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.
- Using the Pistol Ammo Mutation mod will keep this gun from running dry for a longer period of time.
- Alternative for ammo mutation with high critical chance is Creeping Bullseye.
- Due to its decent critical potential, the Wraith Twin Vipers become a viable candidate for Critical builds; adding Pistol Gambit, Target Cracker, Barrel Diffusion and Lethal Torrent, coupled with its fast fire rate, can release a powerful blast of bullets in a short amount of time.
- When building with this weapon, it is recommended to install at least one Elemental mod or the Pistol Ammo Mutation, due to its initial Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. polarity.
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 and can use the Stinging Truth mod, granting the Viper a similar magazine size.
Trivia
- This is the third Wraith weapon released, and the first secondary Wraith weapon.
- Despite the weapon is released as a pair, it is still unknown if its single counterpart will be released as well.
- 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 all Wraith weapons, only the energy color can be changed. Other colors may be selected, but will not show on the weapon, unless said weapon possesses a skin.
- As of Update 22: Plains of Eidolon, all default skins of Vandal and Wraith weapons can be fully colored.
