“Shoots blobs of goo that solidify on impact; useful for creating defenses”

Overview

The Goo Gun is a specialization for the Heavy Build that enables powerful environmental manipulation. Activating the ability will equip the Goo Gun, allowing the user to shoot blobs of Goo.

Interactions

• Once the shot Goo blob touches a surface, it sticks to it and expands rapidly and solidifies.
• Blobs of Goo block all projectiles and bullets, and therefore are commonly used as cover.
• Fire quickly destroys Goo, and spreads to adjacent Goo clusters.
• Goo can be used to block the line of sight of turrets, effectively disabling them.
• Blobs of Goo can displace Cashout Stations upon expansion.
• It has a maximum capacity of 14 Goo blobs before it needs to be reloaded.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• The Goo Gun is a powerful tool for objective control. Creating cover for a team can be a key element of an effective defense, and can force opponents to think on their feet. When on the offence, disabling turrets could make the difference between a team wipe and a game-winning Cashout steal.
• Using the Goo Gun leaves the user unable to use a normal weapon while it is equipped. Goo is countered by Fire, which will quickly destroy it and may leave the team exposed to attack.
