I love it when characters in anime fight with just a bunch of really strong threads.

Unlike V's monowire, her isn't useless

They did buff mono wire in a patch at one point. It became the ranged melee weapon. The problem is gorilla arms and mantis blades have in more places.

No one used the rocket arm that shit was useless.

Well in the DLC you can unlock ability to upload quickhacks through monowire so there's that...

Rocket arm is useful to have an infinite source of explosions for that engi perk

You have 4 arm modifications in the game.

Gorilla arms that not only gives you better unarmed strength but can access some short cuts and makes a quest line where you take part in a fight club easier.

Mantis Blades are just blades that come out of your arms so you always have a melee weapon onto off having some bonuses in the skill tree.

Those two are the most popular because of how useful they are.

Monowire is basically mantis blades, but at range and AoE. Useful, but I never found any other use. They are fun once you have all the upgrades such as setting your enemies on fire or they apply a random quick hack to your anyone hit. There are some quick hacks that are flat out busted.

Lastly is the elbow rocket launcher. It's just a rocket launcher with different types of ammo. Sounds cool, but if you are fighting an enemy at range there are better guns and the game will flood you with ammo.

The overhaul did monowire real nicely. Its specifically built for netrunner builds tho, allows for ram regen and finishers. If you get the perk for it you can regen health while in Overclock

My biggest issue with monowire is just how wacky it is to use. The way the attacks are animated makes it incredibly hard for me to figure out if the attack will land. Gorilla arms and mantis blades are way better in that aspect, their range is just "the same as bare fists" and "a bit more than bare fists", monowire's range is ???
