BTD5


The Monkey Intelligence Bureau (sometimes abbreviated as MIB for short) is the third upgrade of Path 2 for the Monkey Village. It allows all the towers in the radius to pop any type of bloon. It does not necessarily grant towers the ability to damage MOAB-Class Bloon, but it allows all towers within its radius to pop Lead Bloons, Thermal Bloons, and Frozen Bloons. In addition, it also increases the range of the village.

On the flash version of Bloons Monkey City, this upgrade increases the pierce granted by the village from +1 to +2.

In BTD5, it costs $3,455 on Easy, $4,300 on Medium, $4,640 on Hard, and $5,160 on Impoppable.

Effect[]

In BTD5:

  • Black and Zebra Bloons can be popped by Bomb Towers, Mortar Towers, Pineapples, and any other explosives.
  • White and Zebra Bloons can be frozen by Ice Towers.
  • Frozen and Lead Bloons can be popped by darts, tacks, etc. without special upgrades.

In the BTD5 generation, Glue Gunners and Ice Towers still cannot slow or freeze MOAB-class Bloons, nor can it allow Bloonchippers to suck in every type of bloon. In the BTD5 generation Flash games, this upgrade also does not allow the Glue Gunner to slow down Ceramic Bloons. Also note that Road Spikes that don't come from a tower remain unaffected by the Monkey Intelligence Bureau. (Note that all Pineapples can pop Thermal Bloons within the MIB's radius.)

Trivia[]

  • The M.I.B. released twelve BTD5 leaks on their notepad before the official release of BTD5. These usually revealed Level Three upgrades for various towers, one of which was the conversion of the Monkey Beacon to the Monkey Village.
  • In BTD5, if you have the Jungle Drums upgrade with the M.I.B, music notes comes out from the roof.
  • While it originally did not let Ice Monkeys freeze White and Zebra bloons, this upgrade was buffed on an update to allow Ice Towers to freeze White and Zebra bloons.
    • BTD5 Mobile Ice Monkeys cannot freeze White Bloons and Zebra Bloons, but they can still pop them with Snap Freeze.
  • The acronym of the name Monkey Intelligence Bureau is M.I.B. which is often associated with Men in Black, which can refer to either the franchise or a conspiracy theory-based umbrella term attributed to government agents. It seems to also parody the real-life Central Intelligence Agency.
