How to unlock the Defanged achievement in Titanfall 2 - Definitive Guide
Highly recommend taking out the scorch titans first & AT A DISTANCE. (Northstar works well here.)
After they are destroyed, start hitting Viper & move forward to trigger a checkpoint.
(use cover and strafe left & right during his missile barrage) You'll want to have a solid amount of life left at this point.
I suggest using the Expedition Loadout and spamming the lock on missiles (RB) in between volleys use your primary to keep shields down.
Once your core is charged switch over to the Tone Loadout for the Salvo Core. Unleash! Then swap back to Expedition missile spamming.
Rinse & repeat.
I tried all sorts of loadout combos and this particular one melted Viper in one run.
Story related, cannot be missed.
Cooper's Logbook:
The Draconis is making a beeline for the full scale Fold Weapon, with the Ark on board. We're going after it using some commandeered IMC transports. These Widows are fast, but so is the Draconis. Sarah says it's not over yet - this fight's about to go airborne.

Defeating Viper:
Viper pilots the Northstar Titan Loadout and he's considered the hardest boss fight in the game. Viper is capable of aerial maneuvering as he is always airborne throughout the entire fight. This makes it very difficult to target him or track where he's going sometimes. There are numerous ways to go about defeating Viper's Northstar Titan, but I personally recommend using the Expedition Titan Loadout. Do not use the Vortex Shield [] as it makes you an open target, instead I suggest you hide in the very back of the ship behind one of the gun platforms (I used the right side gun platform). You can use these for cover while you aim at Viper with your Machine Gun. Use the Multi-Target Missile System [] to take down Viper's shields and harm his Health Bar whenever possible!
It should be noted that Viper isn't alone as he comes with Scorch Titan guards. Take these Scorch Titans out immediately before they get too close to your location. I personally recommend using your own Scorch Titan Loadout to deal with the two Scorch Titans [use Firewall]. Once they have been dealt with, return your attention back onto Viper as you now have a checkpoint. Whenever you have Viper's shields depleted and you have a Titan Core. Try using the Burst Core or Laser Core (Ion Titan Loadout) to inflict extreme damage (you'll be vulnerable if you do this). If you need Titan Batteries, search the top of the ship's deck for Batteries to restore your Health Bar. Last of all, if Viper is going to use his Flight Core Ability; it's best to switch to the Ronin Titan Loadout and press for the Phase Dash. This will make you immune to the incoming Flight Core Ability. If you cannot use this ability, you'll have to shift to the left or right continuously using the Dash [] until the Flight Core Ability ends.
I tried it with a machine gun - only tears (we are talking about the “Master” level)
hide behind the shields and shoot with a sniper rifle)
