Item · debuts Book 4, Chapter 13 — “Blue Balls”
Live Ammo Ball
Gnome ranged weapon · a creature in a clamshell
The Dirigible Gnomes’ versatile ranged munition: a fist-sized stasis clamshell holding a living, furious creature, fired by a Tickle Stick, lobbed like a grenade, or sprayed in clusters from anti-air point-defense batteries. The stasis keeps the creature unhurt until impact pops the ball open. The Wasteland’s every ball holds a single Level 11 Frenzied Gerbil, and after the dreadnaught breaks apart, hundreds of survived balls release and the gerbils regroup into a swarm that floods Hump Town (see the Gerbil Acceleration).
Book 4 appearances
- Chapter 12 — Crixus and the snipers hurl and fire them at the Vahana during the hijack.
