Where Is The M-92 Mantis Sniper Rifle?

Hi. After fully finishing my first play through of the game I realised that the M-92 Mantis is not in the game.

It has been in all other Mass Effect titles. I like that rifle. It was powerful but preferably when it was on the characters back it compressed to a nice, small size. The Widow/Black Widow look too big so I never used them.

Is there any way this rifle can be introduced back into the game through future DLC please. I have attached a pic for reference on what it looks like. If it is indeed in the game I would love to know where it is.

Thanks.

  • IIRC, the M-97 Viper is considered an upgrade of the M-92 Mantis. Yeah, it does less damage per shot, but it's semi-auto versus single shot.

    Also, as a nitpick, the Mantis, Viper, etc., were never in ME1.

    Fair enough it wasn't called the mantis but since there were only 2 types of looking weapon. One typed looked like the mantis

  • I think they were both technically in 1 (the skins). they just named them in 2.

  • Huh, you are right about the mantis, it has really been awhile since I played that. The other sniper looks similar, but more square, probably just a prototype design. 🤔

    Ok. I think we are missing the point now. Can it just be possible that it can be added in future DLC? That's all I ask. As of right now there is no Mantis Sniper rifle in MEA. It being in ME1 is irrelevant.

  • I'm 200% sure that the Mantis was in ME1, it was just called by a manufacter or line name like Avengers. Same sniper rifle, just remodeled. Different scope and barrel. What else do you think we exploded Geth heads with?
