Players have several ways to acquire Mantis Blades, but some of them can be expensive or difficult. Following the steps in the video JorRaptor, players can get Mantis Blades in minutes:
- Head to the central area of the city, in particular, to Corpo Plaza.
- Pay attention to the side job marker on the map in the upper left corner outside of the large intersection.
- Get to your place of work
- Save your game before entering the side mission area (there is a chance the Mantis Blades won't spawn, and if it does, you can reload your last save and try again)
- Enter the side job area and find a chest on the wall to the right, just behind the body on the ground.
- Search the chest and you will see the available Mantis Blades.
- If the blades don't appear, reload your last save and repeat the process until they do.
- At this point, you can either leave the area and not fight the side quest boss (who will stop attacking you as soon as you leave), or you can defeat the enemy to get a legendary tier katana.
- Go to the ripperdock to install Mantis Blades and then they will be available for equipping.
