Tips

 * Using the Pistol Ammo Mutation mod can help regain lost ammo when needed. Alternatively, bring along Pistol Ammo Box.
 * Using short bursts of fire greatly improves accuracy and makes the weapon viable at medium medium-long distances. Although it is still advised to be used at close quarters.

Trivia

 * The Twin Vipers were released on April 12, 2013 with Update 7.7.3.
 * When carrying around a Data Unit, only a single Viper will be used, but its magazine size will remain the same (reload speed will be reduced however).
 * Each separate Viper has its own flashlight.
