This is where I do Legends-related stuff before it is ready for main

random encounter article I guess

Not to be confused with Bloon Encounters, which are the regular tower defense games.

Dice icon that represents Random Encounters

Random Encounters are a game mechanic in the Frontier Legends DLC of Bloons TD 6. As their name suggest, these are events that can happen at random while the player explores the Frontier, upon encountering one, the player will see a screen with a text box that describes some situation, and two of more options that Sheriff or his Posse can do in response. After selecting one there can be a variety of outcomes, including gaining or losing resources such as Bananite, Stamina or consumable items, modifying Traits of the Ranch Hands, losing members of the Posse, or even no consequences at all.

Mechanics

Random encounters can be triggered by performing certain actions within the DLC and when it triggers, that type of encounter cannot be triggered again for a certain amount of time:

Random encounters

Type	Notes	Minimum cooldown
NPC Monkey	It is triggered when Sheriff interacts or collides with a Monkey NPC with simpler facial features from the Legends art style. It will spawn within 10 tiles from Sheriff and run towards him.	35 minutes
Campfire	Triggers when Sheriff activates a Campfire.	10 minutes
Area	Triggers when Sheriff enters a different area.	10 minutes
Defeat	When Sheriff is defeated there is a 10% chance of triggering a Random Encounter upon returning to the Campfire	60 minutes

Lost Monkeys

This section is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Determine what happens when 4 monkeys are lost, is the oldest one lost forever or does the game not present wiht more of such events at all?

When the Posse loses a member, the tower will not be completely lost, instead, when Sheriff enters an Area there is a 30% chance that the lost Monkey will appear somewhere at that location and if it triggers, it will stay there until Sheriff interacts with it which starts another Random Encounter where the player can decide to welcome the Tower back to the Ranch Hands, dismiss it or come back later. Up to 4 Monkeys can be lost at the same time.

Notes:

• MONKEY refers to a member of the Posse.
