The Desperado is an upcoming Wild West-themed monkey in Bloons TD 6. It is set to be introduced in version 49.0, which is planned to release in mid-June 2025.[2]
Gameplay
The Desperado is a Primary[3] tower that attacks with a pistol. Each upgrade path grants it a different weapon alongside its starting pistol. It has a strong focus on range.[1]

- Desperado (BTD6) — For gameplay in Bloons TD 6
Physical appearance
Desperados are monkeys with tan fur, grey skin, and brown eyes. The basic Desperado wears a brown cowboy hat, a red bandanna around its neck, and a belt with a holster for its pistol. It has an upgrade that changes its hat to a ten-gallon hat with a green band.
Development
The Desperado was originally planned to be released alongside the Frontier Legends DLC (while it was still named Desperado Legends);[4] however, due changes in the game's development pipeline, Ninja Kiwi decided to release the tower first and release the DLC towards the end of 2025.[2]
“
The Desperado Monkey Tower, while thematically aligned with Frontier Legends, will still drop in June. Desperado is just too cool to hold back, with three very distinct paths, weapons, and play styles, so we are super excited to get them into play this northern hemisphere summer, currently planned for mid-June. Of course, Desperado will have a fun role to play in Frontier Legends, but there will be a new sheriff in town when that drops.

This Monkey is a gun-slinging, Bloon-poppin’ buccaroo. Starting with a humble pistol, each path upgrades into a different weapon alongside the pistol, giving significant variety to play style and effectiveness against different Bloons. Range factors strongly into each path, emphasizing the characteristics of each path’s weapon upgrade. Design and implementation on this new tower is moving ahead strongly, it has already been in testing and balance loops for a couple of weeks, and we are concentrating on how that balance flows through into all game modes. We are genuinely excited about how awesome this tower is looking and playing!
