The Golden Scout is a single targeting ground tower that was initially exclusive and given to a select group of players, then shortly later, awarded as a grand prize for winning tournaments in the Tower Battles Community Discord server prior to August of 2019.
As of the 10th of August 2019, the Golden Scout requires 150 to unlock and purchasable for
3,500 with a placement cost of $690.
Overview[]
The Golden Scout does considerably more damage than the Scout at a much higher price. It deals 4 damage per shot every 1.23 seconds, resulting in 3.25 damage per second at level 1. At levels 3 and 5, damage increases drastically, allowing the Golden Scout to be versatile for both early and late-game defense.
At level 4, the Golden Scout passively provides Hidden detection support to all affected towers within its range identically to the level 3 Aviator; however, this upgrade alone comes at a hefty price of $2,800 which may not be easily affordable to counter Hiddens during early-game defense. Upon being placed, the Golden Scout will play a high pitched screech.
