Map border

Monkey Meadow with a black border

Map borders are a game mechanic in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 2.0. By earning medals on a map, the border around the map's icon on the map selection menu and in Co-op lobbies changes. Map borders are purely visual and serve as an indication of progress, as well as bragging rights. Co-op has seperate borders to singleplayer borders.
