~ Cash Drop description |
Cash Drop is a Power in Bloons TD 6 that grants extra in-game cash for one game. Upon using a Cash Drop, the eponymous cash crate drops from the sky, rewarding $2500 when collected. It costs 200 to purchase (or 180 if when the " Budget Cash Drops" Monkey Knowledge unlocked and enabled). Note that the money provided in Half Cash is only $1250, as all forms of income are halved.
The Cash Drop returns as a Power card in Bloons Card Storm. It costs no Gold to play and gives the player 2 Gold when used.
Strategy[]
Summary[]
An instant source of income. It is a popular source of gaining a boost in cash whenever needed. In order to make the most use of it, use it during the early-game and use that money for buying early-game income sources as well as buying Heroes as soon as possible. Income sources such as Benjamin or lower-tier Banana Farms placed during the early-game can actually extrapolate income very quickly if used in the early-game, which provides the maximum value from each Cash Drop. Benjamin is a special case, which actually benefits doubly from this.
Tips[]
- Try to use Cash Drops sparingly as they are rather expensive.
- Cash Drops provide a powerful early game lead and can easily be used to build up defenses if there are weaknesses to certain bloons.
- Notably, this power is often used in Co-Op Mode due to the slow distribution of cash given so it can help boost a single player to buying more defense. A "No Cash Drops" co-op emote is available in the Trophy Store.
- Beware that some players get ticked off by unauthorized Cash Drops in Co-Op more than any other Power besides expensive Insta-Monkeys and will leave the game as a result.
- Cash Drops can be also be collected via Banana Farmers. It is worth having one nearby so that the cash collection is near-immediate.
- Not collecting the Cash Drop will not lose the money, however, but autocollect for the full amount.
- It takes a few seconds before the crate is able to be collected, not immediate as is the case for Cash Injection pre-BTD6.

Trivia[]
- In the initial release of the game, Cash Drops that were left alone would expire after approximately 15 seconds and then provide roughly $625,000,000 in-game cash. This bug/exploit has since been patched and the reason for occurring is unknown, but most likely is caused by a duplicate multiplication of "2500".
- Cash Drops replaced Cash Injection in BTD5 and BTD4.
- When using a Cash Drop, a Cash Drop will drop from a parachute, accompanied by the humming of a non-visible Monkey Ace.
- In a blog post, Ninja Kiwi revealed that the Cash Drop is the most-used power in the game by far (especially since BTD6's Co-Op players commonly consume Cash Drops on Co-Op Mode), with over 90 million total uses, compared to the ~40 million of Road Spikes.
