Mortars
Yet to see anyone post anything about this gadget lately or talk about it but they are now virtually useless. Did I miss the update that says they are now going to land randomly around where your aim...
I agree—mortar really needs to be improved so it actually does something.
I was in a game of Breakthrough where the opposing team had well-placed snipers with overlapping coverage. Every time we tried to counter-snipe, we’d get picked off by another sniper no matter what angle we tried. You’d line up one sniper, but get killed by a different one watching the area.
I spent the rest of the match trying to dislodge them—about 10 minutes of continuous bombardment—just so our team could move up. In all that time, I only got 1–2 kills with the mortar, and none of them were the camping snipers I was actually targeting.
Mortar should be a tool to break entrenched positions, but right now it feels ineffective.
