Description[]
A roller is a four-wheeled motorized vehicle similar to a dune buggy. They are a common means of transportation in the year 2046, often utilized by raiders and scavengers. These vehicles come in various shapes and sizes and usually include extensive armored plating, and sometimes weaponry. Rollers are particularly useful when traversing the rough terrain of the Badlands in old Missouri.
