Fortnite Explosive Goo Gun: General Tips
The one true downside of the Explosive Goo Gun is its subpar range. Its projectiles are highly susceptible to gravity, and you'll find it near impossible to aim accurately outside of close-up encounters. With that, try to close the distance on your opponents before engaging with the Explosive Goo Gun.

When you do get up close, use the Explosive Goo Gun's fire-and-forget nature to your advantage. Since it takes some time for the goo to detonate, consider pulling out another weapon to use in the time between blasts. This way, you can lay down some extra firepower on your fleeing enemies as they try to avoid the onslaught of goo.

Fortnite Explosive Goo Gun Vs. Structures
Where the Explosive Goo Gun really shines is in modes with building enabled. Building is a staple of Fortnite and is often used as a defence mechanism. When you inflict damage on an opponent, you can almost always expect them to build some walls, hide away, and attempt to heal back to full HP. Well, The Goo Gun is the ultimate counter to this very situation.
If you can pin an enemy down and force them to retreat inside their builds, there's almost no escaping the Explosive Goo Gun. The Explosive Goo Gun shreds structures apart, whether they're made of Wood, Stone, or Metal. Unload the Explosive Goo Gun on an opponent's makeshift bunker to blow them — and their structures — to bits.
