“A firearm that dispenses destructible globs of Goo”
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.
