Block N Load's Latest Hero Is A Literal Hamster

Jagex announced today that their free-to-play block FPS, Block N Load, has received a new hero. The new hero, who goes by the name "Roly Poly Fat Fat," is a "Texan war hamster" in a "fully-weaponized ball." She is able to use her cannons to make "accurate, long-range attacks" with "explosive shells for maximum splash damage." She can also use her ball to dash around the map, as well as "vent" a "short-lived cloud of toxic fumes" as a counter to close-range attacks.

A rebalancing of the Perks system has been introduced alongside Roly Poly. Each tier of a particular Perk now has a "flat negative." This change was made in order to reward players for continuing down a single line of Perks, rather than spreading their points over multiple Perks.
