Radar Scanner Village is a Support Monkey card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 6.0. It is unable to attack, instead increasing the ATK of Monkeys placed adjacent to it by 35, with identical mechanics to the basic Monkey Village, plus granting detect to them (allowing direct targeting of Camos even if non-Camos are on the opponent's side).

Its artwork depicts a Radar Scanner Village at a grassy location outside of a jungle, with two monkeys alerting the presence of Camo Bloons; one monkey points to the Camo Blue, the other to the Camo Red. A Camo Yellow is further along the path towards the jungle.

The editor who added this notice elaborates: Verify v6.4 viability
This section was last updated for: version 6.4
  • At 3 extra Gold and 15 more ATK bonus than the standard Monkey Village, Radar Scanner Village is hard to depend on for Detect and is harder to save up for, so it really needs Monkeys that have high Ammo to be worth equipping, not to mention that it's even more locked into Control decks.
  • If Detect is an option you want, consider running Ninjas or Night Vision Sniper over this card.
  • This card can brick your deck if you equip too many of this card.
  • Radar Scanner Village gives enough ATK to stop any neighboring Monkey from getting hit by Bed Time. This could help Jungle's Bounty Druid strategies with opponents guaranteed to use Bed Time, such as Dreadbloon, but the Village itself is still vulnerable to this.

Update history

  • Nerf Gold cost increased ― 5 → 7
  • Buff Bonus ATK increased ― +10 → +35
  • Nerf No longer has 1 internal ammo (bug fix)
    • Note: Enables Ghost Monkey to remove it

Development

This card is similar to an unused card named "Radar Scanner", which had text and placeholder art in the data of Bloons Card Storm in the Firstlook test. The card was not implemented, and its art was removed in the full release, but its text remained in the game files. The text for this unused card still exists in the localization files as of version 6.1, and its description was updated to make the keyword text bold in version 4.0.

Art Name Description
Beta builds Radar Scanner On Play: Remove Camo from enemy Bloons. On Enemy Bloon Played: Remove Camo from played Bloon
Version 6.0 Radar Scanner Village Can't Attack. Adjacent Monkeys gain Detect and +10 ATK

Radar Scanner Village was deemed outclassed by normal Village due to the card being essentially a dead draw by offering nothing better than the other card.[1] Since Version 6.4, the large ATK bonus versus cost makes Radar Scanner more viable as an upgraded synergizer with low ATK but high Ammo Monkeys such as Crossbow Monkey and the newly buffed Heart of Vengeance Druid.[1]
