Duel viper vs single – im not convinced that the duel vipers I spent a fortune on crafting are really better than the single viper, in fact I think I prefer the single.



Viper play is about running into mid/short range and emptying a clip into an enemy which should then be more holes than not holes = dead. Single viper does this well, and even works well at longer range with aim up and burst fire (firing in short bursts, not holding fire to empty clip). Problem is duel vipers kills a target no problem but not quite as efficently. Much lower accuracy means you have to fire closer range, and it’s harder to get headshots. Yes it will certainly waste the target, but the single viper would as well, at that only uses half the rounds and reloads miles faster.



So now im trying to burst fire the duel vipers so as to get a few kills out of the mag instead of emptying it all into one enemy which is overkill.



Suppose duel vipers powered up might waste a strong infected enemy that would take a reload on the single viper, but firing two mags on the single viper thanks to it’s short reload, vs firing one mag and reloading on the duel vipers, is probably about the same time.



So for me the single is easier to use as you don’t need to worry about ammo, have longer range and don’t need reload mod, and thanks to fast reload and headshots probably does the same dps.



Have to go build and level a 3rd viper now, great  J
