What the hell is up with the bio gun and its out of range hit box? i can't even seem to jump over it from what might seem possible.

It's seems that even a noob can use this gun and kill a pro. why the hell does this gun even exist.

Well .. that's kinda like the point of sticking bio goop on the ground... blocking off a path. If you could just hop over it only a complete retard would run into it. Besides, you can walldodge over it perfectly.

My only complain about this weapon is it being too much powerful for 1vs1 matches.

On the other hand, it is finally useful.

I usually just switch to the enforcer and put a round into the bio glob to make it go away if it's in my path. I love the weapon now, it's finally useful, like Erosion says.

I found it really useful in UT 2004 too. :p
Wouldn't stop players calling me a n00b every time I killed them with it though :/
I had the UT 2004 bio arc sussed pretty well. Fully loaded bio kills were so much fun. :)

The thing is even a newbie to the online gaming scene can use this and still kill someone, even when they've been playing the game a lot longer.

Why would you play a game to get better at it just to get shot down by some newbie

Well than I think that the person that got killed needs a bit more practice:
Obviously, they were way too close to someone with a fully charged goopgun in hand if a total newb could stick them. Especially if those are players new to online gaming, they shouldn't be too hard to stay at a distance from...

Of course there are exceptions, like meeting someone right around a corner or in a tight corridor with nowhere to go, but every weapon has advantages like that. Like the flak cannon, or meeting someone at long range in an open field with the sniper rifle, or having the higher ground with a rocket launcher, or the link gun lockdown, or being pinned by stinger secondary, etc etc etc...

It's just the fact that's wayyyy easier to die in UT3. No matter which weapon you die from.

Has someone found the primary fire still useful here anyway? I can only hit vehicles with that. Secondary fire FTW.

Well then the problem isn't really that the bio gun is too strong, it's that you treat every weapon like the impact hammer;)

J/K though, but seriously .. the goopgun is slow and has an arc. It's hard to land a hit when someone's far away, because you have to predict carefully, and people can see it coming from miles away(also, they can destroy the blob by shooting at in in mid-air). If you are too close it's easy to be killed by it, so instead when you see someone carrying it, you should switch to stinger, sniper or shock, and take them out from more distance. If you are unable to do that, you can hardly blame the goopgun for that...

I love the new goop gun even though the primary fire lacks a punch, I can hardly get any kills with it. The alt fire is devastating and shouldn't be changed at all. (I love gooping enemies that wear the shield)

Just use walldodges to jump over them and shoot at the blob when it's fired at you.
