Career Rank

The Career Rank is an experience system in the Bloons TD series from Bloons TD 4 onwards. Players begin at Rank 1 with only the Dart Monkey (although in certain games, the Dartling Gun and the Spike Factory are also available).

A new Rank is awarded by earning the required amount of XP and unlocks anything from new towers, new upgrades or other bonuses such as Monkey Money or Monkey Knowledge points.
