Very short guide on how to acquire the unique Maxtac mantis blades + original character reference from 2013 Teaser trailer for Cyberpunk 2077.
Guide to Get Unique Maxtac Mantis Blades
Сrеdit gоеs to mouse!
Where and How
Go to the clothing store you see here, it’s locating in the city center, and it’s on the upper left side. The nearest travel dataterm is in the screenshot.
Go to the clothing store and speak to the shop clerk, he is called Zane. Say/do anything buy some clothing if you want to. Then leave, wait a 2-3 in-game days and you should see a quest marker show up in where the clothing vendor icon was.
Go inside and speak once again to Zane, say anything it doesn’t matter. After the conversation you should be attacked by a Cyberpsycho. Deal with it how you so please, you can just run around and wait for help to show up if you’re low level or weak.
Once the chap has been dealt with. Continue with the quest, once it ends. Keep an eye out for Melissa Rory!
She is the MaxTac officer who has the unique mantis blades on her and she drops them. If you can’t take your weapons out, quickly walk outside and walk back in again dont leave the area entirely. Then you should be able to attack her. Quickly kill her and loot the mantis blades. Warning: you will have maximum wanted level and more maxtac will show up
How they look in-game.
Melissa Rory Backstory
Originally Melissa Rory was a Cyberpsycho apprehended by MaxTac.
She is the woman seen in this trailer, the name of the job is BULLETS and the song that plays in the teaser trailer is also called BULLETS. So this job is a direct reference to her.
You can find this message about Melissa during the quest “THE HUNT” when looking through one of the NCPD computers.
For some reason she wont drop them for me, is it something to do with the new dlc making fucking it up?
yeah unfortunately the blades were added as a part of phantom liberty as far as i can tell.
evidently because they very much so made it so you cant get the blades in main game without the dlc anymore
Im a melee build and im not a huge fan of the mantis blades, personally i stick to my Byakko or Errata katanas
you won’t miss out on a whole lot skipping the maxtac blades
