General changes

  • Stats summary now displays upon Game Over in freeplay

Buff Icons

  • A rather massive behind the scenes overhaul of the Buff Icons system, and they will also not clip out the edges of the map anymore.
The Insta-monkey system in BTD6 has evolved a lot since launch, from a farmable mechanic to grant easier wins into more of a collection system. With this, we have found that while the initial intention was to give a nice beefy reward for any win, this has resulted in Tier 3 and 4 insta-monkeys being far too common while Tiers 0-2 are much more coveted with no farmable way to get them. We have decided to work on this by redefining the free reward earned on round 100, instead of being a random chance of Tier 3 or 4 rewards will now follow this logic
— Update notes
  • Beginner maps: Insta reward range Tier 0 to Tier 2
  • Intermediate maps: Insta reward range Tier 1 to Tier 3
  • Advanced maps: Insta reward range Tier 2 to Tier 4
  • Expert maps: Insta reward range Tier 3 to Tier 4
  • Round 200 and higher remains at the past Tier 3 to Tier 4 regardless of difficulty
Following up on the changes in 20.0 in relation to making for smaller and faster updates, additional changes have been made to more efficiently and correctly clean up old bundles when updating before downloading new & changed files
  • Added Hover/Tap and hold state to all medals on the stats screen
  • Odyssey Menu now supports the display of a seasonal theme
  • Added in a ‘Loop’ option to the Jukebox for current song
  • After having had a name set at least once before, Monkey Names can now be edited from the Player profile page
  • Added Search Functionality to the Achievements menu
  • Hidden Achievements now appear in the Achievements menu and display progress before being completely unlocked. Description & title will remain hidden until the achievement is earned. You can find these by searching for ‘???’

Desktop version

  • Added a new options toggle to disable the precision ‘Nudge Mode’. With this disabled towers will always snap to where you click during placement
  • Your ‘Placement Mode’ is now saved locally per device rather than in your player save
  • In addition to ESC acting as a general hybrid back/pause button, the Tilde/Backquote key (~) will now act as an instant uninterruptible pause (unless you lose) that will only open the pause menu, not close it. As with all hotkeys this can be remapped from the options in the main menu.
  • Scrolling with the mouse wheel will now move at the correct speed on scroll-able menus that go from side-to-side
  • Uninstallation on steam will now open an additional prompt to remove all login information from your machine as well
