Desert Terrain

Desert Terrain is a type of terrain in Bloons Monkey City. Tracks that belong in this type of terrain favor Boomerang Throwers and Bomb Shooters, but restrict Spike Factories, Super Monkeys, and Glue Gunners. They are one of the most common terrains in Bloon Dunes.

Typical Features

 * The first four tracks are all one-entry-one-exit (Which would be good for Spike Factories if they weren't restricted.)
 * Some open space.
 * Some unplaceable land in the from of cacti.
 * Many curves in the paths.

Description
Arrow is one of 8 tracks in the Desert Terrain. It does not include water, and only has one entrance but two exits. They come from the top right and exit either to the north or the east. While about halfway the track, some groups of bloons will split into two, because of two paths to exits. This track is mostly shaped like an arrow.

Tips

 * Add a couple of towers in the spot where the bloons will start going through 2 paths.

Description
A rectangular track with many straight lines and two rectangular lakes. The bloons enter from the top left, go in a wave formation to the bottom, and take a straight path back to the top where they exit.

Tips

 * Dartling guns and 3-4/x dart monkeys are good here because of the straight lines.

Strategies

 * It is actually possible to win on this track with only aquatic towers.
 * Grape shot boats are some of the best towers to use here, as they have a very good spread and excellent range.

Description
A desert terrain track with one lake. Bloons enter from the top left and exit at the bottom right.

Tips

 * Buccaneers and subs are very efficient in the lake because they get many chances to pop bloons.
 * The lake is shaped like a heart.

Strategies

 * Tack shooters and ice monkeys work very well in the squiggles.

Trivia

 * Unlike other hot or tropical terrain types, Ice Towers aren't restricted in Desert Terrain. This might be because cold deserts exist in real life such as the Gobi Desert. However, Desert Terrain resembles a hot desert.
