Mortar Shell

The Mortar Shell is one of two ammunition types compatible with the Mortar and is its primary raiding ammunition. This item was added to the game in the May 2026 Update.

The Mortar Shell ammunition is known for its ability to damage player structures and people, leaving a lasting impression wherever it lands. Think of it as a much weaker Rocket blast, but from a stationary, grounded launcher. It deals very little damage at this stage, but might be buffed later.
