Once you've collected the necessary materials, head over to a Fabricator to craft the Goo Gun. After crafting, there are a few important details about its abilities and usage that you should know, which we'll explore below.

Goo Gun Uses In Aberration

At its core, the Goo Gun is described as a weapon that "uses harvested carcasses to create corrosive or bouncy balls of goo," and that description is spot on. The weapon features two firing modes—Bouncy and Corrosive—each with distinct effects.

Goo Gun Abilities: Bouncy Mode

In Bouncy Mode, the Goo Gun charges a goo ball at the end of the barrel. When fired, the ball makes contact with anything in front of it, exploding and sending you flying in the opposite direction. This effect works whether you hit an enemy or fire at the ground, launching you into the air.

You can also fire consecutive bouncy shots while airborne, allowing you to stay aloft by timing shots as you land from a previous one. Alternatively, you can survive heavy falls by firing a goo ball just before hitting the ground to slow your descent.

Goo Gun Abilities: Corrosive Mode

In Corrosive Mode, the Goo Gun can be charged to release a large ball of corrosive Goo that sticks to enemies and explodes after a short delay, inflicting significant bleed damage. You can also fire the weapon automatically, pelting enemies with corrosive goo balls that burst on impact, causing minor damage but stacking the bleed effect over time.

Like all weapons in the game, the Goo Gun is subject to Item Quality. If you manage to acquire an Ascendant-level version, the weapon's power will increase significantly. Even at lower levels, it can still be a valuable ranged weapon for taking out smaller targets or applying bleed damage to larger creatures from a safe distance.

Reloading the Goo Gun

To reload the Goo Gun, you'll need to harvest the bodies of fallen creatures, as the description suggests. Smaller creatures can be harvested for Goo, though they provide less than larger ones. This mechanic makes it relatively easy to maintain ammo as you explore.

Overall, the Goo Gun is a versatile and effective weapon for tackling enemies in Aberration. Now that you know how it works and how best to use it, you're ready to take full advantage of its unique abilities in battle!
