Did it bother you when you found out the new unique Mantis Blade variant in 2.0 was just... normal? Well, this mod is designed to fix that.
MaxTac Mantis Blades are now iconic cyberware, and given a bit of a buff (along with a Humanity cost increase) to reflect that status. MaxTac Blades have an inherent damage bonus over standard Mantis Blades, and also have a more potent damage bonus from their attribute attunement (maxing out at 20% bonus damage, rather than +10%). There are also two variant special abilities to choose from.
One version grants the benefit of the Slice 'Em Up weapon mod, making enemies more susceptible to Finishers for a few seconds after you get a kill. The other grants the iconic ability of the Gwynbleidd sword, doing bonus damage to high-threat enemies and granting guaranteed critical hits after multiple kills or when your health is critical. You can't have both versions installed at once, though.
There's now also an optional file available to revert the MaxTac blades back to the color of the standard Mantis Blades, if you prefer that style instead.
The REDMod version doesn't have any additional dependencies, but it does require you to install REDMod (which is a free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077). However, if you're using anything that requires Redscript, then you'll need either RED4ext or cybercmd to fix compatibility issues between that and REDMod.
The TweakXL version requires TweakXL and all of its dependencies.
Not at all required, but I do recommend using this with Faster Cyber Arms from my personal experience. There is also a bug in the base game that causes issues with correctly calculating cyberware capacity when using cyber arms, which isn't related to this mod itself but you're more likely to notice because of the increased capacity cost. To that end, I recommend installing Ripperdoc Current Capacity Bug Fix to fix that bug.
Installation: Installing for both REDMod and TweakXL is simple, just unzip the file and drag it into your Cyberpunk 2077 directory. Uninstallation is just as simple, delete the file from your Mods folder in the Cyberpunk directory and it's gone. Only install one main file, so choose between which variant you want and whether to use REDMod or TweakXL.

Many thanks to my friend Invariel for helping me with some debugging issues while putting this mod together, and again while I made the variants and TweakXL version.
