Mortar Emplacement

"Warning: you are in range of enemy artillery!"

The Mortar Emplacement is an Automaton tactical asset that constantly launches mortar shells at Helldivers within range. Incoming artillery shells can be heard by their whistling sound while airborne, along with the projectile itself glowing red and leaving a red trail behind them.

While relatively inaccurate, their large range and constant firing make them a high priority threat that should be dealt with immediately.

Tactics

 * The backside of each Mortar has a vent similar to the Cannon Tower, Annihilator tank and Anti-Air Emplacement. Shoot these vents with armor piercing weapons or explosives to destroy them.
 * Orbital Strikes and Airstrikes can be used to destroy them from a safe distance.
