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 Nemesis AR performs similarly to the O.X.R. Rifle, as they share a similar fire rate, damage, and bloom, so the Nemesis AR should be treated in a similar manner.
  • The Nemesis AR comes with an Angled Foregrip Angled Foregrip prefixed by default, which is useful for dealing with retreating opponents due to its faster ADS speed.
  • The Nemesis AR still has good accuracy when moving, so it allows you to be more aggressive by jumping or strafing compared to other Assault Rifles.

Counters[]

  • In close range, due to its lower DPS, the Nemesis AR can be heavily overwhelmed by faster firing rifles such as the Striker AR or Combat Assault Rifle, making using said weapons against an enemy with the Nemesis AR highly beneficial.
