Plasma mortar: Difference between revisions

The '''Type-26 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar''' ('''T-26 35cm DEM''') is the primary armament of the [[Type-26 Wraith]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''pages 117, 228''</ref> The Wraith is essentially a mobile plasma mortar. In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', that was the sole purpose of the Wraith, lacking any other weapon systems. In ''Halo 2'', the Wraith was armed with two plasma cannons for protection. In ''Halo 3'', the Wraith was turned into an all-out tank with its own gunner seat.  It retains this weapons configuration for ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians''.

The '''Type-58 35cm Directed-Energy Mortar''' ('''T-58 35cm DEM''') is the primary armament of the [[Type-58 Wraith]]. The plasma mortar can destroy heavily reinforced defenses from a long distance while also proving effective in closer engagements, at least in the hands of a skilled operator. The heavy mortar cannon is attached to the rear of the Wraith.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/wraith '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Wraith'']</ref>
