Our take on the Viper Desperado Tungsten Soft Tip Darts 18Gm

The Viper Desperado is a three-dart soft-tip set built around 80/20 tungsten barrels, which pack more weight into a slimmer profile than brass or nickel-silver darts. Knurled barrels and coated grip points give a secure hold, and the 18-gram weight suits electronic boards and players moving up from lighter starter darts. The set ships with two sets of flights, a hard case and an accessory pouch, so it works as a self-contained kit. Against plain brass soft-tip sets it offers denser tungsten and better grip; against premium tungsten darts it sits in the mid range, with aluminum shafts that some players replace with nylon.

Questions and answers

Are these darts good for an electronic dartboard?
Yes. They use 2BA soft tips, the standard for electronic boards, and the 18-gram weight is within the range most boards accept.
What is the difference between 80/20 tungsten and brass darts?
Tungsten is denser, so an 80/20 barrel is slimmer at the same weight. That lets you group darts more tightly than with thicker brass barrels.
What comes in the box?
Three 18-gram soft-tip darts, two sets of flights, a Desperado hard case and an accessory pouch.
Can I change the weight or shafts?
The barrels are fixed at 18 grams, but the aluminum shafts unscrew and can be replaced with other 2BA shafts, including nylon.
Do the soft tips need replacing?
Yes. Soft tips blunt with use and should be swapped when they stop sticking cleanly; spares are inexpensive and widely sold.
