Goo Barrels are arena carriables that create wall of Goo on impact.
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 and carry it around the arena.
The barrel explodes when:
- The barrel takes enough damage
- It contacts a solid surface after being thrown by a contestant
- It contacts a solid surface after falling from a balloon.
Once exploded, Goo will be deposited is one of two ways:
- In a spherical cluster. This only occurs when the barrel is exploded by taking damage, such as from gunfire or explosives.
- In a wall formation. This occurs when the barrel contacts a surface after being thrown.

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.
