Reddit patch notes artwork for Version 32.0 (source: r/btd6)
Version 32.0 was first released on 4th August 2022. It is the third major update of 2022. Several sub-updates were released in between.
In this update, the Master Builder (Engineer Monkey Paragon) and the Intermediate Map Quarry were released, and Contested Territory makes a return from Bloons Monkey City. However, instead of capturing a single plot of land, Contested Territory was reworked into a teamwork-oriented land capture game where teams rival up to five other teams to capture the most land and reap up the greatest amounts of CT Points by the end of a week. Additionally, a significant amount of balance changes have nerfed many of the powerful upgrades in the game, including Geraldo who was released one major update ago. Adora's Voidora skin was first released on this update.
Version 32.5.1 is the update that Bloons TD 6 Console for Xbox debuted with, except without Contested Territory, compared to Version 38.x in all other versions of the game at the time.

- Upcoming CT Event Settings Changes for 2nd event
In response to internal review and community feedback on the first Contested Territories (CT) event, we have made several changes that will be in effect for the next CT event. We will also share a roadmap soon for other CT changes planned for future updates.
- CT Event #2 will run for 7 days - everyone agreed the first one was too long, so we will now try 7 days on, 7 days off and be open to future duration tweaks
- Degradation back to neutral timer increased from 24 to 28 hours - coming back the next day at a similar time and seeing your owned tiles neutral if not captured was disheartening. We increased to 28 hours so there is a window of overlap that will not throw off point balance too much. We want to make small, iterative changes here as there are many balance consequences.
- Degradation curve changed to maintain the challenge of beating the new best score for longer - tiles will now not degrade at all for 4 hours, then degrade more slowly from there and not reach such high values at the end of the curve
- Team creation cost will be increased significantly - we elected to have generous Team creation with the low 200MM cost and that helped generate a lot of Teams, but many players seemed to create Teams and join an instance only to not participate. By increasing this cost to 2000MM we are making Team creation a more considered decision, which we hope will direct more casually interested players to join already created public Teams
- Added 3 buckets of matchmaking to pool teams together with others of similar activity - we’re not giving much detail here intentionally, as it is complex and iterative but the intent is to connect similarly motivated Teams together
- Additions
- Added CT event prop to main menu to indicate live events
- Added more detail to tile capture messages in the team feed
- Added visual feedback for Master Builder’s self boosting effect
- Added popup for unlocking Team Flair items
- Added hover info to ‘kick pending’ in teams
- Added a “score eco” stat to local Teams score UI, which displays the current expected score increase when scores are added to the leaderboards - intended to clarify the relative rate of earning for each Team and inform tactical decisions about which tiles and ownerships to go after
- Added player Online status settings for friends & teams, with Invisibility settings for privacy
- Added player restrictions preventing team hopping during active CT events
- Added pages to Friend’s Teams tab for better organization
- CT Tile Victory will no longer display rewards that you didn’t earn (CT Points/Relics) if you beat the map but did not beat the capture score
- Technical integration of Nexus.gg to enable curator codes - we will share more information about this separately when sign-up pages are ready
- Fixes
- Purchasing Hero Booster from the upgrades page now refreshes the UI correctly to display the new level
- 042 Dartling Gunner no longer loses lead popping on the ability
- Resolved an issue where the save state of ultraboost stacks would be forgotten after creating Master Builder
- Resolved an issue where camo trap could miss DDTs if another Bloon passed over it at the same time
- Resolved an issue where selling an IMF Loan at the same time and taking a loan would not immediately try to pay back the loan with that tower’s sellback
- Resolved Bloon Traps re-placing within the map terrain after reloading a save
- Resolved xx2 Spike Factory buff applying to other towers & allowing extra buffs to be applied
- Some Master Builder Sentries will no longer see but fail to hit Camos
- Resolved a crash that could occur with xx4 Necromancer
- Royal Treatment relic now allows Psi to target Purple Bloons
- Bigger Bloons Sabotage no longer also applies to Boss Bloons
- Relic related Life/Shield regeneration functions should no longer interfere with Mana Shield
- Resolved a crash related to restarts in Monkey Teams
- Fixed some UI softlock scenarios
- Local co-op lobby once again shows cosmetics of the lobby host
- Team Vice Mayors can have leadership transferred to them without having to first be demoted again
- Resolved some CT messages not displaying through into Team Feed
- Resolved an error that could occur removing team members
- Resolved some incorrect localizations with Teams & CT
- Resolved a common crash on the CT Base Island menu
- Resolved a crash that could occur when returning to main menu from a race defeat
- Resolved a crash that could occur when leaving menu after joining a guild
- Resolved issues with ghost notifications in the team inventory tab
- Resolved Team Join button sometimes failing to work & a few other Team Join related issues
- Resolved a crash that could occur logging out on Android devices
- Resolved an issue introduced in 32.1 that would cause some players to see an empty ‘global teams’ field in their CT rewards

Boomerang Monkey A small price increase to MOAB Press as combinations of this tower with others slows or spam with more of itself is very strong.
Bomb Shooter Has been a standout tier 3 for long enough, T4 remaining unchanged to still encourage more focussed use over low tier spam.
Ice Monkey Ice monkey Enhanced Freeze is too good at low tiers, allowing full stunlock of ceramics for very cheap, as the fire rate increase alone of this Enhanced Freeze is a powerful addition most of the increased freeze duration has been moved up as it makes more sense to have duration with the currently less desirable T2 Deep Freeze. Permafrost was previously reduced to a lower price than we’d like to try increase desirability of this crosspath, but as the reworks to metal freeze have had more success there in pulling this path ahead we want to add a little back on here. Cryo Cannon has now been overperforming compared to any towers that perform similar roles with either of these crosspaths so is also seeing a general reduction.
Sniper Monkey Sniper middle path is too strong for how easy to use it is, while having infinite range & cash production as well. We have removed the free +1 pierce increase shrapnel gains at T3 in addition to the added bounce. Maim MOABs grouped stun potential when crosspathed with Shrapnel feels it is overperforming too much so the shrapnel will now have a reduced stun amount compared to the initial target hit
Monkey Sub Similar types of camo reveal like Shimmer/Signal Flare/Embrittlement are all pierce limited, but the Submerge sub has practically infinite pierce while also being extremely cheap with a very fast rate and a T4 that is far better at camo removal than those other towers can reach. Giving this upgrade a more reasonable pierce value brings these more in line and allows for the pierce crosspath to have some potential meaning.
Monkey Buccaneer Navarch Paragon feels too dominant over other expensive paragons, as such a powerful choice it feels overused even on many low water volume maps
Monkey Ace Neva-Miss has been generally over performing for quite a cheap T3, increasing price here slightly but not carrying that increase up through higher tiers.
Heli Pilot Heli’s blowback has always been extremely effective from early on, and as players have become more knowledgeable the use into lategame as well only seems to go up especially moving into Super Ceramics. This change shouldn’t really have as large an impact at higher level gameplay as total map length is so much shorter you will often still be blowing back the entire track, but the blowback range has been reduced at T3 leading back into the old value at T4
Wizard Monkey Polishing some crosspaths, 130 Dragons Breath is the only crosspath for Guided Magic that doesn't yet attack through walls, and 011 Fireball also does not benefit from having the pierce crosspath
Super Monkey Legend of the Night outside of very specific niche challenges isn’t worth the cost as any more than VTSG fodder
Druid More needed crosspath reworking for the new 1xx Hard Thorns upgrade, as it now upgrades the druid from sharp to normal damage it doesn't make sense for the track brambles on 030 to not require this crosspath for lead popping. Spirit of the Forest's base attack has also had a simple damage increase as it contributes very little to the power of the tower by T5 and the tower lacks in single target.
Spike Factory Super Mines DoT damage is entirely insignificant for the price range of this tower.
Monkey Village The Monkeyopolis ‘space saving’ farm absorption shows to be far too much more efficient than the absorbed farms.
Adora
Geraldo Many of Geraldo's items are too strong for the required maintenance, Geraldo SHOULD be a top level hero, he is literally designed to be so as the most rewarding for your player knowledge and reaction to moment to moment gameplay, but too many items reward spammable gameplay over these knowledge & reactions so we are targeting a lot of durations/stock amounts with minimal price increases where it feels necessary. These are clearly a lot of small steps, as we did not want to do too many big changes from multiple angles all at once.
Bosses Vortex’s Stun radius has proved to be a little too small allowing for some cheesier strategies than intended, but instead of a flat increase at all tiers we have decide to trial a slight increase up throughout each tier.
Thanks again for reading to the end. We did a looking forward message in Update 30 where we announced work on new Bosses and Paragons, Contested Territories, and an in-game Mods system. We’ll continue that effort to keep the player community updated on our plans at least a couple times a year, and since Contested Territories has been such a huge feature to complete it’s now that time! We’ll keep this caveat in place each time. Unless otherwise noted, what we discuss in this section are plans, and we need to be able to make adjustments to these, as we’ve had to this year based on how much time and effort we put into the Geraldo Hero and Contested Territories. We’ll do our best to give context when we make changes, and as always we appreciate your patience, understanding, and support!

- Update: Bloons TD 6 v32.0 - Update Notes!
Ninja Kiwi is notifying on patience for releases for iOS, Android, and Steam in different countries.
- Key New Features
- Massive new Event system - Contested Territory!
- We set out to make this big, inspired by Bloons Monkey City’s instanced six player, single challenge framework but pushing it to be truly next level for BTD6. Big was an understatement - we’ve made a whole new game inside the game!
- Now with 90 players per instance across six player-selected Teams (see below), Contested Territories combines a massive map of 150+ unique PvE challenge-based tiles with the PvP competition of vying for the best score
- With a range of difficulties that increase across Regular, Relic, and Banner tiles, the intent is to allow all player levels and styles to participate. Less experienced players can concentrate on Regular tiles, while more competitive players can duke it out over Relic and Banner tiles. Regular tiles give balanced rewards, Relic tiles give more Team Trophies and Relic Knowledge, and Banner tiles give the most points for the competitive leaderboards.
- More details available on our preview reddit post below, as well as the in-event info button: Link
- We’ve spent extra time polishing and balancing this huge new system, so thank you for your patience! As always: feedback welcome on reddit and Discord.
- All new player-selected Teams feature!

- Up to 15 players can join together, manage membership, set tactical targets, unlock CT-specific boosts, and unlock a range of cosmetic items to customize your Team
- Closely linked with the Friends system to make it easier to invite or join up with in-game Friends

- Pushing for higher Paragon degrees improves nail gun attacks, activated sentry attacks, and activated sentry explosions on sell
- New Intermediate Map, Quarry
- Digging deep into mother Earth usually leads to trouble, and the same is true in the Monkeyverse! Quarry’s zig zag path may look long, but the Bloons move faster on those downslope water channels. Expect the unexpected!

- Behind the scenes refactoring to Hero Skin Data to improve load time & memory
- Changes to Boss auto-play behavior, if a Boss or its spawn are on screen the game & next round always starts immediately. If a Boss is not on screen then the game does not start automatically, play button is shown, & if you have auto-start toggled off then the game will stop between rounds.

- Restart functionality added to the pause menu in Race modes

| “ | Thanks again for reading to the end. We did a looking forward message in Update 30 where we announced work on new Bosses and Paragons, Contested Territories, and an in-game Mods system. We’ll continue that effort to keep the player community updated on our plans at least a couple times a year, and since Contested Territories has been such a huge feature to complete it’s now that time! We’ll keep this caveat in place each time. Unless otherwise noted, what we discuss in this section are plans, and we need to be able to make adjustments to these, as we’ve had to this year based on how much time and effort we put into the Geraldo Hero and Contested Territories. We’ll do our best to give context when we make changes, and as always we appreciate your patience, understanding, and support!
