Class-2 medium plasma mortar

"It’s not nearly as powerful as the Wraith’s cannon, and the arc is less pronounced, but the rate of fire is cranked up a few ticks..."

- Bungie

The medium plasma mortar is a Covenant artillery weapon mounted on the Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage. It is a downscaled version of the plasma mortar mounted on the Wraith and on some automated defensive turrets. While charging, the plasma possesses a bluish tinge, though it is red when it is fired. The weapon has a less pronounced parabolic arc than its larger cousin. The mortar can fire once every two to five seconds.
