How to Obtain Towers in Tower Defense Simulator

You can acquire most towers in Tower Defense Simulator by purchasing them through the Items menu using Coins. Hardcore towers can also be bought from the same menu, but require Gems. Earn Gems by playing Hardcore mode, which becomes available when you reach level 50. Limited, event-specific towers not included in this tier list are usually obtainable only through special events within Tower Defense Simulator.

Understanding Golden Perk Tower Variations

Several towers from the tier list feature Golden perk variants, including the Scout, Soldier, Cowboy, Pyromancer, Crook Boss, and Minigunner. You can acquire these unique skins through the Skins tab in the Shop menu. Alternatively, purchasing a Golden Crate may yield a random skin.

Keep in mind that both individual skins and crates require a significant number of Coins. Additionally, stock for skins and crates in the Shop is limited and refreshes daily, so patience might be necessary to secure a Golden variant for your TDS towers.

This concludes our comprehensive tower list for Tower Defense Simulator. To jumpstart your tower acquisition, be sure to redeem our active Tower Defense Simulator codes.
