The Garstini Viper .50AE is a secondary pistol in PAYDAY 3, added as part of the Fear & Greed Weapon Pack DLC.

Overview

The Garstini Viper .50AE is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .50AE.

With high armour penetration, damage and a decent ammo pickup rate, the pistol is capable of penetrating the window of a Shield unit easily, resulting in one-shot kills to the head for most police units. In fact, the pistol's damage and armor penetration is so powerful that it can kill Bulldozers to the head in one or two magazines. With attachments and skills that synergises with the Edge, Grit and Rush temporary buffs, the Garstini Viper can prove to be an immensely powerful pistol capable of even one-shotting enemies to the chest. Its range is also impressive, being able to take out snipers in 1-2 shots depending on how far the sniper is, making this a reliable secondary if using a shotgun primary.

Despite the powerful nature of the Garstini Viper .50AE, it suffers from a low magazine capacity. slow firerate and low reload speed, necessitating careful aiming and ammo preservation. As such, going after Bulldozers is extremely risky as every shot counts - one miss could be fatal. Additionally, although the Garstini Viper can be equipped with a silencer attachment, it requires the weapon to be levelled up to Level 11 to be equipped.
