Bounty Hunter is the Desperado's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the damage of its pistol from 6 to 12 and grants it +12 damage to Ceramic Bloons, increases the damage of its rifle attack from 12 to 24 and damage to Fortified Bloons from +12 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.

Mechanics

Marking attack

The marking attack places a mark on a target Bloon every 9 seconds. Marked Bloons take double damage from all sources and give twice as much cash per pop (affected by cash per pop modifiers in later rounds), but it only affects one layer. It can affect MOAB-Class Bloons, 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. Crosspathing with any upgrade reduces its range to the range of the pistol attack and causes its marks to affect all layers, which appears to be a bug.

Mark prioritization

If there is at least one Desperado with the Bounty Hunter upgrade on the map, all Desperados gain a Monkey Special that causes them to prioritize marked Bloons when enabled. This option disappears if the only Desperado with this upgrade or Golden Justice on the map is removed.

Marked to Pop

Marked to Pop is an Activated Ability that temporarily stops all the Desperado's other attacks, switching it to a non-damaging attack that rapidly marks Bloons for 2 seconds (marking up to 30 Bloons without any attack speed modifiers), then switching it to an attack that rapidly attacks only marked Bloons for 1 second, before returning it to using its other attacks. Both attacks have infinite range, but can only target Bloons within line of sight. The second attack deals 30 damage per hit (before the damage multiplier from being marked), can damage all Bloon types, and has a chance to crit for 4× damage (like all attacks with Bullseye).

Crosspathing with any upgrade applies the following changes:

• The first attack's marks affect all layers instead of just one.
• The first attack's duration increases to 3 seconds and the second attack's duration increases to 6 seconds.
• The second attack's damage per shot increases to 100.
• The second attack's rate of fire is halved.

The attacks from both abilities benefit from Quickdraw, Standoff, Wanderer, and Nomad in the same way as the pistol and rifle attacks.

Take Aim

Bounty Hunter has an improved version of Deadeye's Take Aim ability. It applies +50% range instead of +25%, reduces spread by 80% instead of 50%, and allows the affected tower to damage Black Bloons, White Bloons, and Purple Bloons. Like on Deadeye, this ability is bugged and increases spread by 20% when crosspathed with any upgrade.
