__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Gunslinger''' is the final boss of [[Badlands II]].

Although it moves slowly, it has a large amount of health and many abilities that can stun lots of towers and destroy units, making it one of the most difficult bosses to defeat in the game. Additionally, the '''Gunslinger''' is immune to being stunned by the [[Electroshocker]] and [[Warden]] and it is instead slowed down, frozen by freezing towers like the [[Freezer]], [[Frost Blaster]] and [[Sledger]], slowed down by the [[Toxic Gunner]], confused by the [[Jester]], knocked back, damaged by the [[Nuke]]'s fallout damage and slowed down by the [[DJ Booth]].

The '''Gunslinger''' has four abilities:
#Its first, ''Skull Shot'', makes it fire its revolver at multiple towers, creating a shockwave on impact that stuns towers and deals 500 damage to units.
#Its second ability, ''Shell Rain'', makes it fire its double-barreled shotgun into the air, making multiple shells fall from the sky, which upon hitting the ground create a shockwave that stuns towers and deals 500 damage to units.
#Its third, ''Crossbones Crossfire'', has its Gatling gun fire haphazardly, stunning many towers and damaging multiple units in the process by 20 damage per bullet.
#Its fourth, ''Time's Up'', is a rage mode ability where the '''Gunslinger''' takes out both of its weapons and screams, decreasing the range of nearby towers by 50% with the [[Scared Debuff]]. It also creates a brief sandstorm on the map, though this is not guaranteed to happen.

The '''Gunslinger''' only spawns on the middle path on Wave 30, ignoring the [[All Paths]] modifier.

==Appearance==
The '''Gunslinger''' is a large skeletal humanoid with a waist and lower arms in its rig. It wears brown pants that cover its waist and legs as well as a black shirt that covers its torso and arms. It has a skull for a head, with an angry expression, as well as a dark brown cowboy hat. It has black shoulder-pads, grey and black arm-pads and brown gloves on each arm.

It has a dark grey scarf, a black chestplate and two brown bandoliers filled with yellow bullets on its torso. It has a brown wooden coffin on its back, which conceals a mounted black and golden Gatling gun. It also has a steampunk themed black and gold blunderbuss and double barrel shotgun hanging off of the coffin. It has black and grey knee-pads and brown shoes on its legs, as well as a belt on its waist, with yellow bullets stored on it.

The '''Gunslinger''' has a death animation, where it be lit entirely on fire and fall forward. After the fire disappears, it will appear completely black.

==Strategy==
*High DPS towers, such as the [[Accelerator]], [[Turret]], [[Engineer]], [[Golden Minigunner]] and [[Ranger]] are recommended to defeat the '''Gunslinger'''.
**The [[Pursuit]] can also be useful here, as it is immune to stuns and debuffs, making it unaffected by all of the '''Gunslinger's''' abilities.
**The [[Ranger]] is immune to stuns from the '''Gunslinger's''' abilities, making it very useful against the '''Gunslinger'''.
**The [[Turret]] can be a bit useful here, as it is immune to the [[Scared Debuff]] applied by the '''Gunslinger'''.
*Make sure to sell any [[Farm]]s to maximize the number of towers attacking the '''Gunslinger'''. They do not produce any income anymore, count towards your tower limit and can be replaced by a more useful tower.
**In [[Badlands II]], due to the high number of enemies that spawn, you will have more than enough money by the time the '''Gunslinger''' spawns, meaning that you can sell your [[Farm]]s earlier.
**The [[Cowboy]] and [[Golden Cowboy]] can still produce income, so you can keep them if you need more cash for your towers. However, this is generally not necessary, as you will get a lot of cash from damaging enemies and the '''Gunslinger''' itself.
***Because of this, you can also sell your [[Cowboy]]s or [[Golden Cowboy]]s at later waves, if you can place down any other high DPS towers.
*The [[DJ Booth]] can be used to partially mitigate the effects of the '''Gunslinger's''' [[Scared Debuff]].
**It can also be useful at increasing your tower's range and decreasing its upgrade costs.
**You can also try to replace your towers after the ''Time's Up'' ability, though this is not necessary.
*The [[Medic]] can be quite useful for shielding your towers from stuns.
**Do note that the [[Medic]]'s shield cannot be used to protect towers from the [[Scared Debuff]].
*The '''Gunslinger''' cannot be slowed down by most towers.
**Due to how short the map is, the [[Jester]] can be useful to stall the boss.
**The [[Warden]] and [[Electroshocker]] can slow down the '''Gunslinger''' instead of stunning it, though because of its large size, the [[Warden]] can only slow it down for a shorter amount of time.
**It is also immune to being frozen by the [[Freezer]], [[Frost Blaster]] and [[Sledger]], due to its freeze immunity.
***The [[Frost Blaster]] and [[Sledger]] can, however, be useful against the enemies that appear before the '''Gunslinger'''.
**The [[Toxic Gunner]] cannot slow this down as the '''Gunslinger''' is immune to its slowdown. It can, however, be useful against the enemies that appear before it.
**The [[Jester]] cannot confuse it, though it can still slow it down with its ice bombs.

==Trivia==
*The '''Gunslinger's''' name is the word for men in the American Old West who had gained a reputation for being dangerous with a gun.
*Upon death, the '''Gunslinger''' will burst into flames and collapse. This is likely a reference to how people or animals perish in the desert due to the scorching heat, leading to dehydration and death. Due to the environment, their bones never fully decompose.
*The Level 5 {{Color|Other|Badlands}} skin for the [[Cowboy]] and [[Golden Cowboy]] is heavily based on this enemy.
*The scream that can be heard when the '''Gunslinger''' performs its ''Time's Up'' ability is the same one that can be heard while fighting the [[Nuclear Monster]].
*Due to a bug, [[Badlands II]] matches may sometimes have more than four players, making it a [[MEGA Servers|MEGA Server]]. This will cause the '''Gunslinger's''' health to increase by 15,000 for each player.
