Faker

The Faker is a Small Artillery weapon.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
It's your standard heavy infantry mortar. Versatile, with fragmentation rounds that can deal solid damage against both shielding and hull plating without being overly concerned about collateral damage. I mean, don't drop one of these on a habitation block and expect everything to be fine, but it's not going to shatter glass five blocks away either, unlike the Balão.-MB
== Notes & Strategy ==
* Crafty Brigadors can bank on the quiet fire report of the Faker to shell unaware hostiles. But relocation after each shot is necessary, because enemies will triangulate your position the instant they hear the blast. Disengage to another area and come back, and you may find old targets again at ease, although practice is required to hit moving targets.
* Direct hits are devastating, and will take down any key structure without need for follow ups. The perfect tool for a shy Brigador. 
*Caution is warranted when firing the weapon, however, as the firing arc indicated on the screen has a misleading point of origin. It will strike and detonate on nearby obstacles despite the firing arc indicating a clear path. In smaller mechs or suits like the Mongoose, even half-block sized obstacles will cause the payload to detonate in your face when firing the weapon too close to these, the lowest of obstacles, leading to catastrophic damage and death.
