Constructor Balls, also called Universal Constructor Spheres or better known simply as C-Balls, are a gameplay mechanic in Deadlink.
Overview[]
In game, they appear as floating orbs that, when struck with either a melee attack or other skills, will cause it to drop secondary ammo. One can also use the Gripwire Rappel on these to move around the area, but keep in mind this will also break the C-Ball.

Femto's pride and joy, Universal Constructor Spheres are compact atom printers that produce ephemeral objects. Stolen office supplies? Print new ones. Need tubes for the lab? Femto's got you.
Whilst successful and well designed, with a friendly UI and programming interface, the yuppies didn't think too hard about nameschemes. The devices dubbed Constructor Balls are known colloquially as... "C-Balls".
Many hackers have cracked them, lifting EULA imposed limits. However, only elites can produce more than suicide specials. CSA technicians wrote a virus allowing spheres to print ammunition, enabling Combat Shells a constant supply.
