- Popular Manufacturer(s): Devlon Industries
- Training Required: Sniper Rifles
- Rounds per minute: 30
- Related weapons: X-97a Viper Sniper Rifle
- DESCRIPTION: Powerful sniper rifle, capable of taking out most targets in a single shot. Incredibly accurate at long range, but slow rate of fire. Very effective versus armour, but weaker versus shields and biotic barriers. Manufactured by Devlon Industries, the Mantis is primarily used by police and planetary militia groups. The prevalence of kinetic barriers has made this weapon less popular with the military, but it is used more frequently in the Terminus system where these defenses are less common.

ML-77 MISSILE LAUNCHER
- Popular Manufacturer(s): Armax Arsenal
- Training Required: Heavy Weapons
- Rounds per minute: 80
- Related weapons: None
- DESCRIPTION: The missile launcher falls into the Heavy Weapons category of armament and is recommended for engagements where large–scale opposition is expected. Single-person portability is retained thanks to the now-standard collapsible design. What makes the missile launcher so effective is the friend–or–foe projectiles it fires – the user can fire the weapon from behind cover and the missiles will, within milliseconds, identify, lock onto and track enemies (organic or synthetic). The intended target has only a 6.8‰ chance (plus or minus, depending on weather conditions and available cover) of evading the impact(s).
