Mortar Emplacement

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

The Mortar Emplacement is an Automaton tactical asset that constantly launches artillery shells at Helldivers within range, the artillery shells can be heard through a whistling sound along with Mission Control yelling in your ear about being near the Mortar Emplacement.

Due to their large range and constant danger Mortar Emplacements are a high priority threat that should be dealt with immediately.

Tactics

 * Make your way inside the base and take out the Automaton Fabricator to stop the constant flow of Troopers and any other Automaton.
 * 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 throw impact grenades to destroy them.
 * The AC-8 Autocannon can destroy mortars with 4 shots to the vents.
 * Orbital Strikes and Airstrikes can also be used to destroy them from a safe distance.
