The Soldier sizing up his targets

The Mortar Launcher is an unused primary weapon for the Soldier. Upon alt-firing (default key: MOUSE2), 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.
