Mordhau - Как построить Баллисту, Катапульту и Укрепления

Mass battles in Mordhau are not limited to the use of bows and knives, sometimes it is much more efficient to use siege techniques and build shelters to reduce the variability of enemy manoeuvres. We will describe how to create and use these helpful devices below.

How to build a ballista in Mordhau

First, you need to equip the toolbox as an active item before the match or choose the Engineer class. It is located in the two-handed weapon category in your inventory between the Executioner's Sword and Bardish. After the start of the match, find the area with a box for replenishing ammunition and fill it up to 6 units (the starting number is 3). Now you can build a ballista, but consider that its construction to spend all 6 units of tools.

Ballista launches a missile at a great distance and kills any opponent with a single hit, but requires careful aiming. Your mobility while using it is significantly reduced, so we recommend using weapons only for ranged combat. As opponents, it is better to choose archers, horsemen and static enemies on a dais.

Catapults in Mordhau

Unlike ballista, a catapult does not require high precision aiming, because it causes damage over a fairly large area. Depending on how close the target is to the centre of the falling stone radius, the enemy will either die or be seriously wounded. It is best to use this weapon against large clusters of enemy soldiers on the battlefield, bridges and walls. Do not forget that your allies may also die from hitting.

Fortification

Fortifications could also be built thanks to a toolbox, but they only consume 1 tool unit. At the moment there are 3 types of fortifications:

• Spikes – inflicts damage to opponents who have stepped on them. Especially effective against enemies on horseback. 
• Mantlet – high wooden fortification, which can serve as a fence for the shooters. With its help, you can build a sufficiently reliable wall to protect the territory. This type of fortification can be moved.
• Mini-ballista – is a semi-automatic mini-analogue to the ballista. Releases 5 bolts at a great distance, and then goes into the cooldown. Suitable for increasing the army's efficiency when cleaning the territory. Requires 6 units of tools as well as the "full" option.
