ground or behind a piece <strong>of</strong> cover (hold LT while behind cover).<br />

MORTAR<br />

Like the Mulcher, the Mortar can be picked up without having to discard either <strong>of</strong> your weapons, and can be<br />

mounted on the ground or behind a piece <strong>of</strong> cover (hold LT while behind cover). This is a long-range weapon, useful<br />

for decimating large groups <strong>of</strong> enemies in the distance.<br />

To use this weapon, point towards your target and hold RT to start it up. You'll notice a meter that rises as you hold<br />

RT. This meter indicates how far the mortar strike will travel. It goes up to 150m, and can be launched at as low as<br />

25m. Occasionally, two white markers will appear on the meter; this indicates how far you must aim to clear your<br />

target. These markers don't always appear, so using the Mortar can sometimes be a bit <strong>of</strong> a guessing game.<br />

BOOM SHIELD<br />

The Boom Shield essentially acts as a piece <strong>of</strong> deployable cover; it can be set down by pressing the A button while<br />

holding LT. The shield can be used to block <strong>of</strong>f narrow stairways and other passages to prevent the big Locust<br />

(Bloodmounts, Boomers, etc.) from moving past it. The Drone-type enemies can kick the shield down, however, so<br />

setting it down won't keep you <strong>com</strong>pletely safe. While carrying the Boom Shield, you only have access to your pistol<br />

and melee attacks.<br />

Maulers carry Boom Shields and use them to ward <strong>of</strong>f gunfire, thus requiring a team effort to bring one down.<br />
