'''Twin Sixes''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 1 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It doubles the number of shots it fires ~~when it attacks~~ (from 6 to 12), halves the time it takes to unload each burst of shots (from 0.1s to 0.~~05s~~), and increases the [[damage]] of each shot from 2 to 6. The time it takes to unload a full ~~cylinder~~ is effectively unchanged from [[Big Iron]], and the cooldown after ~~the full burst~~ remains unchanged. Visually, it has two revolvers and alternates between them when firing.

For its price, Twin Sixes has solid single-target damage but struggles against groups of Bloons ~~due to its lack of pierce.

4-2-0 is generally better ~~as a crosspath~~ as crits can one-shot Ceramics and improves its average DPS more than 4-0-2 when attacking from afar. 4-0-2's speed buffs are less effective even in optimal scenarios, as Desperado's attack speed is limited by the fixed rate of the bursts.
