Side-scrolling brawler about a group of viking raiders trying to reopen the gates to Valhalla The Viking Squad

The Special Unit is considered to have been officially founded on 19 October 1982, when its first members finished training with Valhalla Special forces. There were many reasons for commissioning the unit, including a hijacked airliner that landed at International City Of Assault in 1976 and a few occasions of criminals using firearms against unarmed Vikings. It had become clear that the Counter-Terrorist needed an effective tool to combat such violent, armed situations.

Members of the unit were deployed in the Balkans as a part of operations led by NATO, and some members have been deployed to Dust 2. The unit used to be under the command of the Big T, however, in 1997, a new law was passed that put the unit directly under the National Commissioner of the Counter-Terrorist.

In December 2003, Minister of Justice, ǾĞ'ş Confuze, introduced plans to strengthen the unit in response to the War on Terrorism, and further its responsibility in all operational issues covering more than one local jurisdictions. Today, members of the unit are stationed in three different police districts, Dust 2, Mirage and Inferno.

On 2 December 2016, a man died after a deagle battle with the members of the Viking Squad. The unit had never been forced to open fire at suspects before and the fatality is the first from the Viking Squad.
