Overview
The Goo Grenade is a thrown gadget which detonates on impact, rapidly deploying Goo.
Uses & Interactions
Goo is an extremely versatile equipment item that provides a lot of very unique utility for positioning and creating cover. As with all Goo, it can be rapidly destroyed with fire. Refer to: How to Counter Goo & How to Deal with Turrets.
It can be used to make quick barriers that block oncoming fire in a pinch, making it useful for a retreat to cut off line-of-sight between the user and other contestants. It also counters the Guardian Turret by blocking its line-of-sight. The user can also place it down pre-emptively to create cover to retreat behind.
Walls of Goo can also influence enemy movement by blocking chokepoints like doorways, tight corridors, tunnels, stairwells, ziplines and more.
One notable thing about Goo Grenades is how they deploy on walls. When a Goo Grenade is placed on the ground it deploys perpendicular to the direction the thrower is facing, but when thrown on walls it creates a wall that is perpendicular to the surface it was deployed on.
This property allows for limitless potential in new movement opportunities. If there is a gap between two buildings the user can't clear, Goo can be used on the target building's wall to create a bridge between them.
If the user is falling off of highground, they can throw Goo at their feet towards the nearest wall and the Goo will catch them, giving them the opportunity to use a movement ability to return to the fight.
If a ledge is too high to climb, the user can throw Goo on the wall and use the makeshift platform to climb up. The user can also use Goo to peek unexpected angles by making a Goo platform beneath a window, catching opponents through the window off guard.
