player can deploy another XXXL trap until the first one is collected. However in co-op, multiple players can deploy an XXXL trap at the same time.
The Engineer Monkey deploys a new trap 4.6 seconds after a trap is collected, which can be decreased by attack speed buffs. This is a significant attack speed increase as compared to tier 4. The deploy speed is reduced to 2.76s with the Faster Engineering upgrade (2.8s due to trap minimum cooldown).
If upgraded to Larger Service Area, the Engineer Monkey's trap location may be retargeted to anywhere within its range, including over walls and off the track. If upgraded to Deconstruction, the trap will de-fortify any Fortified Bloons before collecting them, letting it catch more Bloons should any Fortified Bloons enter the trap.
Traps can collect any Bloon type including Lead. However, traps cannot collect Camo Bloons unless the Engineer Monkey was provided camo detection when the trap was deployed. Providing the Engineer Monkey camo detection after a trap is deployed will not grant the trap camo detection; the Engineer Monkey will need to place a new trap before its trap can collect Camo Bloons.
Upon reloading a save file, any traps that existed when the game was saved will remain. However, buffs such as Monkey City and Camo detection will not be saved for traps.

Strategy
The XXXL Trap excels at insta-killing MOAB-Class Bloons, especially later rounds such as round 81 and above. It can collect large amounts of blimps in late rounds such as the 90s. It is better suited to insta-killing slower Bloons such as ZOMGs and BFBs rather than faster Bloons such as DDTs. It can be supported greatly by slowdown towers and speed buffs.
With the Deconstruction upgrade, the Engineer Monkey can aim its traps to ensure it collects more Bloons, and additionally is able to collect more fortified Bloons which are common in rounds 91 and above. Faster Engineering will increase its deployment speed but at the cost of only placing traps in one location.
XXXL Trap deals very little damage to BADs and Boss Bloons, as those are unaffected by its trap. However, it is able to collect Dreadbloon's Rock Bloons in Boss events and Boss Rush.
Like the tier 4 version, income from XXXL Trap benefits greatly from Monkey City and Rubber to Gold, and it earns a respectable amount of cash in the mid-late game (in game modes with income enabled). It is a great tower to buy before the Master Builder, which as a Paragon can gain degrees based on the amount of pops and cash generated by the towers sacrificed to it.

Traps no longer collect for reduced cash when under a Monkey Town (bug fix)
Traps should collect for the correct amounts after resuming save (bug fix)- Traps will no longer allow bonus traps to be placed when reloading save (bug fix)
| “ | Continuing our efforts to make crosspaths meaningful and fit the style of each path more solidly, a number of crosspath and base level balance shifts were made. — Update notes |
” |
- 1-0-5, 2-0-5
- Oversize Nails crosspath now allows Sentries to pop frozen Bloons
- Oversize Nails crosspath now increases Sentry pierce by 1
| “ | Engineer is quite poor in terms of crosspathing, so we’ve added crosspath benefits to Cleansing Foam [...] — Update notes |
” |
| “ | Some big buffs to Bloon Trap so it can now be used more effectively — Update notes |
” |
- Can now spawn multiple traps per round, at a cooldown of 20 seconds for a new trap
| “ | Finally last update we allowed Bloontrap to be set multiple times per round, and we wanted to stay on the side of caution with a long cooldown, but after seeing it in the wild we are happy to make this cooldown faster. — Update notes |
” |
- 2-0-5
- Faster Engineering: rate buff to Bloon Traps increased ― 0.8× → 0.6×
| “ | Engineer XXL trap is extremely powerful but too expensive for backline dps and we’d like to see it more viable for frontline engineer builds — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $60,000 → $54,000
| “ | we have also re-envisioned the ‘Larger Service’ crosspath as giving smarter service as well in the form for targeting for Bloontrap & Cleansing Foam — Update notes |
” |
- Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- 0-1-5, 0-2-5
- Trap: Manual targeting option added
| “ | To add a bit of quality of life solving problems with trap needing to fill once before moving to target location, Bloontraps placed off-track never being able to fill, and maybe even to just add some interesting micro, any Bloontraps will now become expired after a short delay when their Engineer has a new target set. — Update notes |
” |
- 0-1-5, 0-2-5
- Trap: Picking new target expires current Bloontrap & places new one
| “ | XXXL Trap 205 crosspath hasn’t actually ‘been working’ due to the base attack rate being faster than minimum deployment delay so we have slowed the base rate to make 205 crosspath actually matter. Along with this, since the fortification bonus aspect of x2x hasn’t ever done anything for Bloontraps, 024 will now ignore the fortification of Bloons that it eats — Update notes |
” |
- Bloontrap deploy rate reduced ― 2.8s → 5.8s
- 0-2-5
- Deconstruction crosspath grants Bloontraps the ability to de-fortify anything it consumes prior to capturing
- 2-0-5
- Faster Engineering crosspath 'should now work' and actually make Bloontrap’s cooldown faster
- Bloontrap deploy rate reduced ― 2.8s → 3.48s
| “ | The 005 crosspath fix in the last update left XXXL Trap slower than previously even if crosspathed to 205, so we are increasing that base 005 slightly to match up the 205 crosspath again so that it isn’t any slower than before. — Update notes |
” |
- XXXL Trap: attack cooldown reduced ― 5.8s → 4.6s
- Note: 205 decreased from 3.48s to 2.76s attack rate. Effectively 2.8s due to minimum trap delay
| “ | Some extra of a makeup buff for XXXL, while the crosspathing rework itself feels nice it ended up nerfing the high-level micro play of this upgrade far more than intended. — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $54,000 → $48,000
| “ | Lastly Bloontrap was rather unfairly able to steal all cash in Co-op games; we want to avoid dividing one player's farm earnings between the group entirely, but decided on a compromise here to prevent it from stealing that base amount. — Update notes |
” |
Bloontrap now divides the base value of absorbed Bloons between all players when collected, any extra multiplied value is fully granted to the owner of the Bloontrap - Note: Overall buff for co-operative gameplay, a nerf to the Bloon Trap user
| “ | Middle crosspath feels too good for Bloontraps because of the massive quality of life it brings, so we’re pushing the DPS more for top crosspath by allowing Double Gun to also double the projectiles of Sentries. The expensive XXL Trap's cash generation comes in too late given Bloontraps fall off as an income generator in the late game, so we’re reducing the upgrade cost and increasing the cash generation that it brings. — Update notes |
” |
