The Better Melee mod for Cyberpunk 2077 addresses some of the issues that have been present in the game since its release, such as the inability to perform melee attacks, the lack of combos, and the poor quality of life of the combat weapons.

In the first place, the mantis blades. As you might know, in Cyberpunk 2077, you can find a wide variety of combat weapons, from swords, to guns, to grenades, to throwing knives, to spears, to axes, to tridents, to laser guns. However, all of them have one thing in common: they are all extremely slow, and it is extremely hard to do melee attacks with them. And that is exactly the problem with them. You can do all sorts of melee attacks with melee weapons, but the more powerful the weapon, the more chances you have of hitting your target, and the harder it is to do so. So the mantis blades are the perfect weapon for you. They allow you to perform melee attacks more effectively, and at the same time, they give you more time to aim and hit your target.

The Better Melee mod addresses this issue by changing the way you can perform melee attacks in the game. You can still use your standard combat weapons, but the mantis blades will be much more effective.
