Rust Mortar, Unpacking Everything: Performance, Usage, and Strategy Fully AnalyzedLearn all about the newly added mortar in Rust. This video provides a detailed analysis of the mortar, covering its crafting cost, performance in actual PVP, comparison with rockets, and strategies for using it in various terrains and landmarks.
1. 🚀 Mortar Introduction and Crafting Info
· The mortar is a Tier 2 item and uses two types of ammunition: mortar shells and flechette mortar shells.
· The mortar itself is inexpensive to craft, requiring 20 high-quality metal and 3 pipes.
· Regular mortar shells can be crafted in batches of 2 for 1 pipe and 300 gunpowder, while flechette mortar shells can be crafted in batches of 3 for 1 pipe and 150 gunpowder.
· Currently, mortar shells cannot be crafted at the mixing table, but this may change in the future.

2. 💡 Mortar's Role and Placement
· Unlike the Tier 1 slingshot or the Tier 3 rocket launcher, the mortar serves as an effective mid-tier offensive tool.
· Mortars can be placed on any flat terrain, including foundations.
· They cannot be placed on boats but can be placed on icebergs.
· After use, the mortar loses about 15 durability, so repairs are necessary.
· You can exit the mortar by pressing the spacebar after placement.
· Mortars can be safely used from behind wooden barricades.

3. 🧱 Mortar's Building Destruction Analysis
· The mortar attacks buildings using regular mortar shells that deal explosive damage.
· Experiments showed it dealt about 30 damage to stone foundations and metal doors, but did not significantly damage armored foundations or garage doors.
· Using regular mortar shells, approximately 6 shots are needed to destroy a single door, slightly less than the 4 shots required by a rocket launcher.
· While the mortar doesn't damage foundations directly, it does damage frames. Therefore, precise aiming is crucial.
