Camo Bloon
The Camo Bloon is a bloon that made its debut in Bloons TD 4. Its RBE is 11 (the game says it's 9, but it actually takes 11 hits to pop). They have about the same speed as the Blue Bloon.
Camo detection
Camo Bloons cannot normally be detected by most towers
Camo detection in BTD4
If another tower targets a Bloon and a Camo Bloon gets in the way, the Camo Bloon will be popped. If a tower with piercing projectiles targets a Bloon in front of a Camo Bloon, both will be popped. Usually, all you need is one set of Road Spikes to set off a chain reaction.
Following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect Camo Bloons:
| tower | upgrade | note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar Tower | upg. not needed | |
| Monkey Beacon | Sonar Beacon (upg. #3) | allows detection to all nearby towers |
| Monkey Ace | Spy Plane (upg. #2) | It detects Camo without upgrade but if upgraded it allows detection also to nearby towers |
| Monkey Buccaneer | Crow's Nest (upg. #2) | allows detection to all nearby towers |
| Monkey Apprentice | Crystal Ball (premium upg.) | |
| Dartling Gun | upg. not needed | |
| Spike Factory | upg. not needed | |
| Road Spikes | N/A | |
| Pineapple | N/A |
Camo detection in BTD5
Camo bloons can be anywhere from Red Bloons to Ceramic Bloons. Regen. Bloons can also be camo for a very deadly combination. However, the Signal Flare upgrade of the Mortar Tower makes the next layer lose camo status. This can help make things easier.
