The HoverBoard is just what it sounds like: a snowboard-like object which players can use at any time in vehicle gametypes. It can grapple on to other vehicles, move faster than a player, and run people over, but players are not allowed to use weapons while riding it. However, flag carriers in CTF can ride the hoverboard.

Information

Each player will have use of a Hoverboard, added as a way to keep people in the action at all times.

It's not something you want to use in combat, because you don't have a weapon when you're on it. And if you get shot while you're on it you're going to tumble and become an easy target. You can also grapple onto the backs of other vehicles and get a ride. Steve also mentioned that they used to it solve the problem of when someone takes off in a hellbender without you, you can quickly grapple onto and tow yourself into the vehicle while it's moving.
