Epic Games is adding a brand new hamster ball vehicle called The Baller to Fortnite soon. Epic has yet to announce it officially but the news has been spilled by the in-game News section where The Baller is clearly mentioned and it is marked as ‘Coming Soon’.
The Jurassic World inspired hamster ball vehicles coming to Fortnite will come equipped with a grappling hook and it might also require charging for either moving around or firing its grappling hook. With the release of the new season, Epic had removed the X4-Stormwing and they needed a new vehicle to take its place.
It seems like The Baller is going to be the new replacement and players will be able to move around in them spinning and rolling. From the picture, it appears to have a single seat giving out the impression that only one player can sit inside and it is also equipped with a grappler which might be used to move it around or climb high places which might be normally unavailable with the normal roll.
If you head out to the Expedition outposts in the game, you will find some strange round shaped devices laying around which appear to be docking locations for these Ballers. Earlier, a Fortnite dataminer lucas7yoshi leaked that The Baller might require charging for its shields or the grappler and this dicking locations look like the chargers.

These could be wrong and these might only be the spawn location for the Ballers. We will have to wait for an official announcement from Epic Games on this. Chances are Ballers will arrive in this week’s content update because the items which appear in the news feed appear very soon in the game.
