Man, i remember these old days, i loved the peak and enjoyed the maximum of cowboy and the John tower that i got with his first code, before going to shop for coins..❤
Exactly. A money making tower that you need to beat badlandsII which is easily top three hardest modes AND painfully grind that 50k for the golden skin should definitely be leagues better than the money making tower you can get after playing a few rounds
@@Cooler-wh4rg nah polluted wastelandsII is a little harder because of the absurd amount of health and basically everyone needs either accel or engineer to deal with it.
from what i recall, you could get the cowboy from another map before it was soley locked to badlands, i actually remember getting it from the other map that was western themed, that being end of the line
the more recent g cowboy update made it so he shoots faster than a norma cowboy and also has to shoot more times for a money shot to compensate the very high fire rate
I got cowboy a few days before polluted and all of those new special game modes came out, and I’m so happy I did so, even though the new version was probably easier, but at least I didn’t have to worry about eye balling the new gamemode.
funfact: an old map was called "end of the line" a easy difficulty map beating this map gives you cowboy afterward the map got removed, badlands stayed until wanted dead update
Video felt rushed in the Bl2 part. You forgot golden perks golden cowboy, how broken bl2 gc and nc was, their roles in solo hardcore, which is one of the most important things, the small nerfs gc keeps receiving, the huge nerf nc and gc got, the small buff gc got, and the current buffs gc and nc has. You also forgot Hardcore Testing Cowboy, which has the worst stats for cowboy history. And how golden cowboy before the cash drops was considered mid.
You also forgot the skin history too. You just forgot it exists until like bl2 then you only mentioned badlands cowboy and simply just said "3 new skins" Without showcasing what these new skins are
I remember beating the original badlands map and getting the kasodus cowoy from the code it was very nostalgic! My main tower was john. I just spammed it with it's ability since I didn't have any good tower back then. My friends carried me and now I carry my friends :)
I know I’m way to late to this but why won’t they keep the map? It could work if end of the line gives cowboy and badlands/badlands ll gives golden cowboy
Can you make a video about the platinum crate? I had 3 platinum skins. One of them was a plat crook boss, and the other 2 i forgot. I believe that instead of DMG boost, Firerate boost should be the boost instead.
Badlands 2 is gonna get a custom wave layout due to the challenge maps being added in the classic event, so after that it will definitely be the last hurrah to bl2 amd cowboy
18:47 Polluted Wastelands 2 was actually the first one to use modifiers also you skipped some parts of cowboy history mainly the golden cowboy buff in the golden perks update
Yeah you’re right on PW2. There were some parts that I didn’t go over in the video since it was already very long. Thanks for letting me know though! 👍
kinda sad that i cant get money from mystery enemies anymore with cowboy since the second i get a mystery lead boss then its basically raining money, but now i gotta manually change the targeting on some of the cowboys so now the other cowboys are going to have to miss out on getting cash while the other ones get nothing and i end up not getting enough cash for certain upgrades to deal with later waves, man i hate reasonably justified balances for a certain tower to be good at what its supposed to do to then become worse at what its intended purpose of use is :(
Kinda sad that you didn't mention it's impact on solo hardcore, as it was included in the first ever loadout it was beatable with (might have been doable in hardcore beta, idk)
3:12 I remember seeing this map when playing TDS... And beating it... But not this EXACT map, the remake with just basically improved the graphics of it. 10:56 and the time im talking about is THIS
Cowboy receiving a ton of changes meanwhile turret and pursuit crying on the corner because they only received stat reworks and pursuit havent gotten a single skin
Man, I miss the cowboy having a gatling gun. Im pretty sure why they changed it was because the game was already chock full of low-damage high-firerate towers like Soldier, John, Minigunner, Turret, etc. And perhaps with the gatling gun, he looked too similar to Minigunner on the field. Still, would be nice to get a skin someday that changes it back, I dont care if the animation of the gatling gun doesn't actually match his firerate lol.
Pretty sure my old acc was either before cowboy prime or during cowboys worst nerf (I remember the outlaw and old cowboy design, but I don't remember the old-old badlands, and only the reworks one)
Took me many time to try beat the og one but still fail despite how difficult due to lane spawn for the enemy, total confused and got it when it got massive change to badlands we know now.
When I started playing the game I won medium badlands and got cowboy but I was still kinda young and I didn’t know what it was and thought it was trash
Hey sorry to bother y’all but I bought the cowboy so I don’t have to beat badlands but I didn’t get it when I bought it so anyone know how this works for me to get it because I can’t beat badlands II
i was og enough to see original badlands map, and beat it
No g
Same except I never beat it
back then i was lv
I just never beat it
i got cowboy from molten mode
Man, i remember these old days, i loved the peak and enjoyed the maximum of cowboy and the John tower that i got with his first code, before going to shop for coins..❤
Same here! 🔥
I never really progressed in old tds, I just got the John tower, asked the randos where'd the swat vans come from, and then I left.
And when ranger was the best along with john. His buff was so op
I didnt really understand anything about the game back then. Im pretty sure i played back when cowboy just got released though
Same
I’m glad golden cowboy is in a position where it is more viable than farm, for the cost it definitely was needed.

yeah that map was way easier too, and you didn't have to beat it on insane mode (fallen)
Thats in the video
I believe it was dead ahead?
@@noname-ji1db i believe thats another one too
@@noname-ji1dbno it’s they end of the line map
I remember beating end of the line back in 2018-19 and I had no clue I got the cowboy until I got freezer.
The cowboy has been one of my favourite towers, especially when it was the first golden tower i got in 2020, the same year i joined.
Man i miss my old attack farms. But the new attack farms aint bad ngl. I just wish gold cowboy had the old lever action it used to have.
I still remember beating it with randoms in end of the line with crook spam, good times
Great video Sunken, loved the nostalgia!
However, I must point out that Polluted Wastelands 2 was the first map to add modifiers like mutation.
Yeah you’re right thanks for letting me know 👍
First time I played this game was in 2020 for egg hunt and the second time I played it was in 2024 for The Hunt….
Cowboy back then was super easy to get back then because all you needed was Crook boss was insanely overpowered
Sadly I thought I had to beat molten mode for cowboy but once I beat it I REALIZED I HAS TO DO FALLEN

Yeah you’re right thanks for letting me know 👌
I remember when the Kasodus skin actually resembled Kasodus
fr it was kinda shooting weird tho
I am OG enough to have never have beaten Badlands 2 whilst still having Golden Cowboy
Bro golden cowboy was my farmer back then and im glad to see it rising up because i loved the tower so much
17:21 well RIP for the people who had to do it on fallen mode, I got it on molten
I just skipped getting cowboy in my era lol (and so I suffered to get him in 2023)

1:54 Erm, actually, there is the "Redemption" cowboy skin 🤓☝
there actually is a skin called "Redemption Cowboy" and im not sure if its meant to be a reference to rdr2 but it sure seems like it
The redemption skin is John Marstons outfit probably an RDR1 reference cause it’s johns og outfit
1:02 Yo that’s my channels video! Love to see it

seeing these old clips is so nostalgic tds really went all out on the quality

honestly that's what is missing from the special gamemodes, they should be gamemodes on their own
That’s pretty interesting I can’t wait for them to add that! 💪
0:43 Wrong Gun sound that's a glock not a revolver which the cowboy uses
The retired cowboy after hearing someone likes a dead body more then him:
4:01 were they the one who created that? 2 player in the background

Remember when the coin it had the same ability as gladiator does now, I remember it and I would spam that all the time
oh and btw, the current cowboy doesn't have cash shot anymore, it gives cash per burst of 6 {12 at level 4+}
Hmm, Before Bdl2 I remember when Golden Cowboy got a buff that allowed him to produce the cash at level 0 and maybe dps buff.

bro i randomly joined people in the wanted dead update map and non of them had the high dps towers you mentioned and we won like chads 💀
The feeling of beating the old badlands map was so nice tbh
Yeah, it was much more difficult than the new badlands.
You can still get the quick draw badge and get the badlands cowboy skin
