The Tainted Hearts and the Viper Cell don't usually get along together but there're times when the two could sit down and co-produce another insidious weapon for the Chimera cause. The Virus is one of them. The Tainted Hearts provide the assassins while the Viper Cell provide the weapons. Viruses are genetically and cybernetically altered females who master in marksmanship. Designed to be some of the Chimera's finest assassins, they're armed with scopeless Dart Guns which they fire with the aid of a bionic right eye. Limited in range compared to true snipers, they make up for this short coming with their effect on infantry. The ammo they fire are darts containing a toxin which quickly invades the host's body, rapidly producing huge sores and blisters throughout the body. Once they've reached critical mass, the whole body explodes releasing poisonous gases which can infect any unprotected infantry exposed to it. The gas only lingers around for a short while as the bacteria die out when exposed to the air. Deadly against most kinds of infantry, Viruses are vulnerable against nearly everything else. They also excel at long range, thus close quarters combat should be avoided. Experienced Viruses are usually given a new bionic eye which enable them to zoom into further targets, making them much more effective long range assassins.
