When in range, the mortar launcher shoots a ball of fire onto assaulting infantry. When it makes contact, the fireball bursts into flame and causes a small amount of splash damage.

==Trivia==
*Much like how the [[Base Turret|Base Turret's]] M202 XP Machine Gun may be detached at will, the Flame Mortar most likely can act as a stand-alone weapon emplacement or be attached to other vehicles.
