Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Brute Nemesis AR is a very easy to use weapon, with low recoil, high damage (even when not hitting headshots), and a decent performance at most ranges.
  • The Brute Nemesis AR comes prefixed with an Angled Foregrip, making it useful for dealing with retreating opponents due to its faster ADS speed.
  • The Nemesis AR has above-average accuracy while moving, so it allows you to be more aggressive by jumping or strafing compared to other rifles.

Counters[]

  • In close range, due to its slow firerate, the Nemesis AR can easily be overwhelmed by faster firing rifles such as the Combat Assault Rifle, making using said weapons against an enemy with the Brute Nemesis AR highly beneficial.
