| — In-game description |
The Cremari Mortar is a handheld Mortar that indirectly fires various types of Mortar Shells over obstacles and at relative long ranges.
Description
The Cremari Mortar is a single-shot indirect-fire primary weapon that fires Mortar Shells, Shrapnel Mortar Shells, Flare Mortar Shells, and Incendiary Mortar Shells at a rate of 10 shells per minute. It has a range between 45 and 80 meters. Like other artillery armaments, it has an innate inaccuracy that grows with range: 5.5m at minimum range up to 12m at maximum range. It can only used from a crouched or prone position. It massively slows down the player when held in hand and is relatively heavy (180). The mortar shells fired take 1 to 4 seconds to land depending on the range and their trajectory is affected by the Wind.
Each mortar shell type is suited for a specific role:
- Mortar Shells are designed to destroy structures except Trenches (and potentially vehicles), dealing 300 High Explosive damage in a 2.5m radius and decreasing amounts in a 5m radius.
- Shrapnel Mortar Shells are designed to kill infantry, dealing 125 Shrapnel damage in a 4.5m radius and decreasing amounts in a 7.5m radius.
- Flare Mortar Shells are designed to ignite midair and illuminate an area in a 30m radius for 30 seconds at night, revealing enemy targets
- Incendiary Mortar Shells are designed to set structures on fire and deal Incendiary High Explosive damage.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).

Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
 Factory (Heavy Arms) | 100 x Basic Materials  25 x Refined Materials  | 1 Crate of 5 x Cremari Mortar  | 00:00:50 |
 Mass Production Factory (Heavy Arms) | 100 x Basic Materials 25 x Refined Materials | 1 Crate of 5 x Cremari Mortar | 00:8:20 |
Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of Cremari Mortar can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
- Due to the weapon's significant slowdown when wielded, it is recommended for the player to switch to their secondary weapon when they want to move.
- Its main advantage is firing from a distance. Keep yourself behind the front line to greatly increase your chance of survival.
- A mortar's fire can be seen through the night, like gunshots.
- Mortar Shells do not stack, so it is imperative that a mortar crew be well supplied by a logistics team.
- Predict enemy movement as the shells have a 1-4 second travel time based on distance.
- Remember what mortars sound like, as it is easy to tell if you are under attack by them and need to retreat.
- Adjust your shots by taking wind into account by checking the flags on pillboxes and other garrisoned structures.
- Warden players can wear a Heavy Ammo Uniform to reduce the weight of the mortar shells they carry.
Trivia
- The design and icon for the Cremari Mortar appear to be based off the Japanese Type 89 Mortar
