Does anyone know how to use a standard req 7 mantis? I have been trying to use them, but every time I end up getting like 1-3 kills it it, when every time I spawn in lets say a scorpion, I go like a 20+ kill streak every time. The chain gun does barely any dmg and it is near impossible to hit anyone with the missiles unless they are right in front of you. The stomp seems just about useless to, everytime someone gets close to me and I stomp, I just hit a hit marker then I get highjacked. I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel like the mantis is way to weak for it’s cost and rarity, they should only be able to be highjacked from behind, the chain gun needs to hit harder, the missles need to shoot in straight line, and the stomp needs to actually kill people.
You press the stomp button to not let anyone hijack you since it does a one hit ko
Also, I think your aim needs to be better. Aiming is key to use every single thing in halo.

You can’t really aim the misses like you aim the cannon of the tank.
The Mantis is general is a lot weaker compared to Halo 4. The guns do less damage, the rockets now fire in random directions (unless locked on) and the stomp does less damage.
It’s just very situational now. Pick your battles and keep your distance.

It just seems redundant to spawn in a mantis when I can spawn in a scorpion.
To use a standard Mantis.
Step One: Spawn the Mantis.
Step Two: Either get jacked or blown up before you take three steps.
Step Three: Player does a victory dance on the twisted wreckage.
ONI Mantis is really the only good one, the locking missiles make it a wonder of destruction. All the other ones are basically a way for people to get their destroy commendations done.
The scorpion is slow, though. They should increase the speed just a little bit. People can’t hijack it easily.

I mean if they were to buff the scorpion, then they have to buff the mantis.

Holy cow its lil moa! I have yet to get a mantis and I’m a SR98.
You have to use it as a team. Only spawn it if you have 3 or 4 guys with mics at least that will commit to backing you up. They have to be team players. Preferably one or two can be in a warthog or ghost and the others on foot. The Mantis is weak so you need their support to keep boarders of your back but also to help kill and get you close enough to where the Mantis can do damage. You also want to attack from around corners of buildings so that when you get pinged with BRs and DMRs you can back up. I know its not as fun as vehicle combat used to be, but thats how you have to do it in warzone since regular vehicles are like paper and you have 12 kinetic BRs hitting you at once.

Stomp only works within a very limited range, is slow, and doesn’t cover 360 around the Mantis, someone running from behind has a free pass.
