Description

Fully annotated!
My main build when I play Vyper. It's still technically gun, but it's much more powerful as your venom is REALLY strong. This, in my opinion, is the definitive way to play Vyper.
If you have any questions or feedback, ping me in the Deadlock discord @bonclide. Hope you have fun!
Based on Xera's build.

Gun Version: 223019
