In Mordhau, you have the ability to build a Ballista or find out on the battlefield and use it to your advantage. Rather than scavenging for spare Ballista, it can be worthwhile to learn how to build your own. To build Ballista in Mordhau, you’ll either need to select the Engineer class, or equip a Toolbox to another class loadout.
To improve your Ballista build potential, you can also add a Blacksmith’s Hammer to your loadout, and put points in the Smith perk which will increase your overall build speed. Note that the faster you build your Ballista, the more effective it will be for sniping incoming enemies. To build a Ballista, tap R and cycle through the building options.
Keep in mind that Ballista will take time to build, so it’s not recommended that you begin building one when enemies are nearby. Instead, scout a safe location, or ask a friend to spot you while you build your Ballista.
