# [BF Comms] Portable Mortar changes We've seen discussions on the upcoming Portable Mortar changes in 1.2.2.0, and wanted to dive into the intentions behind it a little more: Mortars are most effective when players have focused areas of engagement, so this change is primarily expected to impact the usage of Portable Mortars in Breakthrough. It can be hard to find spots to use this gadget on offense, which is intended to help open up lanes for the team to push through or clear up dense spots of defenders. At the moment, the mortars are primarily used on defense due to the flexibility of space allowing them to more easily bottle the offense up in their HQ or bombard a flag once the team on offense finally reach one. We want mortars to be a valid option to counter other mortars, but will continue to monitor if usage swings the other way and it becomes too easy to pressure defenders. Currently, we don't expect this change to impact Conquest or Escalation much, as the number of kills in those modes is currently very low due to the constant player movement they require. We're looking forward to your feedback on this and other 1.2.2.0 changes! If you haven't checked out our Update Notes, head over to our [blog on Discord](
