Ball

The “Ball” was an unnamed class which was secretly added on 13 January 2017 and removed the same day. Its reasons for addition are unknown, due to its odd design and the fact that it was only accessoble in Sandbox. But unlike the Mounted Turret, you cannot control other player’s Auto Turrets during the update, suggesting that this is not the Mounted Turret.

Design
The only way to access the “Ball” while it was in-game was to press / once in Sandbox mode; no other way to access it was discovered and it did not appear in the Class Tree. Its Tier is also not certain.

The “Ball” was just that; a circle with no Barrels, Spawners or any type of offensive Weapons. It had the same stats as a normal tank, however all bullet stats had no known effect. It had the same HP and movement speed as a Basic Tank.

Trivia

 * Many people quickly alluded to the “Ball” somehow being related to the quickly-reverted controllable auto turret update, as when occupied turrets died the tank would be shown as “Mounted Turret” and the tank model would simply be a circle, just like the “Ball” appeared on the deathscreen. However the “Ball” has never officially been named.
 * However, no other connections to this have been found and it was speculated that the “Ball” was possibly the result of a corrupted update or Tank code accidentally being applied to a bullet entity.
 * Some individuals think the Developer introduced it as a joke tank to test out peoples reactions.
 * This could also be a glitch while Zeach, the developer, was testing things out.
 * You can still press H and a message will be issued, saying, “Someone has already taken that tank” which could indicate that.

History

 * The “Ball” was added on the 13th of January, 2017, and secretly removed the same day, about 8 hours later.
