Goo Barrels are Carriable Objects that are placed around the arena grounds. Contestants can trigger them to create Goo which provides a cover.

Overview

Like any barrel, Goo Barrels are placed at random locations picked from a large set of fixed barrel locations specific to the arena. It is possible for no barrels to be present in a round. They can also be obtained from Balloons. Contestants can pick up the barrel to carry it around the arena or throw it somewhere.

Stats

Effects

The barrel creates Goo upon being triggered, either from recieving enough damage for barrel to be destroyed or if it was thrown against something.

Goo from the barrel can be deposited in one of two ways.

• In a spherical cluster, after barrel destroyed by damage.
• In a wall formation, after contacting a surface after being trown or falling out of the Balloon.

Goo barrel in many ways is a weaker version of the Goo Grenade.

Properties

Canister

Destructible — Immediately destroyed upon receiving any damage, resulting a spherical formation of Goo to appear.

Damaging — Hitting an ememy contestant directly with the barrel deals 50 damage.

Trigger on Impact — Can fly for any amount of time and triggers when the projectile collides with a surface or contestant. For the Goo Barrel, this happens at the first impact, unless it was dropped by a contestant holding it.

Reshapeable — Can be reshaped by the Data Reshaper into a different Arena Carriable by contestants.

Not Interceptible — Cannot be removed by the APS Turret.

No Bounce — Creates wall of Goo immidiately upon hitting anything (except after being dropped by a contestant).

Goo

Attached — Attaches to a surface upon deployment. Sticks to the surface even if it moves. Weighs down any Carriable Object it is attached to.

Solid — Has its own collision, meaning it blocks bullets and contestants can stand on it.

Destructible — Can be destroyed if its health is fully depleted, such as through hits from bullets or explosions. Teammates can also destroy it.

Usable by Opponents — Can be used by opponents to their advantage.

Not Reshapeable — Cannot be reshaped by the Data Reshaper.

Not Permanent — Disappears by itself after enough time has passed.

Strategy

• The Goo Barrel can be used to make quick fortifications to a cashout station, provided there are available barrels nearby.
  • The 'wall' formation that the Goo Barrel produces is perfect for blocking off narrow doorways and hallways.
• It can also be used to create cover at a moment's notice, especially if trying to escape a sticky situation.
• Dropping a canister, instead of throwing, from any hight won't deal any damage to the barrel, thus will prevent it from going off.
• After exploding the Balloon with Goo Barrels, if contestant want to use them later, they have to catch canisters before they hit the ground. Otherwise they will trigger upon landing from high enough distance.
