Special Missions

For the special missions in Bloons Monkey City, see Special Missions (BMC).

Special Missions are a gameplay type in Bloons Tower Defense 5 similar to Daily Challenges. This game mode was added to the game on Feb 9, 2012. Some of them can be easy, medium or hard. Special Missions are unlocked at Rank 10 and over.

Bloons TD 5 Special Missions

Congratulations!

BTD5 in the update for the wizard lord special mission.

1. MOAB Madness (Monkey Lane, Hard) - $50,000 cash to defeat 50 MOABs. Are you up for the task?
2. Full House - Pass Park Path on Medium with no more than 5 towers or agents on the field at one time!
3. There Can Be Only One - Defeat Bloon Circles on Hard using at most one of each different tower type
4. Special Agents Only (Switch, Hard) - For Their Eyes Only! Using only Special Agents, beat the first 50 Rounds on Switch to win
5. Fast Upgrades (Castle, Medium) - Survive 5 special rounds on Castle where your towers upgrade once for free at the end of each round. Have you got what it takes?
6. Short-Lived - Good old Monkey Lane, except, any tower you place disappears after 10 rounds! Finish Medium difficulty to defeat this dastardly Special Mission.
7. Covert Pops (Snake River, Hard) - The Bloons are invading Snake River with their most deadly stealth forces. They must have known the Meerkats were on leave! Pass 50 rounds with a twist: All bloons are Camo and only 1 life!
8. Protect Monkey Town (Custom Map, Medium) - Bloons have located the Monkey Town and are attacking on two fronts. Any Bloon that touches the Town costs lives, so it's your job to defend the homeland for 65 rounds.
9. Wizard Lord (Lightning Scar, Medium) - The amazing Wizard Lord must feed on your most expensive towers every other round. If there are no towers on screen, the mission is over. Pass 30 custom waves of upgraded bloons.

3. Money Management (Military Base, Apopalypse) - Amass a bank balance of $50,000 during the game to win. This will not be easy since the Bloons will come at you non stop and towers are limited to tier 3 or less.
4. Direct Assault (Custom Map, Medium) - The Bloons are attempting to overrun your position with brute force. Start with a handful of towers, you are limited to only Mortar, Dartling, Sniper and Spike Factories.

Trivia

• The MOAB Madness Special Mission is the same as the MOAB challenge in Bloons TD 4 on a different map.
• Special Missions almost always offer better rewards than Daily Challenges.
• Some of the Special Missions cannot be played in Freeplay Mode. This includes Wizard Lord (Special Mission), MOAB Madness (Special Mission), Fast Upgrades and No Escape .
• If the player finished the Full House and MOAB Madness missions before March 8, 2012, they didn't get achievements for these missions. However, the missions can be replayed to get the achievements.
• Special Agents Only is the only mission that gives Experience Points as the reward.
• Short-Lived gives a whopping 1000.
  • It gives 4000 in Bloons TD 5 Deluxe.
• Wizard Lord is the only special Mission with its own unique tower.
• Protect Monkey Town, No Escape and Direct Assault are the only missions with tracks that do not exist in normal gameplay.
  • However, some might consider Direct Assault to be slightly reminiscent of Monkeys vs Bloons, without water, and Protect Monkey Town looks like Monkey Lane.
• No Escape is the only mission that has a time limit to complete it.
  • However, if you exit and re-enter your saved game, the time limit is infinite. This only works in the HD version.
• In the flash version on its day of release, you cannot use the Monkey Sub in Special Missions. This was fixed the next day.
