##### Key New Features

- New Boss Bloon Blastapopoulos, the Demon of the Core has returned!

- While in play, towers suffer from reduced range & ability cooldown rate.
- Blastapopoulos passively burns off damaging effects applied to them, and has the Purple Bloon type property. Damage type enhancements can get around this as normal, but this doesn’t change projectile temperature!
- Overheating! Most projectile hits heat up Blastapopoulos, with anything weak to purple (fire, lasers & plasma) increasing heat even more, so use these damage types at your own risk or bring along some Ice attacks to cool things back down! Whenever maximum heat is reached Blastapopoulos vents the excess, briefly stunning towers & increasing ability cooldowns then superheating the area for a short time, causing all projectiles to burn up faster than normal.
- Skulls when triggered will fill up a portion of Heat, and spew out a number of Fireballs & Pyroclastic Rocks.
- These Fireballs will target your towers & create debuffing pools of magma around their targets while the Pyroclastic Rocks land around Blastapopoulos to form impenetrable barrier rings around the boss until they expire
- You’ll need to carefully manage your heat to avoid dire consequences!

##### New Awesome

- New Advanced Map, Ancient Portal

- Both ancient and modern, the portal has clearly moved this map through time, so they can easily shift Bloons from one path to another. With all of that energy at play, there is clearly explosive potential.

- New Quests

- 5 Minutes of Frozen Over - a reversed race! With a limit of 5 minutes send as many rounds as you can in this marathon-not-a-sprint to score as much damage as possible
- One Sided - Beat half of Infernal, with half of the play space. Oh it’s the wrong half!
- Fast Tracked - A trial quest that’ll give you a taste of the new Fast Track IAP (More detail on that below!)

- New Trophy Store Items

- Heroes: Pat Fusty Pet Pig
- Monkeys: Buccaneer Flavored Trades projectiles
- Game & UI: Spooky Night banner

- New Limited Time trophy items (Note: Not available until the seasonal event begins!)

- Tricky Ghosts avatar, Bat BFBs Bloon skin

- New CT Team Store items

- Flying Props: Haunting Ghoul
- Icons: Carved Pumpkin Icon
- Frames: Spider's Web Frame

##### Game Changes / Additions

- Co-op overhaul (Part 1)

- We are currently going through a large overhaul of the co-op code, which will happen over multiple updates. This first phase is already showing us greatly improved average performance and cleaner game state handling.

- Revamped in game store

- We really felt it was time to make our store nicer and easier to engage with. Please browse at your leisure, with separate sections to more easily find what you’re looking for and improved display of visuals and descriptions.
- Along with this we’ve added a couple brand new packs to check out

- Fast Track Pack! A returning favorite from BTD5, with dynamic improvements!

- When enabled, skip the first 25% of rounds for the current game. This scales to match how long the mode is, so for any 300 round custom challenge enjoyers out there you will now be able to skip the first 75!
- Starting Cash is updated to reflect these skipped rounds
- Starting Hero XP is updated to reflect these skipped rounds
- Double Cash & Fast Track can now be enabled/disabled from the play screen
- Available in most areas, however will still not show in Competitive Modes or CHIMPS
- Challenge Editor will support a ‘Fast Track Disabled’ option at launch for any challenge creators who wish to enforce the starting rounds in their challenges

- Pets Pack IAP
