Masked Viper

Masked Viper is one of the earliest bots added into offline play alongside Mike Hunter. He uses the Heavy Machine Gun and has higher health than most other bots due to his defence-enhancing equipment, but lower speed due to wielding the Heavy Machine Gun.

Appearances

• Combat Helmet, Always Ready and Woodland Camo Pants

• Black Mask, Heavy Armor and Heavy Armor Pants (this is his default appearance)

• Ballistic Face Mask, One Man Army and Armored Pants

Strategy

Masked Viper's damage-resistant armor makes him a complete bullet sponge, while his choice of weapon leaves him in the open for sniper fire and explosives. However, he compensates for this by being able to withstand a Bazooka or Howitzer shot that will lower his health down to around 10%, which he will then retreat. When threatened he will remain stationary or move backwards. A sniper's headshot is one of the most effective ways to get a 1-hit kill, as even a bullet sponge like him doesn't stand a chance against a direct headshot from a Sniper at full health. Due to the high ammo capacity of his weapon, the fury of bullets can kill unwary players, weakening bots like Mike Hunter in about 30 bullets.

If you wish to put an end to his terror though, bring weapons that deal high damage to quickly cut him down to size. For equipment, it is best to pick a suit that increases your health so you can withstand his fury, like the Combat Helmet or Always Ready armor, or one that increases your agility , like Vulcan Dynamite's Death Company and Mohawk, in order to outrun the bullets and Masked Viper himself. For newcomers, you might want to bring a few Medikits in case you need to hold out longer, or a grenade to soften Masked Viper up. For professionals though, gadgets won't be necessary as by then you would have acquired powerful weapons to end Masked Viper's dominance in the early stages. Either way, these methods should ensure that Masked Viper won't be killing you anymore.
