'''Deadeye''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It ~~increases~~ the ~~[[damage]] of its~~ pistol attack ~~from 1 to 6~~, ~~grants it~~ a secondary rifle [[attack]], and unlocks the Take Aim [[Activated Ability]].

'''Deadeye''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|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]].

~~The~~ rifle attack has ~~80 [[range]], 4 [[pierce]],~~ deals 10 damage, deals +10 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s, and can pop all Bloon types~~, but~~ has a ~~slow firing rate (every 1.59s)~~. Like the ~~main attack~~, it 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 (up to +34.5% at max range before buffs). It uses ~~its pistol~~ when Bloons are within ~~its close~~ range ~~(28 units before range buffs), and otherwise uses its rifle~~.

*'''Rifle''': This single-shot attack has a cooldown of 1.59 seconds and deals 10 damage, deals +10 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s, 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 (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]) to grant it 25% more range, 50% reduced projectile spread (including fixed and random spread), and [[Camo detection]] for 15 seconds. If that tower has any sub-towers then the sub-towers also receive this buff. It cannot directly target sub-towers.

Take Aim allows the player to select any [[tower]] on-screen (except [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|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.

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.
