Big Iron is the Desperado's path 1 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It increases the number of shots it fires when it attacks from 2 to 6 and increases its damage from 1 to 2. Since it has to fire all six shots before it starts its attack cooldown, it effectively takes an additional 0.4 seconds to unload all shots and start its next cooldown.
