About the Mantis

Does anyone actually have the Mantis commendation maxed? I mean both the kills and the destroyer. I found out Big Team finally put those things back in and while it’s still weak I’m glad we have some way of working towards that Emblem. Also what are your thoughts on the Hannibal Mantis?

I only have the kills commendation for the Mantis completed (that was such a pain). I doubt I’ll ever get the destroyer commendation simply because I rarely ever play BTB and nobody ever spawns it in Warzone. As for the Hannibal Mantis, I doubt it’ll be better than the ONI Mantis and it’ll probably be just as weak as the current Mantises.

They said the ONI Mantis is still the strongest. I really wish such a weak vehicle was not so easily boarded. Why is it able to be boarded from the front? That’s what makes it so hard to manage. I don’t mind the shields recharging fast but this thing makes me wonder how effect the Hannibal Mantis will be?

They need to add the feature of not being able to get hijacked ! It is way too easy

It’s likely that the Hannibal mantis will be a Gauss variant and be as strong as the Gauss-hog and I agree that the mantis should only be able to be boarded from behind.
But removing boarding would make it far too strong.

If they are not going to buff the mantis, they should at least make it rare instead of ultra rare. I have only seen them in warzone a few times

In my last match (warzone turbo) I called in 3 mantises.
I got 2 kills and like 20+ assists.
I doubt I will ever finish this commendation -.-
