When you start really getting into Bloons TD 6 you’re likely to notice that there are layers to the difficulties. There’s a little more to it than the basic easy, medium, and hard levels. It’s not overly complicated but does explain the layers that all the difficulties in Bloons TD 6 add as you get better at the game, making it more fun to play as you improve your strategies.

Standard Difficulties

In standard play, you hit the play button on the main menu and an assortment of map options appear. You select a map and the difficulty options will show. Any map you choose gives the choice of Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each difficulty has a standard and a sandbox option, but beyond that, there a few specialty game modes available in rising numbers as the difficulty increases. The number of rounds and lives is different at each level, more rounds adds the challenge of trying to survive against all bloons for a longer amount of time.

Easy - 40 rounds/200 lives
Medium - 60 rounds/150 lives
Hard - 80 rounds/100 lives

Map Difficulties

Before you choose a map, you’ll see at the bottom of the maps that there are four levels of maps available — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. To unlock an intermediate map you have to beat a beginner map. The more beginner maps you beat, the more intermediate maps you unlock, then these will be what you need to beat for advanced maps to unlock, and so on until you have them all unlocked. The harder map difficulties are less open, with more obstacles, blind spots, and special challenges.
