Details

The most aggresive tool in your arsenal of explosives! The Ballhog lobs up to seven bombs in an overhead airstrike—one by one in precise shots, or all at once in a shotgun-blast!

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • Firing all seven shots can force players to swerve away, but a single tap can catch players by surprise.
  • Like all lobbed items, your speed affects the speed of your shots. Remember to take the flight-time of the bombs into account!
  • If you hold all your remaining shots for too long, you’ll blast forward in a harmless tumble. Use Directional Influence to direct yourself when landing! (See “Advanced Techniques”.)
  • If a Ballhog’s reticle is on top of you, you’re not usually in danger. If it’s in front of you, start planning.
  • A quick E-Brake almost always dodges a Ballhog shot; preload some Rings to quickly make your speed back.
  • If you sneak in at close range or trail behind, a Ballhog user is defenseless. Go for a hit of your own!
