If you could have either the monowire or mantis blades in real life, which would you choose?
For the sake of fairness let's assume that you have the skills to use both effectively, and also have the cyberware to hold the monowire without cutting your hand off
Probably mantis blades, I think I would cut my own arm or leg off with monowire.

i would get the arm launcher, havin a conceal carry grenade launcher is just the dream lol, but if not that probably the mantis blades, my clumsy ass would cut myself with the wire lol
Don__Draper8
Monowire, super rangey and honestly for the cool factor alone
samuinfernus
Gorrilla arms.
Vintenu
Mantis blades, first of all, my arms now look like cyberware and has all the cool lines and stuff, secondly, if I have all the skills to use it, then I am like peak athletic form, and the final reason is that the dispenser thingy for the monowire just looks weird
ChazzItUp69
Neither. What am I ever gonna use them for?
TheAmogusPotion
None of them bruh ššš these would look way more terrifying in real life
LuHex
Gorilla arms is the only right answer.

Mantis blades would have a huge intimidation factor in a real life fight. Imagine getting into a scuffle with someone and their fucking arms unfold into giant blades.

will the monowire charge my phone?
BUSTIN4BILLIE
Definitely mantis, I mean come on they’re sick asf

Monowire is by far my favorite in game, but I think mantis blades would be more practical in real life
Dangerous-Spend3924
Mantis blades easy. I’ve wanted cool cyborg arms with blades inside ever since I played Deus Ex Human Revolution.Ā
Appropriate-Claim-29
Monowire, but better not. knowing myself I would have some unfortunateble oopsies
Bright-Union-6157
Gorilla arms beat both choom but I do like the monowire…
Laranthiel
You really asking if i rather have a derpy wire or a damn sword come out of my arm?

Mantis blades, however I fell like Iād fiddle with activating them on and off and accidentally flatline my choom.
Familiar_Band2069
neither, both are terrifying
cosaboladh
Neither. There is really no use for them in real life, unless you’re an absolute psychopath. It may be perfectly normal to run around killing random strangers in a video game. I promise you, kill just one person in real life, none of your friends or family will look at you the same way again. Also, you’ll go to prison, if you’re not shot by the incompetent police who arrest you.
Both are pretty useless but if I had to choose one, I would take the blades. Forgot to take a knife for mushroom gathering? Mantis blades!

Gorilla Arms

I think the blades are dumb so wire all of the way.

Mantis blades. Monowire seems more dangerous for the person holding it.
hot_diggity_dang_
I feel like if I had the monowire I would trip over it and get tangled constantly
SlapMeHal
neither
I-AM-A-ROBOT-
monowire
Prestigious_Echo6831
Mantis blade. If anyone ever tries to mug me and I just whip out blades from my fucking arms I’ll be left alone. Worth nothing I’m not in the US, if I were, I’d just get shot lol
Hellion_Immortis
Was going to say that with my clumsy ass, I’d just as easily maim myself as others with the monowire. But your clause of fairness made me think, I’d still go with mantis blades. Gorilla arms are cool, and what I rock on my V, but having actual hands instead of robotic hands would be better, so mantis blades it is.
No_Truce_
Mantis blades, if I could use them to climb like what was shown in the 2077 demo.
TotesMahGhots
Mantis blades all the way
wattson_ttv
Monowire, feels less invasive and purely as a fighting tool is more versatile. Mantis blades look sick as but there’s a lot of moving parts I really would not want getting gummed up.
If I could choose any of the arms obviously gorilla arms, they’re not just good for punching they’re just an all-round upgrade to the forearms
_b1ack0ut
Am I limited to only these two options?
In that case, monowire, cuz it can be installed in a meat arm while a mantis blade cannot.

monowire so i can do rope skipping
Thermal Mantis Blades.
Gorilla arms, 100%. Poke? No. Whip? No. Lift and smash? Yes.
Monowire for sure. Way more uses than just chopping someone to bits.
Monowire. Easily concealable but with surprising range and ludicrous lethality.
