Viper lineups on Bind map for post-plant, anti-plant, and more in Valorant
1) Viper lineup on Bind for the A Short Poison Orb
This Viper lineup on Bind, which puts the Poison Orb to defend A Short, can be performed in the Buy Phase from the Defenders' spawn. By using this lineup you get enough time to set up your Viper wall on the B site during the Buy Phase and defend both sites on Bind.
To perform this Viper lineup on Bind, carefully go through the guide below:
During the Buy Phase of the round, stand close to the wall against the drums and cones in the Defenders spawn area.
Align the top-right corner of your Poison Bar with the lower portion of the dark brick beneath the arches on the wall ahead. Then perform a quick jump throw by simultaneously pressing your Jump key and left-click.
2) Best post-plant Viper lineup on Bind for A site
Get into the corner created by the stacked boxes along the wall in the A Short area on Bind. Do not step up onto the boxes. Once you're in position, ready your Snake Bite by aiming your crosshair at the bend in the railing atop A Lamps and use left-click to throw the Viper molly on the bomb.
This Viper molly is designed to be quickly thrown to deny Defenders any chance to defuse the Spike planted in the default spot on the A site. With this Snake Bite lineup, you can provide maximum support to your teammates in the post-plant scenario since you stay close to the action.
3) Best post-plant Viper lineup on Bind for B site
This Snake Bite lineup presents a challenging situation for Defenders attempting to defuse the Spike planted on the B site. The way the game renders the area of effect of this Snake Bite makes it difficult to determine if it reaches the Spike from this angle.
If Defenders indeed fall into the trap and believe that the lineup was missed, they will suffer the double damage debuff upon coming into contact with the Viper molly.
To perform this Viper lineup on Bind, carefully go through the guide below:
Stand in front of the left flower vase in B Hookah and face the B site.
Equip the Snake Bite and position the left end of the rightmost heads-up display (HUD) line to the spot where the floor tile's crack meets the edge of the brown carpet underneath you. Use left-click to throw the Viper molly onto the Spike.
4) Anti-plant Viper lineup on Bind
Utilizing Poison Orb and Snake Bite in tandem during attack-side post-plants to thwart a defender attempting to defuse the Spike may appear typical to many players. However, this strategy, involving Viper's abilities, can also be effectively employed on defense to prevent Attackers from planting the Spike.
This represents the updated strategy for playing Viper on Bind. On this map, her role involves anchoring the B site while maintaining the ability to influence the round should the Attackers opt for the A site.
To initiate this play, you'll need to follow a series of steps and consider a few scenarios. Therefore, carefully go through the guide below:
Step 1: Putting the Poison Orb on the A site Spike plant zone

To land this Viper orb onto the A site Spike plant zone, stand close to the wall, against the drums and cones in the Defenders spawn area during the Buy Phase of the round. By using this lineup, you get enough time to set up your Viper wall on the B site during the Buy Phase.
Align the top-right section of your Poison Bar with the top vertice of the black triangle on the protruding ledge. Then, perform a quick jump throw by simultaneously pressing your Jump key and left-click.
Step 2: Throwing the Snake Bite on the A site Spike plant zone
This Snake Bite is designed for use when holding the B site. However, when anchoring a site, many scenarios can affect your decision to defend a specific map area on Bind.

Prepare to position your crosshair at the bottom-left corner of the distant solar panel as the round commences and the barriers drop.

As you run, wait until your crosshair aligns with the top edge of the grey structure beneath the solar panel before left-clicking to deploy the Viper molly.
