Description[ | ]

The Mortar is a large grenade launcher that fires arcing projectiles. These explode when: detonated by the zoom button (right mouse by default); after 5 seconds pass; or when coming into contact with an enemy.

Multiple grenades can explode at once when manually detonated, allowing the player to set huge, short-lived traps of stacked damage against incoming enemies. Combined with the indirect fire characteristic of bouncing grenades from solid surfaces, the Mortar can be utilized to destroy groups of unaware enemies before they are confronted.

Grenade projectile speeds are based on the player's momentum – moving faster will add to the speed of the projectile when shot forward and will lose speed when moving backwards. Grenades can be used to boost the player slightly, using grenade jumps.

Each grenade deals a maximum of 300 damage at the center of the explosion. Unlike the riveter, grenades do not deal ballistic damage on a direct hit. The Mortar can hold up to 50 grenades.

Big John and Jakob both fire bursts of mortar grenades. They are never manually detonated.
