About Bloons TD 5
Bloons TD 5 is a tower‑defense title that mixes a bright, family‑friendly aesthetic with deep tower‑building options. Players place towers, upgrade them along two paths, and call in Special Agents to stop waves of Bloons across many tracks.
The game includes online co‑op, Steam Cloud saving, leaderboards, and a variety of challenges such as Daily Challenges, Special Missions, and a Freeplay mode that unlocks after mastering a track.
01 / THE GUIDE
Towers and Upgrades
Three brand‑new towers—Heli Pilot, Bloonchipper, and Engineer—join the existing roster, each offering two upgrade paths and an activated ability. These additions expand strategic options for handling different Bloon types.
The Monkey Lab lets players research unique abilities and tower upgrades, while Tier 4 Specialty Building upgrades further enhance existing structures, creating a layered upgrade system that rewards experimentation.
- Try the Engineer tower early to see how its abilities complement older towers.
- Use the Monkey Lab to unlock abilities that match your preferred tower mix.

Special Agents
Bloons TD 5 features ten Special Agents, including the exclusive Radadactyl. Agents can be hired and provide unique abilities that influence the flow of Bloon waves.
Agents work alongside towers, adding an extra tactical layer without replacing tower functions, allowing players to tailor their defense to specific challenges.
- Pair Radadactyl with a high‑damage tower for burst clearing.
- Mix agents with different abilities to cover a broader range of Bloon types.
