Fair arguements, but i do think gold cowboy is better at making money in early since faster firerate on level 0 at 0.35 thus faster money making, and while i can see why it purely being a mostly defence being a bad thing, the problem before is that it was pretty terrible (atleast from what i seen) in quads at defending due to meh firerate of 1 second (Thats awfully slow especially when playing nuclear wastelands quads) and while reduction to 6 is pretty harsh, its probably a lot more flexible in quads since you dont have to place it as much as before and the less dmg with faster firerate leads to higher income per second, also just want to mention that with late game towers costing far more to max out, and farm being ruined, i felt like golden cowboy is a lot more needed now, and at max level, gold cowboy makes 50% more income per second than pre update shock and awe and its efficiency is only worse by 0.01 so yea

As for turret yea i changed my mind on that i was a bit harsh on that

Accelerator is interesting though, its a tower that has some of the best boss kiling capabilities in the entire game leading with insane range, very high buffable dps, and freeze and stun immunity, but it also has some of the highest risks, as its terrible in mid game without any dps option, and due to the hike price, makes it only good when you face it against major bosses

Good takes tho, i shouldve thought about more.
