'''Bounty Hunter''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It increases the [[damage]] of its~~ pistol ~~from~~ 6 ~~to 12 and grants it +12~~ damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s, ~~increases the damage of~~ its rifle ~~attack from 12~~ to ~~24 and damage~~ to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]~~s from +12 to +24~~, ~~and~~ 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.

'''Bounty Hunter''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. Its pistol does +6 damage versus [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s, its rifle gains +10 damage to Ceramics that is mutually exclusive to its [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|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==

===Marking attack===

The marking attack places a mark on a target ~~Bloon~~ every 9 seconds. Marked Bloons take double damage from ~~all sources~~ and give twice as much [[cash]] per pop (affected by cash per pop modifiers in later [[round]]s), but it only affects one layer. It can affect [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, 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 9 seconds. It has the same range as the rifle and is active regardless of which weapon the Desperado is currently using~~. [[Crosspath]]ing with any upgrade reduces its range to the range of the pistol attack and causes its marks to affect all layers, which appears to be a bug~~.

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 [[round]]s), but it only affects one layer. It can affect [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, 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.

===Marked to Pop===

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. 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 (BTD6)|Bullseye]]).

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 (BTD6)|Bullseye]]).

~~Crosspathing with any upgrade applies the following changes:~~

*The first attack's marks affect all layers instead of just one.

*The first attack's duration increases to 3 seconds and the second attack's duration increases to 6 seconds.

*The second attack's damage per shot increases to 100.

*The second attack's rate of fire is halved.

Both ~~the~~ ability's attacks benefit from [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]], [[Standoff]], [[Wanderer]], and [[Nomad]] in the same way as the pistol and rifle attacks.

===Take Aim===

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 {{BTD6|Black Bloon}}s, {{BTD6|White Bloon}}s, and {{BTD6|Purple Bloon}}s~~. Like on Deadeye, this ability is bugged and ''increases'' spread by 20% when crosspathed with any upgrade~~.

==Strategy==

Bounty Hunter is a major farming support tower, with its Take Aim ability being able to increase [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]] range to cover more {{BTD6|Banana Farm}}s in the transition to [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]]. It can also directly make income when combined with blimp instakills, namely [[XXXL Trap (BTD6)|XXXL Trap]] and [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|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 (BTD6)|The Biggest One]] (versus DDTs), [[Recursive Cluster (BTD6)|Recursive Cluster]], [[Arctic Knight]], and [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]], in addition to extra range and [[Camo detection]]. It is also a solid choice on [[Monkey Village (BTD6)|Monkey Village]]s, such as spreading [[Monkey Commerce (BTD6)|Monkey Commerce]] buffs further.

2-4-0 is usually the better crosspath due to its large synergy with [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|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.
