Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 impressed right out of the gate with its wild map changes and interesting new mechanics, but Epic has been hard at work to make things even more engaging with each update since.

The Goo Gun comes in only one rarity (Rare) and can be found on the ground and inside chests. It doesn't use any type of conventional ammo, instead coming equipped with a finite amount of goo shots that can be fired at foes.
