Tips Which You Must Know
Play An Assault Legend
Apex’s new class system has changed the way players interact with various in-game items, like care packages and Survet Peacons. The Assault class is one of the two legend classes that have two class perks (the other being the controller class).
Legends can interact with Weapon Supply Bins, new red loot boxes that are spread across each map and contain Smart Loot.
More like the IMC Armories on Storm Point, Weapon Supply Bins have a Smart Loot System from which players can only receive loot they can use, like attachements of that particular gun they are using.
In the second Assault class perk, they allow players to carry an extra stack of 20 ammo in their backpack, which is something every player will take advantage. Due to the fact this weapon is most effective when warmed up players will definitely take this as an advantage and carry extra ammo so that they fire Nemesis longer and more often than other weapons.


Try Not To Frequently Fire
As this gun gives its full potential when it is warmed up, make sure you are at that situation. Suppose you are at a situation where your squad is camping somewhere and you fire your gun to make it warm. Then things will not go as you think so, the unique sound effects of this gun will definitely carry enemies to your position and you will be caught off-guard so don’t fire until you are engaged with an enemy.
But if you find yourself in the middle of a battle with multiple squads all along then firing Nemesis with an extra shot to keep it warm will definitely give you an advantage. A warmed Nemesis is more deadly than other guns and can knock out multiple enemies within as short period of time. Just make sure you’re not in the middle of reloading your gun when you are in between multiple squads fighting with each other.
Try To Look For Long Range!


Nemesis is best known for its flexibility in combat. When it comes to sights, Nemesis can use almost all off them. The close-range sight which can’t be equipped is of the 1X Digital Threat Sight. Every other close and mid-range sight can be equipped such as the 2x-4x Variable AOG, which gives players the ability to take out an enemy from a great distance. The only long-range weapon attachments of this gun can’t be used like the 6x Sniper, the 4x-8x Variable Sniper, and the 4x-10x Digital Sniper Threat Sights.
But despite all of this, Nemesis isn’t a sniper rifle. So you better prefer using long-range weapons to take out long-range targets. But if you find yourself somewhere where you haven’t any sniper and you’re getting hit by the enemy, then you can use the mid-range scope in your Nemesis. Nemesis is incredibly convenient to use with a mid-range scope, so make sure your backpack has enough mid-range scope to deal with this situation. Use a 3x-4x sight scope at that situation and start taking out your enemies from a safe distance.
Keep A Good Control
Nemesis can be a bit hard to control when it comes with a purple Barrel Stabilizer and Standard Stock equipped. The weapon tends to drift up and recoil a lot when firing which comes to be a difficult job for players to control. To be the best in the control, visiting the Firing Range is the best way to practice and to improve your skill. Use the settings menu to customize manually as per your choice. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to become the best one in the squad and to compete with other pro players.
Play It Smartly
As we have mentioned earlier, the game’s Weapon Supply Bins are the benefit for Nemesis users, making the Assault rifle the best with pairing with these items. The new smart Loot feature which includes different loots make it easier for players to access the attachments you’ll need to make the most of Nemesis. But if you hate playing Assault legends and want to proceed with a legend from a different class, you’ll still want to access Strom Point’s IMC Armories whenever you can, as clearing out an armory will unlock Supply Bins that also use the Smart Loot system.
Fight Strongly In Death Matches
Though the recent upgrade of the Firing Range dummies has improved their performance, but the best way to practice is to practice with actual humans. You can also bring your friends to the Firing Range and turn on the friendly fire setting. Practicing daily will get you up to the mark, your goal is to get up close with the enemy and to deal a perfect proper damage to your enemy, and the best way to be the best version of yourself is to just visit and spend some quality time fighting with others in the recently introduced team deathmatch mode game.
Though there’s not enough opportunity for long-range combat practice in TDM, but still you can make it. As Nemesis is the best combat Assault gun it will shine in TDM also. You can also change your loadout option in TDM so that you won’t always have the access to Nemesis in this mode. This Assault gun is ideal and you will get your enemies firing like they are Firing Range dummies. Just make sure you are not in front of any player with the Nemesis otherwise it will hit you hard and fast. Engaging with enemies in TDM matches will end up being you as a pro player.
Once you will get a good command in this gun, you will start to notice things will be going to change around you. As this gun has the ability to engage enemies in both close quarters and at a distance makes it truly shines among the others. Your spell with the Nemesis will surely be a nightmare for your enemies once you get a good command in this gun.Apex Legends which is a free-to-play battle-royale hero shooter game is available to play on both consoles and on pc.
