Goonhub
Simple as the title.
Infinite ammo, fires very fast, can easily kill crew even with armor because it shreds organs, if installed in a tanky pod like Security or mining, can easily kill anyone that comes near it. Turns out the Pod Launcher from the Armory can blow itself up if its next to the pod its targeting, so that's an easy enough way to deal with it.
The range is massive on its pellets, that also go THROUGH walls and glass. I saw a shotgun pod pellets go from the escape on Kondaru all the way to the barber shop through the walls.
If they decide to take out all the other pods first, then you're out of luck on dealing with pellets that can penetrate into the middle of the station. from the outside walls, that also can crit you without armor on from a single pellet hit. Worth mentioning that the pod launcher can blow itself up, so one of the few tools that is designed to kill pods can also remove itself from existence before dealing with the pod.
Pod combat isn't the most fun thing to deal with on Goon, it's often one sided and extremely tedious as specialized pod parts - grenade launcher, shotgun, whatever else - tend to obliterate crew while phasers feel like they're in an okay spot, though I haven't seen someone use the higher end phasers in a while.
