Deadeye
|
 Take Aim ability: target Monkey gains improved range, accuracy, and Camo detection. Desperado gains a long range rifle to use against distant targets. Rifle shots excel against Fortified targets and can pop Lead Bloons.
|
| Tower | Desperado — Path 2 — Tier 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| XP cost | 3,750 | |
| Cash cost | $2,550 — Easy $3,000 — Medium $3,240 — Hard $3,600 — Impoppable | |
Deadeye is the Desperado's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It modifies the pistol attack, gains a secondary rifle attack, and unlocks the Take Aim Activated Ability.
- Rifle: This single-shot attack has a cooldown of 1.59 seconds and deals 10 damage, deals +10 damage to Fortified Bloons, has 4 pierce, and can pop all Bloon types. It has 80 range with a minimum of 40 range, and cannot detect Bloons closer than its minimum range. Like the pistol, the rifle has a chance to crit for 4× damage that increases based on the distance between the Desperado and the target, starting at 2.5% and increasing by 0.4% per distance unit from the target (minimum of 18.5% due to its range restrictions, up to 34.5% at max range before buffs).
- Pistol: It has a fixed 40 range and only uses it when Bloons are within that range. The pistol's damage increases from 1 to 6.
Take Aim allows the player to select any tower on-screen (except Beast Handler) to grant it 25% more range, 50% reduced projectile spread (including fixed and random spread), and Camo detection for 15 seconds, with a cooldown of 30 seconds. If that tower has any sub-towers then the sub-towers also receive this buff. It cannot directly target sub-towers.

This section was last updated for: version 52.2
Deadeye offers supplementary high damage and support for the midgame at a reasonable cost. Its Take Aim ability can help counter difficult situations temporarily, allowing the target tower to reach more Bloons with better accuracy, and clear away Camos that Deadeye cannot alone. The rifle should be aimed far away to maximize crit chances and avoid the pistol; the pistol is worse at anything but exactly one target.
Deadeye can also be spammed inside the range of Primary Mentoring for bursts of damage; it's a viable T3 spam strategy that excels at taking down large groups. Primary Expertise is also a solid choice, granting cheap T2's and additional cleanup. Targeting Strong is preferred for single-target damage, with only some set on First for cleanup.
Take Aim ability's extra range and temporary camo detection is often used to assist rounds that have Camos, though occasionally used to boost Villages (such as Monkey Commerce to discount more towers in range). Take Aim is also useful in maximizing the damage of towers with high projectile spread, such as Buckshot and its upgrades, Grape Shot Buccaneers, or Sun Avatars, allowing all if not most of their projectiles to hit Bloons.
Deadeye's preferred crosspath depends. For most situations, 2-3-0 is preferred because Quickdraw already takes advantage of the rifle attack's high range, plus better single-target damage with Standoff. 0-3-2 has a consistent speed bonus compared to 2-3-0, retaining it if Bloons enter its close range too often, and better versus groups due to Nomad, but more prone to the Wanderer penalty due to the extra range it gains. If used only for Take Aim, not crosspathing is optimal.

“
Mid-path desperado’s pistol was intended to be a soft ‘minimum range’, but implementation was confusing and frustrating to use, somehow again right after Wolfy’s recent struggles (fun videos those), we decided to work on improving the first timer's desperado experience for this path. The Rifle weapon will now always take priority and shoot first over the pistol if there are targets within Rifle radius, HOWEVER, pistol range is now a true deadzone that the rifle cannot target within. TLDR; The pistol now attacks when there are only Bloons within the pistol radius and nothing in the rifle radius.

”
- Targeting and weapon selection: Desperados will now prioritize attacking Bloons with the Rifle over any pistol target
- Rifle attack: Cannot longer target Bloons in the pistol's range
- Note: This is implemented as a minimum range of 40 units
Pistol attack: Range increased ― 28 units → 40 units - Note: Rifle range unchanged (80 units)
- Pistol attack: Range cannot longer be buffed
- This allows range buffs to not reduce the minimum range of the rifle, but prevents the pistol attack from triggering at longer ranges.
