Viper Gauntlets
Viper Gauntlets are the hand armor of the Viper School gear, added to The Witcher 3 with the Hearts of Stone expansion. They are medium armor, and their standout trait is a high resistance to poisoning.
A stronger legendary version of the Viper gear also exists. The matching chest piece is the Viper Armor.
The Viper blades that go with them are the Viper Venomous Steel Sword and Viper Venomous Silver Sword. The diagrams for the early Viper Steel Sword and Viper Silver Sword lie in White Orchard.
