Unused Code

In old versions of the game, there was an unused folder named SpecialtyDefinitions, which is the same name as the folder in Bloons TD 5 for holding Specialty Building data. However, the folder here is different, as it features completely unused "items" that would have been obtained in some unknown way. They appear to have a range of 3 rarities: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, ranking how useful and/or rare they are. Most of the items have effects on towers that are reminiscent of upgrades from specialty buildings in Bloons TD 5, and they all have icons referenced but don't seem to exist. As some items require certain towers placed, they probably would've been used in-game and selected before one started, only applicable if your loadout has the specific towers needed for the effects.

This folder, alongside the data in it, was removed in an unknown later version of the game.

Name	Rarity	Description	Effects	Note
Amulet of Sacrifice	Bronze	"-10% cost of all towers and upgrades, -5% attack speed on all towers"	Modifies tower attack cooldown to 1.05 (decreasing attack speed by 5%) and tower costs to 0.9 (decreasing cost by 10%).
Arcane Staff	Gold	"Apprentice has additional seeking bolt attack"	Self-explanatory	Likely would have been similar to the attack from the Tier 3 upgrade of the Monkey Apprentice specialty building in Bloons TD 5.
Banana Vacuum	Silver	"Bloonchipper collects nearby bananas automatically"	Self-explanatory	Likely would have been similar to the mechanic from the Tier 4 upgrade of the Bloonchipper specialty building in Bloons TD 5. The item name and description is also identical to the ones that upgrade has.
Binoculars	Silver	""+10% attack speed to Mortars, Requires 2 Snipers"	Modifies Mortar attack cooldown to 0.9 (increasing attack speed by 10%) if 2 Sniper Monkeys are placed.
Cooling Fan	Bronze	"-5% ability cooldown"	Modifies tower ability cooldown to 0.95 (reducing ability cooldown by 5%)
Energy Drink	Silver	"+5 seconds to tower boost"	Self-explanatory	Seemingly incomplete, as the Effects section in the files is empty.
Explosive Darts	Gold	"Dart Monkey fires explosive darts"	Self-explanatory	Likely would have been similar to the mechanic from the Tier 4 upgrade of the Dart Monkey specialty building in Bloons TD 5.
Explosive Gel	Silver	"Bombs tower projectiles move faster, Requires Mortar"	none, but it would've required 1 Mortar Tower placed.	Seemingly incomplete, as the Effects section in the files is empty.
Flaming Cannon	Gold	"Replaces Bucanneers dart attack with flaming cannon" (sic)	Darts fired now pop lead bloons.	Likely would have been similar to the attack from the Tier 4 upgrade of the Monkey Buccaneer specialty building in Bloons TD 5.
Glue Bucket	Bronze	"+10% to glue gunners glue effect"	Multiples glue slow effect by 0.9 (slowing bloons by 140%)
Golden Shuriken	Gold	"Ninja Monkey shurikens last much longer"	Multiples projectile cutoff distance by 2 (730 total).
Inspiring Flag	Bronze	"+5% attack speed to all towers"	Modifies tower attack cooldown to 0.95 (increasing attack speed by 5%)

Monkarang	Gold	"Boomerang Monkey fires 2 boomerangs instead of 1"	Self-explanatory	Likely would have been similar to the attack from the Tier 4 upgrade of the Boomerang Thrower specialty building in Bloons TD 5. Interestingly enough, the description calls Boomerang Throwers "Boomerang Monkeys", which is what they would later be called in Bloons TD 6.
Mounted Dartling Guns	Gold	"Adds forward firing gunners to Monkey Ace"	Self-explanatory	Likely would have been similar to the attack from the Tier 3 upgrade of the Monkey Ace specialty building in Bloons TD 5.
Oiled Gears	Silver	"+20% attack speed to Spike Factory, Requires 2 Engineers"	Modifies Spike Factory's tower attack cooldown to 0.80 (increasing attack speed by 20%), requiring 2 Monkey Engineers placed to apply the effects.
Shard of Everfrost	Bronze	"+10% duration to freeze effect"	Multiples Ice Tower's Bloon freeze duration by 1.1 (a 10% increase)	The name of this item is a reference to a special item in Bloons Monkey City, where it has a similar purpose.
Signal Flare	Silver	"+20% range to Monkey Villages, Requires 5 Dart Monkeys"	Modifies Monkey Village tower range to 1.2 (increasing it by 20%), requiring 5 Dart Monkeys to enable that effect.
Spell Book	Silver	"+5% attack speed on all towers. 5% chance any shot will have double pierce. -5% cost of all towers and upgrades. -10% attack speed to Apprentice. +10% cost of Apprentice and upgrades. Requires Apprentice"	Modifies double pierce chance to 0.05 (5%), tower attack cooldown to 0.95 (increasing attack speed by 5%), tower cost to 0.95 (decreasing it by 5%), Apprentice attack cooldown to 1.10 (increasing it by 10%), and Apprentice cost to 1.10 (increasing it by 10%). Beside the double pierce chance, the Monkey Apprentice does not get any buffs here, but 1 placed in-game is required for them and the nerfs to be active.
Stinger	Silver	"Road spikes pop 50% more bloons"	none	Seemingly incomplete, as the Effects section in the files is empty. This item is especially odd since road spikes don't exist in this game (not counting Spike Factory).
Straw Fuse	Silver	"Pinapple countdown speed doubled" (sic)	none	Seemingly incomplete, as the Effects section in the files is empty. This item is especially odd since pineapple road items don't exist in this game (not counting Monkey Ace's Pineapple Express upgrade).
Titanium Tacks	Gold	"Tack shooter has +1 pierce"	Modifies Tack Shooter popping power(pierce) by 1	Likely would have been similar to the effect from the Tier 4 upgrade of the Tack Shooter specialty building in Bloons TD 5.

X-Ray Visor	Gold	"Super Monkey can pop camo"	Modifies Super Monkey tower so it can pop Camo bloons.	Would have been similar to the Tier 3 upgrade of the Super Monkey specialty building in Bloons TD 5.

Removed Upgrades

In update 6.18 of the game, the Bloonchipper's 3-x upgrade was renamed from Dual Layer Blades to Triple Layer Blades, with the upgrade description updated to reflect the change. Then, in update 6.20, the Triple Layer Blade upgrade has been replaced with the previously tier 4 upgrade, Super Wide Funnel, with a new, exclusive upgrade, Omni-Shredder, taking place of the tier 4 upgrade. This update has also changed the in-game model of the tier 3 Bloonchipper by giving the tower a bigger tube to reflect this change.

Icon	Description	In-game
	"Dual/Triple layer blade array doubly/triply shreds bloons, taking off 2/3 layers instead of 1."
