The Mortar, also known as the Mortar Cannon, is a weapon used by the HECU and the Black Ops during the Black Mesa Incident.

Overview

The main console controls are located inside a military crate for storage and transport. It is operated with three buttons: one for the deflection, one for the elevation, and one in the middle for firing. These buttons must be operated with the movement keys.

Appearances

In the Half-Life chapter "We've Got Hostiles", Gordon Freeman reaches the surface, and finds out the area is under the military control and in the middle of a mortar bombardment, forcing him to retreat back into the complex.

In the Opposing Force chapter "The Package", there is a mortar operated by a Black Op assassin on top of a building. Adrian Shephard uses this mortar to blow open the entrance of the Ordinance Storage Facility.

The Mortar can also be used in the Capture The Flag multiplayer map Mortar by both teams.
