In the Scrapyard Days section of the New Dart Just Dropped quest, players are tasked with generating $100,000 while navigating Bloon waves on the Scrapyard map. This stage emphasizes Dartling Gunner management and effective economy-building using Banana Farms. Players must reach the cash milestone without letting the Bloons overwhelm their defenses, requiring a balanced focus on both income generation and popping power.
Key Strategies:
- Economy Setup with Banana Farms: Early in the game, use 2-0-3 Banana Farms to maximize income, positioning them strategically to avoid disrupting Dartling Gunner placement. Expanding the number of farms steadily helps players reach the $100,000 target more efficiently.
- Upgrades for Dartling Gunners: Upgrading one of the Dartling Gunners to Hydra Rocket Pods (2-3-0) provides strong firepower to handle Bloon waves up to mid-game, especially when paired with faster-firing upgrades.
- Targeting and Positioning: Use the Dartling Gunners’ targeting to manage Bloon waves effectively by focusing on high-traffic areas. Position the Glue Gunner to maximize its slowdown effect, giving Dartling Gunners more time to target stronger Bloons.
Completing this stage requires balancing income generation with maintaining strong defenses against Bloon waves, which can be challenging as more MOAB-class Bloons enter the game. Players who master targeting and cash flow management will be well-prepared for the second part of the quest.
