Marked to Pop is an [[Activated Ability]] that temporarily stops all the Desperado's other attacks, switching it to a non-damaging attack that rapidly marks Bloons for 2 seconds (marking up to 30 Bloons without any attack speed modifiers), then switching it to an attack that rapidly attacks only marked Bloons for 1 second, before returning it to using its other attacks.

Bounty Hunter
Portrait of Bounty Hunter
Icon of Bounty HunterMarked to Pop ability: Marks extra Bloons, then proceeds to attack all Marked Bloons. Marked Bloons take more damage and give more cash. All Desperados can target Marked Bloons.
Tower Desperado — Path 2 — Tier 4
XP cost 18,000
Cash cost $5,100 — Easy
$6,000 — Medium
$6,480 — Hard
$7,200 — Impoppable

Bounty Hunter is the Desperado's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Its pistol does +6 damage versus Ceramic Bloons, its rifle gains +10 damage to Ceramics that is mutually exclusive to its Fortified Bloon bonus damage, unlocks a non-damaging attack that places marks on Bloons, the Marked to Pop Activated Ability, and an improved version of the Take Aim ability. If at least one Bounty Hunter is present, it grants all Desperados the capability to prioritize marked Bloons.

Mechanics

[edit | edit source]

Marking attack

[edit | edit source]

The marking attack places a mark on up to 2 target Bloons every 6 seconds. Marked Bloons take double damage from Desperados and give twice as much cash per pop (affected by cash per pop modifiers in later rounds), but it only affects one layer. It can affect MOAB-Class Bloons, though they do not display any visual indication that they are affected. This attack is affected by attack speed modifiers, but cannot have its attack speed reduced to be below 3 seconds. It has the same range as the rifle and is active regardless of which weapon the Desperado is currently using.

Mark prioritization

[edit | edit source]

If there is at least one Desperado with the Bounty Hunter upgrade on the map, all Desperados gain a Monkey Special that causes them to prioritize marked Bloons when enabled. This option disappears if the only Desperado with this upgrade or Golden Justice on the map is removed.

Marked to Pop

[edit | edit source]

Marked to Pop is an Activated Ability that temporarily stops all the Desperado's other attacks, switching it to a non-damaging attack that rapidly marks Bloons for 2 seconds (marking up to 10 Bloons without any attack speed modifiers), then switching it to an attack that rapidly attacks only marked Bloons for 1 second, before returning it to using its other attacks. Both attacks have infinite range, but can only target Bloons within line of sight. The second attack deals 30 damage per hit (before the damage multiplier from being marked), can damage all Bloon types, and has a chance to crit for 4× damage (like all attacks with Bullseye).

Both of this ability's attacks benefit from Quickdraw, Standoff, Wanderer, and Nomad in the same way as the pistol and rifle attacks.

Take Aim

[edit | edit source]

Bounty Hunter has an improved version of Deadeye's Take Aim ability. It applies +50% range instead of +25%, reduces spread by 80% instead of 50%, and allows the affected tower to damage Black Bloons, White Bloons, and Purple Bloons.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
This section was last updated for: version 54.0

Bounty Hunter is a major farming support tower, with its Take Aim ability being able to increase Monkey City range to cover more Banana Farms in the transition to Monkeyopolis. It can also directly make income when combined with blimp instakills, namely XXXL Trap and Pirate Lord, as the marked status is not applied to multiple layers. It is not very effective compared to conventional farming methods, however.

Outside of farming, the marked status help Desperados deal much more damage to single targets, such as against Rounds 60, 80, and 100. The improved Take Aim's temporary Bloon weakness removal assists towers such as The Biggest One (versus DDTs), Recursive Cluster, Arctic Knight, and Ring of Fire, in addition to extra range and Camo detection. It is also a solid choice on Monkey Villages, such as spreading Monkey Commerce buffs further.

2-4-0 is usually the better crosspath due to its large synergy with Quickdraw's speed buffs when attacking far targets, plus better single-target damage via Standoff, compared to 0-4-2 which is more consistent against groups instead.

  • Change Mark attack: No longer applies Bloontonium Reactor's "radiation" visuals on marked Bloons when crosspathed (bug fix)
  • Nerf Marked to Pop 'Execution' attack: Damage when crosspathed reduced ― 100 → 30 (undocumented) (bug fix)

[...] the rest of the higher tiers in this path see a number of stat improvements to balance out their unique use cases.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $8,000 → $6,500
    • Buff Overall cost reduced by $1,650 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Pistol: Damage increased ― 12 → 16
  • Buff Pistol: Bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons increased ― +12 → +16 (undocumented)

  • Buff Pistol now reloads at the end of the round
0-4-1, 0-4-2
  • Change No longer crashes when loading a game save or using Retry Last Round (bug fix)
Desperado’s middle path did too many things, so we’re streamlining its kit. The base stat improvements have been removed, instead ramping up its passive Bloon Marking debuff which refocuses the path on its bounty hunting identity and interactions.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $6,500 → $6,000
  • Buff Mark attack: Cooldown reduced ― 9s → 6s
  • Buff Mark attack: Minimum cooldown reduced ― 9s → 3s
    • Note: This means the attack can now be affected by attack speed buffs, up to a minimum of 3s
  • Nerf Pistol: Damage reduced ― 16 → 6
  • Nerf Pistol: Bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons reduced ― +16 → +6
  • Nerf Rifle: Damage reduced ― 24 → 10
  • Nerf Rifle: Bonus damage to Fortified Bloons reduced ― +24 → +10

    • Note: Bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons does not apply to the Pistol attack
  • Buff Mark attack: Pierce increased ― 1 → 2
  • Buff Mark attack: Projectile radius increased ― 2 units → 18 units
    • Note: Does not affect bottom crosspath
0-4-1, 0-4-2
  • Buff Mark attack: Projectile radius increased to match other crosspaths ― 2 → 18 (bug fix)
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.
— Update notes
  • Buff Targeting and weapon selection: Desperados will now prioritize attacking Bloons with the Rifle over any pistol target
  • Nerf Rifle attack: Cannot longer target Bloons in the pistol's range
    • Note: This is implemented as a minimum range of 40 units
  • Neutral Pistol attack: Range increased ― 28 units → 40 units
    • Note: Rifle range unchanged (80 units)
  • Neutral 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.
