The Manatee is a secret vehicle that can only be found in Junk Flea 2, Oil Rig, Gray Hammer, Two Towers, quarantined Warhead, and the Glitch Map.

Overview
Not much is known about this elusive mount, though it is rumored to be exceedingly fast. Comparatively, it performs on par with the speeder bike, the TIE fighter, and even the famed tauntaun.

The only vehicle that can outclass the Manatee is the Gundam (00 Wing Zero Strike Unicorn of Freedom), by a slim margin of +14% in speed.

With a state-of-the-art defense system and relentless heavy-weapons support, the Manatee easily ranks among the highest class of vehicles in the game.

Tactics
For those that have the weapon:  For those who encounter someone with this weapon:
 * Because of its highly-balanced statistics, it doesn't take much effort to use this weapon in order to decimate your foes. You don't need to aim as carefully because of the auto lock-on feature of the weapon's scope and the heat-seeking ammo that it fires. Technically speaking, you don't even need to aim at ALL.
 * For stealth missions, the silencer easily makes the Manatee Rifle an efficient assassination machine due to the noiselessly violent nature of the weapon, on Tuesdays in particular.


 * It is advised that you run.

Trivia

 * Together with the Manatee, this weapon makes up the (in)famous Manatee set.
 * The Manatee Rifle is the first soundless primary weapon in the game. Before it was released, only knives and grenades had this honor (and even then, those items had sound effects such as the pin being pulled or a swish of the blade).
 * The Manatee Rifle does not actually use mana in its attacks. It may, however, use essence of manatee.
 * Even across the largest maps, the Manatee Rifle has no damage drop whatsoever. In actuality, the weapon GAINS damage as the distance increases.
 * One of the many ways of gaining this weapon is through giving a Manatee that does not have a Blue Bucket a Bucket which is blue. This was discovered from the Combat Arms: Manatee Version files.
