The '''Desperado''' is a [[Primary]] [[tower]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|49.0}}. It uses a pistol that fires twice in rapid succession each time it [[attack]]s. It has high [[range]] but low [[pierce]] and [[damage]], and cannot pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s, [[Frozen]] Bloons, or [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. Its [[upgrade]]s focus on other weapons with different attacking styles. Its first path uses revolvers that fire multiple times per attack which can be further upgraded to fire even faster. Its second path uses a long-range rifle that can land [[Crit]]s, with further upgrades able to place bounties on Bloons that increases the damage they take and generates more [[cash]] when popped, and unlocks two [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]] for support. Its third path uses a shotgun that pushes Bloons back, with further upgrades improving shotgun power and knockback with life loss gimmicks.<ref name="steam-news">{{cite|url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/960090/view/533227017874703216|title=New Monkey Coming June 18!|publisher=Steam News|retrieved=12 jun 2025}}</ref>


The Desperado [[attack]]s with a fast-firing pistol that can hit two Bloons before reloading. It has high [[range]], but low [[pierce]]. Its [[upgrade]]s focus on other weapons with different attacking styles. Its first path uses a revolver that can fire multiple times before reloading, with further upgrades using two revolvers at once. Its second path uses a long-range rifle that can land [[crit]]s and is more likely to land them the further Bloons are from it, with further upgrades being able to place bounties on Bloons that increases the damage they take and generates [[cash]] when they are popped and use two [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]] for support. Its third path uses a blunderbuss that fires buckshot that pushes Bloons back, with further upgrades reducing [[life|lives]] lost from leaking and generate cash from leaked Bloons.<ref name="steam-news"/>
==Mechanics==
The Desperado's pistol attack fires multiple shots in quick succession before it starts its cooldown. The delay between shots is not affected by [[attack speed]] modifiers, and the cooldown does not start until after it fires all shots. If it fires a shot, but there are no targetable Bloons within range while it still has shots left, it waits until it can fire its next shot and does not start its attack cooldown. If it reaches the end of a [[round]], it instantly reloads its shots.
 
The 0-0-0 Desperado fires two shots per attack with a 0.1-second delay between shots and a 1.2-second attack cooldown. Each shot deals 1 [[damage type|Sharp-type]] [[damage]] to its target. Its shots hit the Bloon instantly, without any travel time, and it cannot hit more than one Bloon at a time (even with pierce buffs). Its path 1 upgrades affect the shot count and shot interval of its pistol, and its cooldown can be reduced from its path 1 and 3 upgrades as well as external buffs.

==Strategy==
{{main strategy}}
{{BTD6 last updated|51.2|section=y}}
The Desperado is useful for early game, even on many hard maps. Two Desperados or a Dart Monkey and a Desperado are viable starting choices for CHIMPS runs, and the Desperado's high range and perfect targeting can make these starts very consistent and easy to pull off compared to other options. Base Desperados can be used to chip strong bloons and snipe strays, using mostly Strong and First targeting. They also work as "spotters" for [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|Advanced Intel]] Monkey Subs due to their large range and cheap Camo detection upgrade.
 
The top path focuses on single-target damage with the pistol attack. Compared to bottom path [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper]], top path Desperado can get higher DPS, much higher with Bounty Hunter support, but with limited range. The Blazing Sun is a strong, cheap option for T1 bosses.
 
The middle path focuses more on long range group damage with a rifle. Deadeye and Bounty Hunter offer mid-game support against Ceramics, [[Take Aim]], and Bounty Hunter marking beefy single target blimps to double all Desperado damage against them. Golden Justice does incredible damage with infinite pierce, but its slow attack speed requires cleanup support.
The bottom path focuses on crowd control using a short range shotgun. It has high group damage and knockback, but is weak against single targets and DDTs, and it needs cleanup support to cover its slow attack speed.
