Goop

Goop is an ability for the Chomper in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare in which the Chomper spits out purple goo and when direct impact is hit with an enemy zombie, the zombie will be slowed down and unable to use its abilities. Doing this makes it easy for the Chomper to get behind or burrow under whatever zombies that were hit and swallow them whole. It can be also used by Goop-shrooms. Goop takes 5 seconds to recharge.

Description
''Hitting targets with the Chomper's ranged Goop attack is a great way to slow them down, making them easier to chomp. They taste better too!''

Goop strategies
Being able to use this ability to slow down zombies, it is recommended to slow down strong zombies, like the Engineer. If playing as a Chomper in the Garden Ops mode, it can be useful to use against Boss Zombies, such as the Disco Zombie. Goop has infinite range, making it useful for attacking a zombie that is far away, so that other plants can vanquish the gooped zombie. Goop can also be useful for killing Rocket Drones or Zombot Drones, as you can deal damage to them.

Against Goop
Goop is extremely dangerous if you're a zombie, so be careful near Chompers. Foot Soldiers can use Rocket Jump to escape the goop, and it also gets rid of it, so it is useful. Engineer's Sonic Grenade is optional to stun plants too.

Trivia

 * What it does is a reference to how goop is sticky.
 * In beta footage of the game, the Goop's icon originally had a purple background like its respective ability color but for unknown reasons it was changed to orangish-tan.
