'''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 16 and grants it +16 damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s, increases the damage of its rifle attack from 10 to 24 and damage to [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified Bloon]]s from +10 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.

===Marking attack===
===Marking attack===
The marking attack places a mark on a target Bloon every 9 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 9 seconds. It has the same range as the rifle and is active regardless of which weapon the Desperado is currently using.

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.
