Viper can be unlocked at the rank of Second Lieutenant/I from the Shop. In theBlack Market she can be hired for 3,900 NX for a 7-day period, and 7,900 NX for a 30-day period. She can also be received permanently from opening Black HiSec Cases (though the chance is very slim).

Trivia

 * Viper's unique Specialist trait is that she is very quick, with an astounding natural stamina.
 * Viper is the most used Specialist in the game.
 * Viper is currently the fastest female Mercenary/Specialist.
 * Like Scorpion and Hawk, Viper is often looked down upon due to the boosts she provides. Many believe that they cause an imbalance in-game.
 * Many players have criticized about Viper's unfair speed advantage; With some of the newer equipment, however, one can easily match her speed.
 * Viper and Scorpion seem to have a brother/sister relationship, as opposed to a serious one.
 * Viper plays an important role in the Combat Arms Quarantine Trailer. She is one of two Specialists (along with Scorpion) to be assaulted by the Infected. While covering Scorpion, she is ambushed by several Infected from behind. To prevent her from becoming Infected, Scorpion then mercy-kills her with his PP-19.
 * In the Trailer, she doesn't become Infected right away, similar to the Mercenaries from Cabin Fever. Whether this is because she is genetically enhanced or simply for dramatic effect is unknown, but it contrasts what happens in Quarantine.
 * According to Nexon, she is 28 years old, one year younger than Scorpion. This indicates that Scorpion may be slightly more experienced than she is.
 * Viper and Scorpion both have their camouflage flaws. While they both wear black body-suits, Scorpion's grey armor contrasts too much, and Viper shows off too much skin.
 * Viper is very similar to Zero Suit Samus from the Metroid series, as they are both female, suit-wearing Mercenaries.
 * Viper is often complimented in-game and in several forums for her "stylish" looks.
 * Viper is the first female character to have her cleavage exposed.
 * Viper is portrayed much like an Anime character, with a very buxom physique.
 * Viper appears to be wearing her own cross between some special Sports Shades and a Comm-link.
 * Viper is the most picked because she has a very slim physique that makes it hard to shoot at along with the speed and stamina.
