everything that is more than 7 req points is useless! Match are too short! Need some tweeking here!
I’ve only seen them in the beginning, from those packs that people got when they started.
I’ve played a lot of warzone and only seen the mantis twice.
I’ve seen them a few times; annoyingly, I unlocked the ONI Mantis Cert in one pack and then the regular one a pack later. I’ve never used it, though. I’m far more partial to the bayoneted weaponry at the higher REQ levels.
i tend to get dropped from servers a lot so i’m not going to risk it
I agree. Not a lot of my games get to req 8. 7 normally has a short window.
played over 300 haven’t seen one
I’ve played 89 games of Warzone, used the Mantis twice, have a card for it, and have seen it about 5-6 times. I guess I’m just lucky?
i have 9 or 10 mantis cards i will never use them
I’ve had precisely one Mantis. I didn’t realise that it would take so long to get another since I’m still waiting. I got 6 kills with it, supported an attack on a base before I bumped into an enemy Scorpion. I’ve literally only ever seen two other people on any team use a Mantis in all the Warzone games I’ve played.

Not sure how you have played that match without seeing them but yes they are hard to get hold of, the current way Warzone is balanced makes seem rare, there too easy to take down so using a card on them seems worthless in Warzone.
Got the Oni version twice in the same game(!) using the random vehicle card. My only experience with getting one myself but can only remember seeing them appear in games on very few occasions.
I have seen 2 and they didn’t last very long on the battlefield.
I think 343i should make the REQ earning system about .05% faster so the bayonets and mantis can come play a little more.
You don’t see them because they are a joke to use. Most other vehicles can beat a mantis without much difficulty. And, with how easy it is to be hijacked, calling a mantis is basically throwing away 8 req points that could give you something fairly useful.
Haven’t played 120 games of Warzone but I’ve played quite a bit and still haven’t seen a Mantis either
I had a mantis in one game with a phaeton straight after
the match before that I had 2 mantids
helps when you get the certification
this was yesterday

? You know the loadout guns with bayonets don’t take req points to use right?

lol you beat me to it
Mantis’s are pretty rare. I have somewhere around 50% of my REQs unlocked and I still have yet to unlock one mantis and I think I’m like level 62. Once I unlock them, sure I’ll use them when I get the cards to complete the commendations. I enjoy the Mantis on that one BTB map. When I get it I usually end up going 20-2 or somewhere around those lines with lots of banshee destruction. When a spartan is chasing you down to board if you see him early you literally move faster than his sprint so it’s pretty difficult to board when seen. As for Warzone I think it would be a little challenging as you’ll be getting shot by BR’s and DMR’s in every direction meaning no shield regeneration. You just have to play with the mentality that you have shields and need cover.
