Deadeye

Line 18:

'''Deadeye''' is the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It modifies the pistol attack, gains a secondary rifle [[attack]], and unlocks the Take Aim [[Activated Ability]].

*'''Rifle''': This attack ~~occurs every~~ 1.59 seconds and deals 10 damage, deals +10 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s, has 4 [[pierce]], and can pop all Bloon types ~~a single shot~~. It has 80 [[range]] with a minimum of 40 range. Like the pistol, it has a chance to [[crit]] for 4× damage that increases based on the distance between the Desperado and the target, starting at 2.5% and increasing by 0.4% per distance unit from the target (up to +34.5% at max range before buffs).

*'''Rifle''': This single-shot attack has a cooldown of 1.59 seconds and deals 10 damage, deals +10 damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s, has 4 [[pierce]], and can pop all Bloon types. It has 80 [[range]] with a minimum of 40 range. Like the pistol, it has a chance to [[crit]] for 4× damage that increases based on the distance between the Desperado and the target, starting at 2.5% and increasing by 0.4% per distance unit from the target (up to +34.5% at max range before buffs).

*'''Pistol''' The pistol has a fixed 40 range and only uses it when Bloons are within that range. The pistol's [[damage]] increases from 1 to 6.

Deadeye offers supplementary high damage and support for the midgame at a reasonable cost. Its Take Aim ability can help counter difficult situations temporarily, allowing the target tower to reach more Bloons with better accuracy, and clear away Camos that Deadeye cannot alone. The rifle should be aimed far away to maximize crit chances and avoid the pistol; the pistol is worse at anything but exactly one target.
