Viper Thrusters are a Titan Kit used by the Northstar that can be used to increase their movement speed while using VTOL Hover and Flight Core.
The kit has the following effects:
- VTOL Hover max speed is increased by 33%.
- Flight Core max speed is increased by 60%.
- Matches sprinting speed.
Viper Thrusters is almost universally considered to be Northstar's most powerful kit on most maps. It enables Northstar to use Hover as a horizontal movement tool rather than a purely poking and map traversal tool. For VTOL Hover, it allows Northstar to maintain top speed while keeping Railgun charged during retreats, evasive maneuvers, pushes, etc. For Flight Core, the speed drastically increases the core's chasing ability, allowing Northstar to stay on top of her target and land her rockets more easily.
However, Viper Thrusters should not be used on maps with obtrusive ceilings or obstacles where VTOL Hover and Flight Core are stifled, such as Complex.
Trivia[]
- Being called "Viper" Thrusters suggests that Viper's modified Northstar may use them.
