The Mortar is a stationary defense mechanism which launches artillery shells at any enemy pawns which enter its firing range. When manned, it will target any Raiders, Mechanoids, and Psychotic Animals which enter within a 500-square radius around the mortar. It will not fire at enemies within 30 squares. The Mortar is a 1-round artillery weapon with a moderate warm-up time and very lengthy reload. When a Mortar is severely damaged, it will explode.

Building

• Metal required to build: 250

Notes

• There is no way to increase mortar accuracy; Reliable shelling is very expensive and requires multiple manned mortars
• Do not forget to unassign pawns from mortars, or they will become exhausted, starve, and potentially go crazy.
