About this mod
The Mantis armor: iconic in story, forgettable in style. This replacer upgrades it with 510deshawn’s IW Phantom set — dark, clean, lethal. Includes a fixed flashlight position for 3rd person and an optional patch for the original IW mod.

IW Phantom – Mantis Armor Replacer
“I always thought the Mantis questline in Starfield was one of the most iconic and engaging parts of the game... but when I opened the vault and finally saw the armor? Yeah... kind of a letdown.” -MostStarfieldPlayers
This mod gives the Mantis armor the presence it deserves — by replacing its default mesh with the sleek, tactical, and beautifully detailed IW Phantom armor brought to Starfield from COD: Infinite Warfare by 510deshawn.
It keeps the lore, the power, the identity — just swaps in a better silhouette.
✨ Features
Final Notes
Full credits go to 510deshawn and those who assisted on his project as it wouldn't have been possible without this mod. He's also got a bunch of other awesome mods so I definitely recommend you check it out.
This mod likely won't get ongoing updates or changes as I'm just uploading because I did this for my own game and thought there might be others who appreciate this.
Thanks everyone, hope you like it!

🎮 In-Game Notes
- This is a mesh replacer — so it affects the Mantis armor everywhere it's used.
- You can find the armor by completing the Mantis questline, or spawning it via console.
- Flashlight beam is properly aligned in both 1st and 3rd person views. I fixed it to a part of the helmet that made the most sense to me.
