"If you ever need to fire eleven missiles in just over a second, the Cortez Rocket Artillery Vehicle is the easiest way to do it."

- Stockpile description

The Cortez Rocket Artillery is a Venezuelan Army self-propelled Multiple Rocket Launcher truck that is featured in the PS2 version of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

Overview
The Cortez Artillery is supposed to be used to bombard locations even though it never does such thing in game. It's not recommended to bring it to a heavy fire fight, as it is very fragile, being easily destroyed by constant small arms fire.

Locations

 * There is one north of Caracas and another near Gen.Torres' location, the latter being close to the river.

Tactics
In order to use the artillery effectively against infantry or ground vehicles the mercenary needs to park the front of the truck on a downhill slope to get a good angle.

Real Life
The Cortez Rocket Artillery is based on the Chinese NORINCO Type 81/PHL-81 MRLS.

Trivia

 * The Cortez Artillery reuses a cut North Korean artillery truck from the first Mercenaries.
 * It is the PS2 version of the Armored Tiger MLRS although being part of the Venezuelan army.
 * There´s a visual bug on the door insignia.
