Debuting in Chapter 3: Season 4, the Explosive Goo Gun is a new weapon in Fornite capable of firing a thick stream of sticky goop onto a target or the surface of a structure. After a brief delay, the slime will detonate, dealing explosive damage to whatever the goo was clinging to. The Explosive Goo Gun’s slimy projectile is affected by gravity, causing it to lack in range. However, it can be effective when battling enemies in an enclosed space with less cover and at a close range. Continue reading to learn how to find the new Explosive Goo Gun in Fortnite.
Finding the Explosive Goo Gun in Fortnite
The new Explosive Goo Gun in Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 4 can be found as Floor Loot or loot acquired randomly from Chests. It can also appear in the items obtained from Supply Drops. Since all of these sources are RNG-dependent in both location and loot offerings, Explosive Goo Guns have a chance to spawn anywhere on the island map.

According to GamesRadar, the spawn rate for the Explosive Goo Gun will be increased until October 12, 2022, giving players an extended opportunity to find it on the Fortnite map. Therefore, it is relatively likely that combatants will encounter this new gun if they visit enough unlooted spots during a match. After finding one, there are several things that players should note before attempting to use it in combat. First, the Explosive Goo Gun only has an ammo capacity of 200, with the magazine holding only 20 at a time. This weapon’s ammo is unique, meaning it cannot be replenished and must be thrown away or replaced at the 0/200 mark.
Next, the Explosive Goo Gun is more effective against structures in Fortnite than player targets. As mentioned above, this weapon can be viable in close-quarters combat but is outclassed by strong melee weapons or shotguns. Therefore, it is much better to use this gun to tear down structures, removing the protective cover of enemy players. It can be especially effective to quickly explode the base foundation of a constructed platform that an opponent is using to escape or gain an advantage, causing them to fall back to the ground.
Fortnite is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
