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

Do you want to know how to get the iconic melee weapon “Mantis Blades” in Cyberpunk 2077, which was featured in the game’s announcement trailer? Blades are folding blades that protrude from your forearms. They are great for shredding enemies and dealing devastating damage.


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

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

Where to buy Mantis Blades in Cyberpunk 2077

Everything is simple here. We go to any ripper (icon with scissors on the map) and buy an implant in the “Hands” section (not “Palms”). Blades occupy a single slot, so they are not compatible with other similar implants, such as Gorilla Arms, Monostring, or Projectile Launching System. To be eligible to purchase, you need to reach the twentieth level of the Reputation stat and accumulate 15,350 Eurodollars. This is quite a steep high price, so you will have to complete the tasks for a while.
