Deflation mode on Sunset Gulch can seem tricky with its fixed cash limit, but this reliable strategy will get you to Round 60 effortlessly — no Monkey Knowledge needed! Just a smart tower setup and the help of Etienne.
- Start by selecting Etienne as your hero. His Level 10 UCAV ability will be essential for handling Round 60, and his drones will help detect Camo Bloons in the later rounds.
- With your starting cash, place the following towers:
- A Tack Shooter, upgraded to 4-0-2 (Ring of Fire)
- A Druid, upgraded to 1-4-0
- A Sniper Monkey, upgraded to 3-2-0
- A Boomerang Monkey, upgraded to 0-2-4 to deal effectively with MOAB-class Bloons
- Once you’ve placed and upgraded all towers, hit play — no need to place anything else during the game!
- When you reach Round 60, activate Etienne’s Level 10 UCAV ability, and watch it wipe out the final wave with ease.
This setup requires no further action and clears Deflation mode consistently. A perfect choice if you’re farming XP, aiming for medals, or just want a quick and easy win.
