Unlocking all the heroes in Bloons TD 6 (BTD6) can significantly enhance your strategic options and overall gameplay experience. While Quincy is the starting hero and Gwendolin is unlocked early, the rest require Monkey Money to acquire. Here’s a guide on how to unlock all heroes as quickly and efficiently as possible as of late April 2025:
Understanding Hero Costs:

- Sauda: 5,000 MM
- Geraldo: 7,500 MM
- Corvus: 7,500 MM
- Rosalia: 7,500 MM
In total, you’ll need 61,000 Monkey Money to unlock all the heroes besides the initial two.
Fastest Ways to Earn Monkey Money:
- First-Time Map Completions: The most efficient way to earn Monkey Money early on is by completing maps for the first time on each difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard, Impoppable). Each first-time completion grants a significant amount of Monkey Money. Prioritize clearing as many maps as possible across all difficulties.
- Medal Hunting: Aim to earn all the medals on each map by completing all the different game modes (Standard, Military Only, Primary Only, etc.). Each new medal earned gives you Monkey Money. This encourages you to learn different strategies and explore various game modes.
- Participate in Events:
- Weekly Odyssey: Completing the Weekly Odyssey events (Easy, Medium, and Hard) offers substantial Monkey Money rewards. Make sure to tackle these each week. The amount varies, but completing all difficulties can net a significant sum.
- Contested Territory: This recurring event is arguably the best way to farm Monkey Money. Capturing tiles rewards a good amount of MM per tile. Team up with active players for more tickets and even greater rewards.
- Boss Events: While challenging, Boss Events often offer significant Monkey Money rewards for reaching certain tiers and defeating the boss.
- Races: Participating in and placing well in Races can also grant a good amount of Monkey Money.
- Daily Chests and Achievements: Regularly check the daily chests for small but consistent Monkey Money rewards. Additionally, completing achievements often grants Monkey Money as a one-time bonus.
- Utilize Monkey Knowledge: Invest Monkey Knowledge points into the “More Monkey Money” category under the “Powers” knowledge tree. This passive bonus will increase the amount of Monkey Money you earn from all sources.
- Consider Purchases (Optional): If you’re willing to spend real money, you can purchase bundles of Monkey Money through the in-game store. This will be the fastest way to unlock all heroes but is entirely optional.
Efficient Unlocking Strategy:
- Focus on Clearing Maps: Prioritize completing as many unique maps as possible on all difficulties to maximize your initial Monkey Money gains.
- Complete Weekly Quests and Daily Challenges: These often offer small but consistent Monkey Money rewards.
- Participate Actively in Events: Don’t miss out on the significant Monkey Money rewards offered by Weekly Odysseys and Contested Territory.
- Invest in “More Monkey Money”: As soon as you have Monkey Knowledge points, invest in the “More Monkey Money” perk.
- Unlock Strong Early-Mid Game Heroes First: Consider unlocking heroes who can help you clear more content and earn more Monkey Money efficiently. Sauda, for example, is a strong early to mid-game hero who can carry you through many maps. Benjamin can significantly boost your income in non-CHIMPS modes, allowing you to afford more upgrades and clear harder content for more rewards.
- Be Patient: Unlocking all heroes takes time and consistent effort. Focus on maximizing your Monkey Money earnings through the methods mentioned above, and you’ll eventually acquire them all.
By following these tips and actively participating in the various game modes and events, you can unlock all the heroes in BTD6 relatively quickly and enjoy the full range of strategic possibilities the game offers.
