Wanderer is the Desperado's path 3 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the Desperado's attack speed by 30%, but reduces it by 10% for every tower (but not sub-towers) within its range except itself (to a minimum of 0% extra attack speed). If the Desperado has additional weapons, each weapon is only affected by towers within its own range; for example, a tower within range of Deadeye's rifle, but not the pistol, will only reduce the speed of the rifle attack.

The Wanderer's speed buff can be difficult to maintain if it needs more buffs, or when building extra defenses nearby. Losing the Wanderer buffs are usually unavoidable for rifles (Deadeye and above), due to their high range. However, shotguns (Enforcer and above), with their lower range can still receive the full buff with less distancing required. The Wanderer buff is not so effective as a crosspath for top and middle paths, but strong for higher-tier bottom path upgrades.
