The Mortar was a powerful support weapon developed by the Coalition of Ordered Governments to provide team-level burn support. Like all mortars, it was a long-ranged, indirect-firing weapon intended to deal with troops in cover, go on foes pinned down, and deal with large clusters of enemies at once. Dissimilar modern mortars, however, the Gears of War Mortar operates with a few unique features.

Overview [ ]

The Mortar fires a single, long-ranged crush, equipped with an SFFS (Self-Forging Fragmenting Submunition) arrangement. Upon apogee, the Mortar scatters a series of explosive bomblets that proceed to rain down forth the Mortar'south firing line. The end consequence is a blanket of destruction, covering a huge range. The effect this weapon has on enemy morale is dramatic; enemies will flee for cover rather than exist caught in the blast radius (and if they don't, they are likely to exist killed outright if not seriously wounded). Even better, as an indirect-burn weapon, the Mortar can be safely fired from a relatively secure position. In times of emergency, it can also be fired directly, as a conventional projectile weapon, though if fired this style the shell is rather inaccurate, does not scatter, and rarely kills. The explosion knocks people, including the user, downward instead, like to the effects of a smoke grenade. The Mortar in deployed mode has a maximum range of 150 meters.

The Mortar's sheer firepower is beyond reproach: the Imulsion-fueled bomblets it drops are capable of causing critical harm to even heavier units, such as Reavers and Brumaks. Unfortunately, the weapon is both tricky to aim and extremely loud and obvious: the firing of a mortar is a dead give-away to all in the area, and a Mortar operator immediately becomes a priority target. Secondly, the weapon is functionally useless if an object (such every bit a building or other structure) is in the style of the Mortar shell's trajectory: the shell will striking the construction and scatter into smaller bombs before falling back down at the user, usually killing them. However, a skillful thespian tin judge the tiptop of the roof, and burn it at its maximum forwards angle. This will propel the crush up, bounce off the roof, and break into fragments forward, leaving destruction in its wake. It is very useful in Horde fashion, where you tin can clear a whole cluster of Locust with a unmarried shot.

Though designed and built by the COG, the Mortar, like many weapons developed and used past the COG, is used by the Locust Horde as well. The Locust frequently salvage the weapon and when they practise, they make utilise of it whenever and wherever they tin. Drones are particularly fond of information technology, but occasionally Snipers can be seen using them as well.

Multiplayer Use [ ]

The Mortar is an extremely useful weapon that tin turn the tide of a battle. You lot can operate the Mortar the aforementioned as the Mulcher, taking cover or using it as you walk, although your actions are severely express. For case, you lot can't run as fast, y'all slide into cover slower, and yous can't make evasive maneuvers. The merchandise-off is a massive corporeality of firepower. A good tactic to utilize with the Mortar is to bombard the cardinal battleground where most of the gainsay takes identify, such as in Jacinto near the span where the weapon is found, as this is where nigh of the fighting occurs in this map. Y'all should warn your teammates before doing this as they could be defenseless in the blast.

The Mortar is likewise especially useful on Horde mode, especially if the user tin conceptualize and place when and where the enemy spawns from. Arguably the easiest map for Mortar users to exercise this on is River, as the view from the bridge where the Mortar spawns offers an excellent view of most enemy spawn positions. It is too ameliorate to predict and aim where your enemies are going than but only aiming at their spot as they are going to move. Information technology is dangerous in Pavilion because if a thespian is skilled enough and shoots at 50 m from the benches outside the house, at to the lowest degree one-2 shells may get inside the grenade firm and gear up off frags or impale enemies that are at the opening of the business firm.

The Mortar, just like any other mortar, tin can exist used both from and against cover. Since the Mortar fires upward at that place is no need to lean out of cover - in fact, the person using the Mortar simply changes opinion when deploying the Mortar and does non change positions. This tin be useful if at that place are enemies, particularly snipers, who are willing to shoot you a split-2nd after you lean out. Places without a roof are vulnerable to the shells, and the shells have a big nail radius and are ordinarily an instant impale. The only cover that volition keep you safe from a Mortar is a identify with a roof, and even so, y'all are still vulnerable to splash damage if you go caught in the blast radius.

Mortar Operation [ ]

The Mortar can exist operated ii ways. The first is only like the Mulcher: you can slide into cover with it and fire direct at your enemy. The second and more than effective way is to mount it to the ground. As you lot press the burn button, your onscreen grapheme cranks it up. The distance the crush will fire is displayed in meters on your HUD. For this reason, it can exist hard to aim, which can effect in a lot of trial shots earlier any success can be achieved. Exist careful when using the second method, as you lot will exist left vulnerable to assail. Counter this by having a teammate guard you as you operate the Mortar. It can likewise be blindfired, like the other weapons. However, the mortar will not sheet through the air, but travel forth the ground. Information technology will somewhen stop and explode.

It is too possible to unpack the Mortar and burn it while under whatsoever kind of ceiling. The result is a pelting of shrapnel right on your position, almost instantly after fire. The downside is the high suicide possibility, but it can be countered by dropping the mortar and rolling backwards directly after firing. This is a proficient strategy when being rushed past the enemy team.

Backside the scenes [ ]

• On December 30, 2009, Epic Games changed the Mortar so that it has 7 Mortar Shells as a default. This was also mentioned on the chief lobby of the game in which information technology says On the seventh solar day of Gearsmas Epic gave to me, 7 mortar shells.
• Based on new multiplayer footage, the mortar now has an execution move not unlike the boom shield, in which the graphic symbol swings the weapon up, over, and downward on to the downed enemies head, severing it from their torso and instantly killing them. Brain thing volition be seen dripping from the weapon as well.
