'''Big Iron''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the number of shots it fires when it attacks from 2 to 6 and increases its [[damage]] from 1 to 2. Since it has to fire all six shots before it starts its [[attack speed|attack cooldown]], it effectively takes an additional 0.4 seconds to unload all shots and start its next cooldown.

Big Iron's single-target damage is decent if placed far to maximize the [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]] and [[Standoff]] benefits, in addition to slightly better catching of strays. Setting to Strong is usually preferred to focus on high-HP bloons. 3-2-0 is preferrable in most cases, since the crit damage allows one-shotting of Rainbows<!--2*4=8--> and synergizes well with those aforementioned top-path upgrades, compared to the 3-0-2 which isn't so synergetic with its cleanup.

For crosspaths, 3-2-0 is preferable in most cases, since the 4x crit damage allows one-shotting of Rainbows<!--2*4=8--> and goes in favor of Quickdraw, resulting in more DPS overall than 3-0-2. 3-0-2's pure speed buffs have less DPS on average, as its higher shot count limits its synergy with speed buffs due to having a fixed firing rate (but not a fixed reload time).<!--you could try blimp debuff shenanigans, but plz dont-->

Big Iron is the Desperado's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the number of shots it fires when it attacks from 2 to 6 and increases its damage from 1 to 2. Since it has to fire all six shots before it starts its attack cooldown, it effectively takes an additional 0.4 seconds to unload all shots and start its next cooldown. Additionally it increases Standoff bonus from +60% to +120% but increases penalty per additional bloon from -15% to -30%.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
This section was last updated for: version 50.2

Big Iron's single-target damage is decent if placed far to maximize the Quickdraw and Standoff benefits, in addition to slightly better catching of strays, and with its stronger Standoff it excels against single blimp rounds such as round 40. Setting to Strong is usually preferred to focus on high-HP bloons.

For crosspaths, 3-2-0 is preferable in most cases, since the 4x crit damage allows one-shotting of Rainbows and goes in favor of Quickdraw, resulting in more DPS overall than 3-0-2. 3-0-2's pure speed buffs have less DPS on average, as its higher shot count limits its synergy with speed buffs due to having a fixed firing rate (but not a fixed reload time).
