The Heavy Mortar came about through a complete re-engineering of its smaller predecessor allowing it to launch plasma projectiles. The increased size of the weapon as well as the heavier projectiles generates a series of overloads during use leading to the complete destruction of the Heavy Mortar after a number of uses. The Heavy Mortar is the first of the anti-building weapons to be developed and as such it is best suited to attacking the more lightly armoured buildings.

A single shot can damage only one level of the building, the rest of the firepower will be dissipated.
