Cowboy

"Won from beating a Badlands."

―In-game Description

Description

The Cowboy is a map unlocked tower that cannot be bought in the store. It can be obtained by triumphing Badlands on Normal mode or higher.

It wears a cowboy hat and has clothing similar to that of a western style person. It also wields a Ruger Redhawk 44 Magnum.

While its initial firerate is considered to be slow, it deals high damage. The range is, however, comparably smaller than other towers, such as the Minigunner. At maximum level, the Cowboy deals high damage for a somewhat fast firerate. The Wildest of the West ability is also unlocked which means it can deal 35% more damage for 10 seconds. This means that, briefly, the Cowboy can surpass the Minigunner's DPS.

This tower is mostly considered a early game to mid-game tower but if used near a DJ Booth. It could be used for late-game as if could be balanced between the damage and range as it reach 20.

Strategy

• You may have to wait a while before placing the Cowboy down due to the fact it costs $650 to place down.
  • You will have to rely on your teammates or base health during that period.
• While the Cowboy may be one of the best towers for early game, you might have to switch out this tower with better towers for late game.
• The Cowboy can be considered a cheaper alternative to the Minigunner.

Trivia

• Before the October update, Cowboy used to have a skill called "Gold Rush" which had a 65s cooldown but boosted its own damage by 65% and gave a 4% to drop a money bag worth $100-$350.
  • This made it the only other economy tower with the other being the Farm.
• The Cowboy tower could've also been unlocked by triumphing End of the Line, but as of the October update it was removed temporarily as the map was still being remade.
• Its Golden Skin is the only skin without wings or a halo at level 5.
