- ―Special Gamemode Description
Description
Odyssey is a day-time map set in a small island. This map uses its own mode for the wave structure, enemy statistics and rewards. It is a special map, meaning that it can only be played using the special mode Matchmaking. The statue has a level requirement of Level 85 to be used.
Cash is only gained if an enemy is killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained is a set amount of cash, which is not always equal to the enemy's health. It uses a slightly different method of distributing cash between players, as enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player does all the damage to an enemy, both players will receive 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you receive 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it is damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. For example, the Gunslinger gives 
The health of enemies in this mode scales with the player count, starting at three players. The increase is 10% in trio and 20% in quad. It is applied after attributes, like Bloated, meaning they can affect the health of an enemy.
This map has the All Paths, HP Locked, Pirate and Mutation modifiers that are intended to make the game harder or change the appearance of enemies. The Pirate modifier players some tracks at the start of Wave 1, 10, 20 and 30, The Mutation increases enemy health by 5% with each wave. The All Paths makes it so enemies are duplicated for each path, instead of alternating between points. As this map has three paths, the amount of enemies is tripled, with a few exceptions, such as the Gunslinger and Cavalry, which either alternate between paths or spawn on set paths. The base health is also set to 200, regardless of the players' levels, due to the HP Locked modifier. Most enemies, with the exception of the Husk, Undead Miner, Cavalry and Gunslinger will get a cowboy hat due to the Cowboy modifier.
Triumphing this map will grant you the Firecracker tower, which can be bought in the store for 
Design & Path
The map takes place in a tropical island. The terrain of this island is mainly sand, with plenty of palm trees. There is a good portion of the map covered in water. there are two paths used by the enemies, both starting from inside a pirate ship at the north, both paths are always close together. There is also many rocky formations with vegetation on them, these can be used for Cliff towers.

Between waves 16 to 20, the wave bonus is calculated as:
Between waves 21 to 30, the wave bonus is calculated as:
Depending on player count, the wave bonus is reduced using multipliers. These multipliers are:

|---|---|---|
| Solo | 0% | 0% |
| Duo | 5% | 10% |
| Trio | 5% | 15% |
| Quad | 10% | 40% |
The wave clear bonus appears when every enemy from that wave was killed. It is 35% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it is 20%.

Strategy
- It is recommended to place your towers near the middle section of the map, as it covers most of the map's path.
- Early on, if you are not trying to get the Quickdraw! badge, you can place tower near the point where all the paths intersect to handle all the paths easily, even though they may not cover much of the map.
- As many enemies spawn in this map that with waves get increased health, high DPS towers like Accelerator, Engineer or Golden Minigunner are recommended for late game.
- They are also recommended as the Gunslinger travels quite fast and requires high DPS towers in order to defeat it before it reaches the exit.
- Because of how many enemies spawn here, area of effect towers like the Golden Pyromancer, Rocketeer and Mortar are highly recommended.
- Slowing towers like the Sledger or Electroshocker may also be useful at slowing down enemies.
- High DPS towers with splash damage capabilities, such as the Pursuit, Ranger or Engineer can also be helpful.
- Support towers, such as the Commander, DJ Booth and Medic are necessary due to how dangerous the waves can get.
- The Cowboy and Golden Cowboy can be quite useful at making money here, due to enemies spawning thrice and them gaining health with the Mutation modifier.
- If you want the Quickdraw! badge, it is recommended to have a good strategy, since it is only obtained by beating this map in less than 16 minutes, which is quite a challenge.
- Teamwork is essential for this badge. Playing with random players is unlikely to make you get it.
- If you are soloing, you may use Time Scale Tickets to speed up the game, allowing you to get the badge easier, although this is not recommended as soloing Badlands II is rather difficult.
- If you are trying to get the Quickdraw! badge, early on you should place down towers that can quickly kill the enemies, such as the Trapper, Electroshocker, Golden Pyromancer, Shotgunner or Golden Crook Boss, near all the entrances.
- If you have it, you may use the Nuke to clear out the enemies on Wave 30 so that your towers can focus on the Gunslinger.

Trivia
- This is the second map to have three paths, with the first being Totality Tower.
- It is also the first survival map to have three paths.
- This map ties with Pizza Party for the highest number of modifiers, at five.
- At the beginning of Waves 1, 10, 20 and 30, a random Intro soundtrack is chosen to play, after which the ambience or final wave music will play.
- As there are only three intros and four waves they play on, some Intro soundtracks would play multiple times, though they are currently bugged and all play at once.
