The Soldier sizing up his targets

The Mortar Launcher is an unused primary weapon for the Soldier. Upon right clicking, all active rockets would immediately redirect to the point the player was looking at.[1] A console command called tf_mortar_allow_fulltracking would also be introduced. When set to 1, the player would be able to infinitely redirect all rockets fired at any time.[2] A reference to the texture for the "Mortar Launcher" can be found in texture_preload_list.txt, a file added to the game in the October 28, 2015 Patch: models/workshop/weapons/c_models/c_mortar_launcher/c_mortar_launcher.
