Editing Cowboy (section)

==Trivia==
*The '''Cowboy''' could have been unlocked from the [[Badlands]] map. However, this map was removed in the [[v1.4.0|Wanted Dead Update]] and replaced with [[Badlands II]].
**The '''Cowboy''' could have also been unlocked by triumphing [[End of the Line]]. However, this map was removed in the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]].
*The '''Cowboy''' has had many ways to generate money throughout the updates.
**Between the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]] and [[Release v1.11|Smaller = Bigger Update]], the '''Cowboy''' was unable to generate cash.
**Before the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], the '''Cowboy''' could generate cash with its ''Gold Rush'' ability at Level 5, which had a 4% chance to drop a money bag worth between {{Money|100}} and {{Money|350}} every time it damaged an enemy.
**Between the [[Release v1.11|Smaller = Bigger Update]] and [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the '''Cowboy''' had a 12% chance (1% chance at Level 5) to generate between {{Money|60}} and {{Money|750}} cash, with the max amount increasing with each wave.
***This made the '''Cowboy''' generate an absurd amount of money for early and mid-game waves, making it a direct replacement to the [[Farm]] for many players at the time.
**Between the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]] and [[v1.4.0|Wanted Dead Update]], the '''Cowboy''' could generate at minimum of between {{Money|10}} and {{Money|60}} cash every fifth shot at Level 2, with the max amount increasing by {{Money|1}} with each wave.
**After the [[v1.4.0|Wanted Dead Update]], the '''Cowboy''' can generate a set amount of cash every sixth shot.
*Before the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], the '''Cowboy''' used to have the ''Gold Rush'' ability, which had a 65-second cooldown but increased its damage by 65% and every time the '''Cowboy''' damaged an enemy, there was a 4% chance to drop a money bag worth between {{Money|100}} and {{Money|350}}.
**This ability was replaced with ''The Wildest of the West'' ability which increased its damage by 50% and had a 30-second cooldown. This was removed in the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]].
**The sound effect that played when ''The Wildest of the West'' ability was activated is from ''Command & Conquer''.
*The former store description for the '''Cowboy''' erroneously stated that it generated money on every fifth shot. It actually generated money on every ''sixth'' shot, and continues to do this now, with the new store description correcting this.
*Before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the [[Ranger|Outlaw]] and the '''Cowboy''' were the only towers that had negative changes in their upgrades. Currently, it does also have a negative upgrade change as with a few other towers, including the Ranger (formerly the Outlaw), after a lengthy period where negative upgrades did not exist.
**For the '''Cowboy''', this was the Level 5 upgrade, which decreased damage as a trade-off for a much lower firerate (thereby shooting faster).
***The chance for the '''Cowboy''' to generate cash with each shot was also decreased to compensate for the faster firerate.
**For the [[Ranger|Outlaw]], this was the Level 3 upgrade, which increased the firerate as a trade-off for much higher damage, similarly to the current Level 4 '''Ranger'''.
*Between the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]] and [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the store stated the '''Cowboy''' to be an event tower, even though it was not.
*The Level 3 upgrade name between the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]] and [[v1.4.0|Wanted Dead Update]] used to be misspelled as ''Dualing Instincts'' when it should be ''Duelling Instincts''.
