just a surface level guess but viper haven implies second controller which means you are either playing solo initiator or no sentinel
so i guess think of ways to play around those weaknesses (less info from initiators and stuff like kj turret/cypher cam)
also find some way to counter the A lurk wall by pushing early or some form of info there, like cypher cam or sova dart
Viper on haven makes your defaults a lot better on tside (wall cuts info on A) and makes your postplants better if you can get in the site and plant with viper orb CT + molly the retake becomes super hard (viper ult compounds on this strength)
Defensively viper allows for floods to happen a lot easier with the smoke on A / wall C and also helps continuously stall throughout a round by way of reusing fuel
The downsides is that viper makes your Tside a lot less explosive since you usually give up your breach to play viper (flashless comp/solo init is hard to exec fast with), you basically have to default well every round
Same thing on ct, full set retakes are a lot weaker because you no longer have a breach who can get you back in the dite, the viper comp relies a lot on good map reads and flooding if you can’f defend the site
On attack viper A presence scares the defenders a bunch and they have to push out of sewers or they have to commit at least 2 players on A
But teams used to run a skye with the viper comp but skye is dogshit
