Acquisition[]
This weapon was first obtainable by scoring at least 100 points in The Cicero Crisis event, complete with a free weapon slot and pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
The Twin Vipers Wraith was awarded again from an alert in The Proxy Rebellion Bonus Weekend.
The blueprint and parts were formerly a reward from the Ninth Season of Sorties; they can now be found as an Invasion reward. All components can be traded, although players must have a Mastery Rank of at least 7 to acquire the blueprint.
Characteristics[]
This weapon deals primarily Impact damage.
Advantages:
- High Impact damage – effective against shields.
- Tied with normal Twin Vipers for fastest fire rate of all secondaries.
- A polarity slot.
Disadvantages:
- Low Puncture and Slash damage – less effective against health.
- Low accuracy at anything past close range.
- Extremely ammo inefficient.
- Very fast fire rate results in frequent reloading.
Comparisons:
- Twin Vipers Wraith (Normal Attack), compared to Twin Vipers (Normal Attack):
- Lower base damage per projectile (14.00 vs. 15.00)
- Lower total damage (14 vs. 15)
- Lower average damage per tap (14 vs. 15)
- Lower burst DPS (350 vs. 375)
- Higher sustained DPS (155.55 vs. 134.61)
- Larger magazine (40 vs. 28)
- More shots per magazine (40 vs. 28)
- Smaller max ammo capacity (80 vs. 84)
- Less accurate (N/A vs. N/A)
- Higher Mastery Rank required (7 vs. 5)
Notes[]
- When compared to the single Viper, the Twin and Wraith Twin Vipers have much less accuracy and ammo efficiency. Both variants are more efficient against close range targets, but the normal Viper has decent accuracy.
Tips[]
- Tapping your trigger rather than holding it down will prevent overkill of targets.
- Furthermore, binding the scroll wheel on your mouse as an alternative firing control allows you to fire off one bullet at a time, and (to an extent) control the rate of fire.
Trivia[]
- This is the third Wraith weapon released, and the first secondary Wraith weapon.
- The single version is available from Baro Ki`Teer, from time to time.
- This is the first dual secondary that has been tweaked (via either Prime, Wraith, Vandal) beyond its standard construction.
- The patterns and color selection of the weapons share a very similar appearance to the Rubedo-Skinned version, which was the rarest possible Rubedo skin available.
- As with many other old Wraith and Vandal weapons, only the energy color could be changed. Other colors may be selected, but would not show on the weapon, unless said weapon possessed a skin.
- As of Update 22: Plains of Eidolon, all default skins of Vandal and Wraith weapons can be fully colored.
