ok so it takes one hijack to take down a oni mantis at level 8 req whats the point
I agree, I have yet to receive a mantis but they seem to be slightly under powered. I have taken them down before with a sword wraith
I agree, but not because of the highjacking. It’s actually harder to hijack than the Scorpion because of the mobility. But I think it should be one level lower for all variants because it lacks the punch of other options, specifically the Scorpion.
It’s a lot easier to get shot off while hijacking not to mention manti can stomp sooooo you either -Yoinked!- up or that end result was inevitable
i liked the mantis so much better in halo 4. i dont have one yet but ive seen people die easily in one and saw posts on here about how its too weak and i agree it was way stronger in halo 4. halo 4 didnt have stronger variants of the same vehicle so every vehicle in halo 4 was stronger then their halo 5 counterpart
Why do people complain about REQ level 8 and 9 being too high?
It really isn’t hard to get.

Less about whether or not it’s difficult to get to 8 or 9, and more about whether the req is worth waiting till that level to use.
For example, it isn’t hard to get to req level 6, but is a Gauss Hog really worth the level when you can get an ONI Hog at level 3?

Like this guy said, at 8 or 9, i could get a mantis that prob wont last long cause ppl will gun for its destruction for commendation, or i could go with a saw with a grade 3 power boost and probably wreck more or somethign along the lines. to be honest i believe it needs to be knocked down 1 req energy.

i tried to stomp but it didnt do anything just moved him a little
I think tank should replace mantis in req levels. Spawning in a mantis and getting railed by a tank across the map instantly in one shot just makes me have no value in a mantis.
its a seven for me but I think they should be a six

That’s cause the mantis is for support, not for attacking.

So if the Mantis is for support, why the -Yoink- does it require such a high req level? Seems very nonsensical.

Yes it is. At least it is for me in WA. I can get to 7 every match but by the time 8 comes around the game is almost over. Sometimes if and when it does come around just pointless when you can it destroyed by a lower req lvl weapon in 2 shots
. It really should be available at a lower req.
The mantis should definitely be a lower REQ. Mantis is far to weak and I pick tank over it everytime. The only reason to use one would be for commendations. Also the mantis having to fire all rockets at the same time was also a questionable design choice.
We need armor improvement for mantis. You can kill any mantis using a BR o SMG. It’s not a big deal.
Also the “kick” area must be larger and it should be hijacked only from behind!
A 5% damage boost on the mantis’s chain gun isn’t a bad idea also…
I think that all Mantis variants should be lowered one level, I don’t see the point of them if you can get a Scorpion for less REQ energy and they essentially do the same thing.
All vehicles seem underpowered. You are able to jump on the Mantis from the front now and from the air. It is so easily taken out. I may get 2 kills then boom. The scorpion is too slow considering how fast spartans move now. The gunners on warthogs are shot down unremarkably fast. Warthogs are literally suicidal. Then splinter grenades EMP vehicles, and anyone can call in a plasma pistol. Vehicles are pointless in warzone… sometimes. I am very good with them and don’t die often, but most people I see use them don’t get to enjoy them. I can see how it sucks. Then BTB is so screwed up because there are very very few vehicles. I loved the Mantis on Guillotine, but they had to remove it.
No decrease in Req level, but buffed. 343 took to heart too much of the H4 feedback on the mantis, and now it is pitiful.
The stomp is greatly nerfed, the stomp, the vehicle health more so than the shields. The Mantis be splattered by a Wraith. It kill you, but not the Vehicle lol. I only asked for the hijack for front and back, cuz that was annoying in H4, but everything else shouldn’t have happened.
BTW the Oni Mantis is the only Mantis that is 8 reqs. All others are 7. By the time you have enough items unlocked that you get the Mantis, achieving 7 reqs should be easily and hastily doable.
