It was introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 v49.0]] as a new [[Tower category|Primary]] Monkey. Their abilities revolve around his three weapon types: the pistol, the rifle, and the shotgun. The pistol is a flexible two shot burst that all Desperados have, the rifle is a long range straight line piercing attack, while the shotgun releases bursts of shrapnel to hit other Bloons nearby. The tower currently has no [[Paragon]].

The Desperado is a [[Primary]] [[tower]] that [[attack]]s with a pistol, which fires two rounds each time it attacks. It can be upgraded to replace its pistol with a revolver that fires more rounds per shot, use a rifle to attack Bloons out of range of its pistol, or use a shotgun to attack Bloons close to it.
