"Thanks to sound military tactics and the fierce loyalty of its soldiers, the Viper organization rose to power—squashing all who tried to stand in the way."[1]
Viper Organization is an organization that control one of the Realms within the Nexus.
Background
The terrorist organization Viper wasn’t the only criminal paramilitary outfit that had desired to conquer the world, but they were the first to accomplish their sinister goals. Using unbelievable technological advances alongside ruthless tactics, they waged war on the world at large for two decades. Now, Viper serves as the united world government’s leadership and military arm, ensuring the populace remains complacent by stamping out insurrections wherever they might take root.
Despite this, a secret resistance formed in the shadows, and are fighting back for the United States.

Trivia
- The preview video for the original skin set ends with a mysterious, unidentified figure punching the screen with the three agents on it, knocking down a picture of a little girl. This turns out to have been Blaze, setting up the sequel for next year.
- Motif wise, Viper resembles both Cobra from G.I. Joe and the Brotherhood of Nod from Command and Conquer. Their troopers resemble those used by Talon in Overwatch.
- The morse code during the end of the "Join the Resistance" trailer is "••• - •- -•-- •- •-- •••• •• •-•• • •- -• -•• •-•• •• ••• - • -•" which translates to "Stay A While And Listen".
