The collect radius of Bananas is larger and uncollected bananas auto-collect for half value. Monkey Banks will glow when full and ready to collect.
~ In-game description

EZ Collect is the first upgrade on path 3 for the Banana Farm in Bloons TD 6. It increases the collection radius of bananas and banana crates by +100%, from 40 to 80. In addition, expired bananas will autocollect for 50% value instead of disappearing for nothing.

When upgraded as a crosspath to bank-related upgrades, this upgrade instead highlights Monkey Banks when they are full, including IMF Loans and Monkey-Nomics.

This upgrade costs $210 on Easy, $250 on Medium, $270 on Hard, and $300 on Impoppable.

Description[]

Overview[]

Placeholder other

EZ Collect

EZ Collect, as the name implies, focuses on easy collection of money from the Farm. Bananas have a bigger collection hitbox, and uncollected bananas compensate the player with 50% of the original value of these collectables.

Visually speaking, two brown crates are placed on each side of the Banana Farm; this also includes crosspaths with EZ Collect.

Targeting Priorities[]

EZ Collect produces bananas that are tossed erratically around its range. Like most Banana Farm upgrades, EZ Collect lacks any real targeting priority.

Costs[]

Updated as of Version 41.0. Listed prices exclude external buffs, any sacrifices, and Monkey Knowledge.

Strategy[]

Summary[]

This upgrade allows for the easy collection of bananas by letting them be collected from a further range, which decreases the amount of manual movement required. In addition, it provides a cushion of convenience to banana farming, compensating unpicked bananas for a smaller income gain. The autocollect salvage portion is suitable for AFK and lazy strategies, but it is still more economical to pick up bananas. For Monkey Banks, this allows Banks to visually indicate when they are full, for greater visual convenience, although the succeeding upgrade after EZ Collect, Banana Salvage, is far more desirable for income convenience purposes.

Although worth keeping in mind to reduce micromanagement, the one major downside of EZ Collect is that it locks out one of the other paths, preventing Path 1 and Path 2 from crosspathing with each other. As such, besides going for Marketplace, EZ Collect in itself remains hardly useful as a crosspath option, leaving this upgrade usually untouched unless saving for its higher upgrades.

Tips[]

  • EZ Collect is helpful for players who use touchscreen devices, especially smartphones, since often the radius for collecting bananas is too small compared to the size of one's fingers, often leading to the tiring inaccuracy of moving one's finger around to collect every banana on screen. With EZ Collect, one can simply hold their finger at the target Banana Farm(s) to easily collect all of the bananas easily.
  • This upgrade is the prerequisite for Banana Salvage, and as such it is worth upgrading further in order to utilize even more extra utility benefits. This is because the EZ Collect upgrade is overall not very useful on its own, except if it is to allow Banana Farmers to pick up the Banana Farm's bananas from slightly further than the Farmer's own range.
  • When crosspathed with 0-3+-1, the upper Path 3 Banana Farms will glow, providing a visual cue when the internal balance is full.

Version History[]

Balance Changes[]

Minor quality-of-life changes. EZ Collect now also uses the pre-28.0 Banana Salvage autocollection salvage benefit as well. Version 28.0 added this to give Path 3 crosspath some competition on expensive upgrades.

11.0 (?)
  • Description changed from "The collect radius of taps around these Bananas is larger, making them easier to collect." to "The collect radius of Bananas is larger. For Monkey Banks, glows when bank is full and ready to collect."
19.0
  • BUFF [Undocumented] Monkey Bank with EZ Collect (or Banana Salvage) will now glow upon detecting full once it adds another pocket of cash, rather than just after the round it becomes full.
28.0
Banana Farm's xx2 upgrade is the inferior crosspath, so we've amped up the utility with the lazy aspect so that if it's going to be inferior for production, it's at least going to be extra lazy & less far behind. [...]
~ Ninja Kiwi, referring to Path 3 Farm in general
  • BUFF EZ Collect now also salvages Bananas for 50% if uncollected
