Mantis Blades

The Mantis Blades are a cyberware implant for the arms in.

Overview
The Mantis Blade is a cyberweapon obtainable in. The Mantis Blade is implanted in the forearm, and is hidden when not extended. In its extended state, the shape of the Mantis Blade resembles that of the forelegs of the mantis.

Mantis blades are often dual-wielded, enabling the player to use them both as melee weapons.

Gameplay
Unlike other Blades, Mantis Blades have an unlimited Light Attack combo. Using a Heavy Attack, V steps forward a bit on an invalid or close target or lunges at a valid target within 15m of V. If V uses a Heavy Attack on a target that would kill it, V initiates a finisher move. Mantis Blades can be used to block attacks. Using Block then Attack, V slices and lunges backwards, farther than the similar move with a Katana.

Acquisition
In Cyberpunk 2077, Mantis Blades may be acquired at any ripperdoc in Rare quality with one mod slot, except for Fingers, or the Aldecaldos Ripperdoc, who sells all Arms cyberware at Epic quality.

One pair of Legendary quality Mantis Blades may be aquired during "Cyberpsycho Sighting: Phantom of Night City", another at an "Assault in Progress" marker near the Megabuilding H2 fast travel point, on a rooftop where an EMP was used to down a Trauma Team transport ship.
