Where to find Mantis Blades in Cyberpunk 2077 – all available methods

If you plan to use Mantis Blades as your main weapon in Cyberpunk 2077, you should focus on improving the Reflex stat and the Blades skill, which increases your movement speed, passive evasion, critical chance, bleeds, and blade damage.

Mantis Blades also has its own special attack. By holding and releasing the left attack button, V will jump forward towards the target, dealing massive damage to them. The blades themselves deal physical damage, have a high attack speed, and a chance to bleed. Weapon damage increases with V level, so players can safely use swords for longer periods of time knowing they won’t outgrow them.

This method became available after the release of update 2.0. Moreover, this option looks the most interesting, because it is related to one of the characters in the game, known to us from the first trailers.

First, go to the fashion store, which is located in the center of Night City. The exact location is indicated on the map.

Talk to the seller about any topic. Then get out, go to another part of town and wait a day. If you want, you can easily turn back time.

After this, an additional task icon should appear where the store is located. If this does not happen, go back to the seller and wait another 24 hours.

If everything is done correctly, go to the new side quest and talk to Zane again. During the conversation, a cyberpsycho storms into the building. Attack him. Regardless of whether you kill the man or not, the Max-Tak unit led by Melissa Rory will arrive at the store. It was this girl who appeared in the very first trailer of Cyberpunk 2077, which was released in 2013.

Your job is to kill the girl. We recommend approaching her up close and firing a few shots with a shotgun at close range. First, you can throw the Blue Fang Blade at her head to stun her. You can pick up the Mantis Blades from Melissa’s corpse.

After this, all you have to do is leave the store. You can immediately run into the street, get into a car and try to hide from the police. If you decide to kill the entire Max-tak team, we recommend starting with the machine gun and then taking out the rest of the fighters. Reinforcements will arrive, so they need to get rid of them. All you have to do is wait until your desired level drops to zero.

If you purchased Phantom Liberty, you can obtain the Legendary Swords after completing the main storyline of the expansion. It is important to side with Reed and begin the side mission “Interregnum”. We talked about it in the DLC walkthrough. During this quest you must meet Mr. Tell Hands the coordinates of the convoy. After completing the mission, the fixer will contact you. Complete his new assignment. As a token of gratitude, he will leave the Mantis Blades in your apartment. Just search the container.

The weapon may not appear in your box. If you encounter a similar problem, wait a day or make a save, restart the game and load this save.

Everything is simple here. We go to any mower (icon with scissors on the map) and buy an implant in the “Hands” section (not “Hands”). The blades occupy one slot and are therefore not compatible with other similar implants, such as Gorilla Arms, Monostring or Projectile Launching System. To qualify for a purchase, you must reach the twentieth level of the reputation metric and collect 15,350 euros. This is quite a high price, so you will have to complete the tasks for a while.
