Goobo Jr. on Railgunner

[Bellatrix]

Generally Goobo is considered a very weak piece of equipment, because although the clone has a 70% health and damage bonus, it has no items.
But Railgunner still has some serious lethality even without items. A Railgunner clone can potentially get off two supercharge shots in its lifespan with a 70% damage bonus on each, plus it can act as a distraction and fire weaker shots between the supercharge shots.
So is Goobo actually a really great item on Railgunner? I could certainly see the value in it with a few fuel cells, since all the supercharge shots going off would be excellent for crowd control or boss killing.

I imagine they're also good for inflicting debuffs and freeze.
Mercenary probably wouldn't be too good because it'll steal your expose procs.
But I can see Gummy Acrid being alright. Since he'll have higher base damage, he'll have a higher damage floor and cap on poison.
Gummy Artificer and Gummy Railgunner can help freeze things.

But yeah. As for the survivors that rely on their high proc rates... Yeah, complete garbage on them.

use goobo with fuel cells/gestures on engineer for infinite shield uptime ( without needing hardlight ) and 6 extra turrets.

I've genuinely never seen goo engineer use his turrets. Can he even do it?
He usually just sits there in a bubble firing grenades in random directions.

He can, I've done it and he normally uses them immediately for me

There is no guarantee the clones will be efficient at what they do, but overall it's still way better than The Back Up.

They definitely do. I love building up a bunch of Fuel Cells with it on Engi and spamming triple gummy clones. 6 gummy turrets is hilarious.

Well, Goobo Jr. just got a huge buff. Just went from 170% of the player's health and damage to 300%.
That means that if a Goobo Jr. railgunner lands a supercharged shot, it's going to be hitting for 12,000% base damage. 24,000% if it hits a weakpoint.
I don't know how consistently a clone will fire supercharged shots or hit weakpoints, but the idea of spitting out a clone that might hit something for 24,000% damage is hilarious.
