So yeah I'm just into Act 2 now and I thought I would give the mortar a go. All i can seem to do is get it to fire orange/yellow smoke! How do I get it to fire actual rounds, so far I tried right clicking to set it up and then moving mouse to set range and left clicking to fire. Is there something I am missing?

After you fire the orange smoke to get your target in range use the "Reload" key to switch to the red (live) mortar.

You can actually just hit the reload key once you set up the mortar and fire the live round without smoke as well.

Ah excellent, thanks for your help.

Thought I'd bump this just to add that the mortars are hella hard to use. My rounds always go waaay to far. And when you get your sights right you either run out of shells or you get mauled.

I was wondering why my mortars never exploded. Thanks for bringing this topic back. I think instead of the MGL, the Rebel class should have the mortar on multiplayer.

You're invincible when you spawn...

People spawn kill anyway, or at least try, especially with the AR and the SAW. The mortar would at least take skill to use. Since most people don't stand still until their invincibility is gone, they'd have a fair chance to kill a mortar player before they could aim the shot properly. And the invincibility lasts too long anyway.
