The Nemesis is a brand new energy weapon for Apex Legends Season 16. EA devs said they are “tuning this one hot” to compete with the likes of the R-301 and the Flatline. We got a glimpse of the new gun in theApex Legends Revelrylaunch trailer.
“Meet the Nemesis, a new energy class assault rifle that fires four rounds per burst.

EA have confirmed that Season 16 will be the first season to not include a new Legend. Instead they have put their focus on reworking existing legends.
