| ===History===
| | 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. It is presently unknown what kind of ammunition gives the mortar these properties<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/firebase.aspx#Turret]</ref>. |
| During the [[Harvest campaign]] on [[2531#February|February 4, 2531]], [[Epsilon Base]] had its turrets upgraded to include KG Mk.34, where the flamethrower fuel ratio was optimized.{{Ref/Site|Id=HWLS|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/halowars/index.html?fbid=0eK_L23l9WQ|Site=halo.xbox.com|Page=Halo Wars Launch Site|Detail=(Defunct)|D=12|M=8|Year=2010|NoArchive=Yes|LocalArchive=Halo Wars Launch Site}}
