Higurashi 20-13 Mantis Blades

The Higurashi 20-13 Mantis Blades are an unobtainable cyberware implant which appear in.

Overview
An older iteration of the mantis blades arm cyberware, they are considered to be of very high quality but suffer from a dangerous flaw - poor interface with neural processors and the prefrontal cortex, which resulted in users frequently developing cyberpsychosis.

As a result of this flaw, the Higurashi 20-13 line was discontinued in 2069, with MaxTac preferring the new Arasaka Mantis Blades.
