Functionality
Functionality[]
The Baller seats one player, who acts as the driver of the vehicle. The Baller can move in any direction, and will spin on an axis when the player moves the camera around. The Baller has two methods of propulsion: A Boost and a Grappler.
The Boost allows players to move forward at great speeds for a small amount of time. This boost can destroy structures.
The Grappler acts as a tether, allowing the ball to swing around a location. This can be used to gain enough momentum to launch the Baller into the air, and swing between structures. This grapple has infinite uses.
As the baller is damaged, it becomes cracked and will eventually shatter. This allows players to hurt the driver of a baller. Once the vehicle takes enough damage it will break and will only hurt a player if it breaks high into the air, due to fall damage.
