Viper Wraiths: Whats your opinion on them?

[Skeelton The Skeleton]

I used them alot and got them to rank 30 a week ago, but they runout of ammo so quickly even with an 90% boost to ammo, but they are awesome against corpus. Overall I'd say they're pretty good, no where near OP, but good none the less. Whats your opinion of them?

[Zero Honour]

A 90% boost to ammo capacity doesn't really help in the long run, need pistol ammo mutation and pistol ammo scavenger to really be viable. Unfortunately thats two mod slots that could be better used for other things. Certainly not OP at all, Dual Vasto and Dual Bolto probably superior all round.

Good fun tho.

They're not the best, but they're definitely more than viable if modded properly. The low recoil was a pleasant surprise. They feel much steadier than the normal twin vipers and much more viable at mid-range than I expected.

They're a solid addition to any armory, especially those who are still working on building up their arsenal. If you don't use them now, stash them for a while until they inevitably rebalance the weapons.

Bullet hose. That is all.

theyre good, just very ammo inefficent.

Also, due to their insanely high DPS, I consider them A LITTLE BIT overpowered, but it's balanced by the fact that ammo dries up extremely fast.
Still pack them once in a while when I just want to mess stuff up though :3

Team ammo restores; spam them.

adter the first day of them releasing, I had four forma on mine. They are unrivaled when going for DPS against a single target, and modded correctly, can 3 shot any enemy at level 30 or more. Just learn to EXTREME tap fire. any more than a single click, and you will use 10 ammo.

thanks for the feed back guys :)

Me and my clanmates got the IAHBraton and the twin vipers almost at the same time. We did not have catalysts and we were still building our labs, so it was a huge boost and the first weapons we had with potato. I think that they are a great improvement over a non potatoed weapon (dat kunai/despair though!), and although akvasto (I have them) can be more powerful, for all players who had recently started are a great boost (just now after ~170 hours of gameplay I'm starting to have 'spare' formas).

As people have said, they engulf ammo pretty fast, but they are a good damage sidearm, and they definitively shred almost anything to pieces. I like to use them with ammo efficient main weapons, they are very good for capture targets but you won't like to pair them with high-damage-low-dps weapons like bows, snipers n ♥♥♥♥. That's my opinion

And a great opinion indeed :)

Latron Prime, Ogris, Penta, Torid... Pretty much any Single-Shot/Semi-Automatic Primary that uses the regular Rifle Ammo Pool.
