Tower Defense Simulator Frost Invasion Update Rolls Out New Battle Pass and Sandbox Mode

Tower Defense Simulator is sending in a wave of winter presents for Roblox players with its gargantuan 1.46.0 patch a.k.a. the Frost Invasion update, including the new Outpost 32 map, two new event towers, a new battle pass, and so much more.

Developer Paradoxum Games has spent the last week teasing a massive update, and patch notes for today’s update suggest Frost Invasion may have been worth the hype. There are plenty of rewards for both free and premium players in the event’s chilly battle pass, with some highlights for the latter including a Double Chunk Chocolate Cookie emote, the Dark Frost Electroshocker, and a Frost Legion Mercenary Base. Tower Defense Simulator update 1.46.0 also comes with the long-awaited Sandbox Mode for those looking to experiment as well as an Enemy Index, which can be used to keep track of and learn more about your foes.

undefined — Tower Defense Simulator Frost Invasion event unleashes chilly new features for Roblox players.

Frost Invasion itself injects some story background into the world of Tower Defense Simulator. A description from Paradoxum explains that the event takes place in the research facility known as Outpost 32 and involves the genius Professor V.

“However, during a routine test on the portal, a catastrophic malfunction occurred—tearing a rift to the Frost Dimension,” the description says. “Now, waves of Frost Invaders are pouring through, threatening to obliterate the facility and its vital research.”

To help fight back against the Frost Spirit and his army, Tower Defense Simulator players have been granted access to two new event towers: the Elementalist Tower and the Snowballer Tower. The former can be unlocked by beating Frost Invasion on hard mode, while beating easy mode is all that’s required to unlock the latter.

Paradoxum has given players the gift of more content this holiday season, and it’s a gift that should keep everyone preoccupied for the near future.
