A player has showcased the best way to use the Goo Gun in The Finals. While the Goo Gun might not be ranked among the best weapons in The Finals in terms of damage dealt, this player makes a solid case for its inclusion considering its unique functionality.

Shortly after The Finals was shadow dropped at The Game Awards 2023, it managed to cement itself among the best-ranked multiplayer games currently available. It was already a massive hit during its open-beta phase, where the developers had to put a login queue just to manage the number of players wanting to experience the game. Created by ex-DICE developers, The Finals offers a competitive-shooter experience unlike any other title, with its unique mechanics, gunplay, and fast-paced combat. The weapons available in the game are also pretty interesting, which players can customize to suit their play style. One such weapon is the Goo Gun, which can be used in a rather unique way to secure a win, according to a player.

In a post on The Finals subreddit, user Scared-Tangelo-1717 shared a clip of them using the Goo Gun to block the entrance to a cashout location to win the round. The Goo Gun is available as a specialization for the Heavy build in The Finals, which can be used to create blockades, or make platforms to vault certain areas. In the clip, the player barricades themselves inside a cashout location by firing mounds of Goo at the entrance. The enemies tried their best to breach it by using weapons, grenades and abilities, but the player was still able to complete the objective and win the match.

Aside from this, The Goo Gun has an additional use case where it can also temporarily immobilize enemies stuck with Goo, which can be frustrating for opponents. However, the Goo can be easily destroyed by using the Flamethrower or using incendiary abilities, as it is highly susceptible to fire. Nevertheless, if used correctly, the Goo Gun specialization can be ranked among the best Heavy Builds in The Finals.

Right now, The Finals is a smash hit in the community as it recently hit 10 million players just 15 days after its full release. Additionally, it has also outperformed established titles like Call of Duty on Steam, and has also found success on Xbox. However, like many other multiplayer titles, cheaters are ruining The Finals’ ranked mode. The community has also pointed out certain issues with the game’s aim assist on controller, which is another thing for the developers to look at if they are to keep the momentum going.
