*In multiplayer the player should always have a designated vehicle-based [[loadout]]. For their [[Tactical packages|tactical package]] they should always use Wheelman. A disabled Mantis takes the longest to recover out all the vehicles in ''Halo 4'' making Wheelman an absolute must. For their [[Support upgrades|support upgrade]] they should use either Gunner, so the Mantis' machine guns can fire longer before overheating, or Survivor, so that they may survive the Mantis' destruction. | *In multiplayer the player should always have a designated vehicle-based [[loadout]].

*The Mantis is very deadly to [[M12 Warthog]]s. The [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]]'s [[M46 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M46 machine gun]] is rather ineffective against a Mantis and the [[M12R Rocket Warthog]]'s [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System|missiles]] can easily be sidestepped by a Mantis at various ranges. The only Warthog a Mantis pilot should be weary of is the [[M12G1 Warthog|M12G1 Gauss Warthog]]. The Gauss Hog's [[M68 Gauss cannon]] can kill a fully shielded Mantis in three shots. The best way to deal with any Warthog is to use the Mantis' missiles, which can lead to flipping the Warthog and may even splatter the former occupants, or if the Warthog is close use the stomp ability. | *The Mantis is very deadly to [[M12 Warthog]]s.
