Vyper is a Hero in Deadlock. After Slithering across the battlefield to swiftly avoid enemy attacks while spraying them with copious amount of bullets, Vyper can inject retreating foes with Lethal Venom to finish them off and use her Screwjab Dagger to hit faraway targets. By slinging her Petrifying Bolas, Vyper will make sure that her targets won't get away from her.

Vyper is an impulsive outlaw that gets thrown in jail as many times as she escapes it, building a reputation among a number of criminal allies and enemies across the New Jersey Tri-State Area.

Vyper was added to Hero Labs as "Viper" on October 24, 2024, and officially released on January 17, 2025.

Backstory

[edit | edit source]

See Vyper/Lore for more story content.

When it comes to breaking the law, not getting caught is a pretty important part of the job. Vyper never got that memo. Luckily for her, if there’s one thing she’s better at than being arrested, it’s escaping out of jail.

Having done time in every major prison in the tri-state area, Vyper has built an impressive network of street level lowlifes that owe her one. She’s also built an impressive network of street level lowlifes that want her dead, but she tries to focus on the positive.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Vyper's current appearance is a modified version of Neon Prime's Kali. Vyper's files also replaced some of Kali's original files.
  • Vyper's lead developer is Hopoo,[3] best known as the co-creator of the Risk of Rain series.
  • A work-in-progress Vyper redesign model was leaked in May 2025. This model had a Cobra hood, a snake body instead of legs, no clothes, and a "WIP" sticker on the back.
    • Ironically, real vipers don't have a hood.
  • Before the 2025-10-02 Update, Vyper was the only hero who started with an unlocked ability by default (Slither).
  • According to her voice actress Stephanie Kerbis, Vyper is "not from Wisconsin or New Jersey".[1]
  • "Making Pruno in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Vyper in the Hideout.
