Want to know how to get Mantis Blades in Cyberpunk 2077? For those of us who have been eagerly anticipating the release of Cyberpunk 2077 ever since its first announcement trailer back in 2013 – yep, it was that long ago – the Mantis Blades have long been associated with Cyberpunk’s razor-sharp style. Based on the mantis insect, they’re a type of Cyberpunk 2077 cyberware; folding blades that emerge from your forearms to slice through foes and deal devastating damage.
If you’re planning to incorporate Mantis Blades into your Cyberpunk 2077 build, you need to focus on reflexes, which increases your movement speed, passive evasion, crit chance, and damage from Mantis Blades specifically. You should also practice the precision art of slicing and dicing; earning skill progression in blades buffs your damage using Mantis Blades, and there are plenty of Cyberpunk 2077 perks that help your Blades deal more damage, too.
Mantis Blades also have their own devastating special attack; after holding and releasing your left mouse button, V leaps forward towards a target and stabs them for massive damage. The blades themselves deal a huge amount of physical damage, and have a rapid attack speed – and the chance to inflict bleeding – one of the several Cyberpunk 2077 status effects. Here’s how to obtain the Mantis Blades.
