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. Refer to: How to Counter Goo
Goo can be used to block the line of sight of turrets, effectively disabling them. Refer to: How to Deal with Turrets
Blobs of Goo can displace Cashout Stations upon expansion.
It has a maximum capacity of 14 Goo blobs before it needs to be reloaded.
Goo cannot be built up indefinitely, and past a certain point will break off of surfaces under it's own weight.

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.
