Mantis Blades

Arasaka Mantis Blade — a perfect balance between classical melee weapons and state-of-the-art artificial muscles.

Overview
The Mantis Blade is a cyberweapon obtainable in Cyberpunk 2077. 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 both use them as a melee weapon.

Gameplay
Mantis Blades replace the unarmed slot. To ready Mantis Blades, press 4 on the Keyboard or scroll the mouse wheel until they are selected or hold the Alt key to open the weapon wheel and select the Mantis Blades.

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 crouches and then lunges at a target using a Heavy Attack that would kill the target, 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.

Aquisiton
In Cyberpunk 2077, Mantis Blades may be aquired at any Ripperdoc in Rare quality with one mod slot, except for Fingers, 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".
