Strategy

Rapid Reload is generally not used by itself, and is instead relegated to being a stepping stone to its succeeding upgrades or a crosspath. For lower-tiers, it's effective on Race Events for early-game Mortar. As a crosspath, it is optimal with Signal Flare, as the reliability coming from Rapid Reload's extra attack speed is key to Signal Flare. With other top and bottom path Mortars, Rapid Reload is generally recommended as a crosspath on maps with multiple simultaneous entrances and on very short maps, where reliability becomes more important, but less recommended for other maps.

- "Mortars should no longer display line of sight as they can ignore all blockers"
- "The mortar’s projectiles should no longer visually drop back down the barrel"
| “ | Mortar’s Faster Reload feels like a ‘required’ as a crosspath with Burny Stuff never scaling well on any path but it’s own. We like choices not requirements so to counter this we have made Burny Stuff scale with top-path damage & shifted a small amount of the speed from Faster Reload onto the base mortar and reduced base accuracy considerably. — Update notes |

Attack cooldown modifier reduced ― ×0.7 → ×0.72
- Overall attack cooldown increased ― 1.078s → 1.08s (attack speed reduced by 0.19% due to changes to the attack cooldown of previous tiers)
- Random spread radius increased ― 18 → 30
- Note: Random spread with X-X-1 Increased Accuracy is unchanged (8)
| “ | We felt like we set up the math quite well with Mortar changes last update, but regardless of this missed shots due to inaccuracy vs. attack speed turned out to be unpopular and impacted the middle path too severely. Fortunately this change led to the community finding some critical bugs in the middle path upgrades there since Mortar’s release! That said, since low tier Mortars were never powerful we chose to leave the speed buff from last update but revert the accuracy nerf. — Update notes |
” |
Base accuracy increased ― 30 → 18
| “ | We’re looking to shakeup mortar in a couple small ways this update, along with Striker Jones changes noted further on for ‘multi-mortaring’ synergy. From the base level Mortar has far more pierce than should ever be necessary at low rounds but doesn’t hit beefy enough for the low fire rate, so we are trading up some base pierce for damage, instead moving this lost pierce up into crosspath. — Update notes |

- Explosion: Damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Explosion: Pierce reduced ― 40 → 25
- Note: Bigger Blast and its subsequent upgrades unchanged
- Overall cost reduced by $150 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
