Squad members do not take advantage of the Viper's full rate of fire and will instead fire a few shots at about the same rate of fire as they fire the M-6 Carnifex before going back to cover.

This works especially well against large or slow targets like krogan, Scions, YMIR Mechs, and gunships where the loss of stability from fully automatic fire doesn't result in missed shots.

If you are able to maintain the full rate of fire on a target without exposing yourself to too much return damage, the Viper can actually out-damage most other weapons at range against armored targets, especially if landing headshots.

While not as efficient as the M-92 Mantis or M-98 Widow in the role of soft-target interdiction, the M-97 Viper can still kill lower ranked enemies with two or three shots to the head.

Despite having automatic fire it's not a good idea to shoot this weapon 'from the hip,' because like all sniper rifles, the Viper suffers a huge accuracy penalty when firing non-scoped shots out of cover.

Similar to the M-100 Grenade Launcher, the Viper can actually fire much faster if the trigger is repeatedly pressed as opposed to held down.

These factors recommend against using the Viper for one-shot kills at higher difficulties it is better suited to serving as a marksman rifle.

While the M-97 Viper does less damage per shot than the M-92 Mantis, it features automatic fire, a twelve round clip and a relatively large spare ammo capacity.

Squadmates deal 35% less damage than Shepard. This weapon can be used by Garrus, Legion, Thane, and Zaeed. If the weapon is not picked up at any of these locations, it will be awarded at the end of the mission. If missed, it can be also acquired later in the same mission, next to the Comm Terminal just before going to the roof. The rifle is in a dead-end corridor, to the right of the elevator, when your back is against its door. The M-97 can be found during Thane's recruitment mission, near the service elevator that takes you to the bridge. While kinetic barriers still offer some protection from this weapon, its sheer power and rapid rate of fire make it capable of quickly killing almost any target, regardless of its defenses.

Rosenkov Materials developed this deadly weapon in response to the rising prevalence of kinetic barriers. Very effective against armor somewhat effective against shields and biotic barriers. Incredibly accurate and deadly at long range, these weapons are popular amongst infiltrators and assassins.
