Nemesis Burst AR

The **Nemesis Burst AR**, or **Nemesis**, is an assault rifle introduced in  Season 16 that utilizes  Energy Ammo. It fires in a 4-round burst but, unlike other burst weapons, the Nemesis keeps firing as long as the trigger is held, rather than being required to pull the trigger every time.

The Nemesis has an energy meter which fills up as the weapon is fired; the fire rate of the weapon will increase relative to the charge. Each burst fired will add 16.5% charge whether or not any targets are hit. After 5 seconds without being fired, charge decreases by 15% per second.

### Datamined and Leaked Data

The Nemesis got initially leaked in both the  Evolution Collection Event trailer and the patch notes for the September 14, 2021 Patch, appearing in the list of purchasable  Arenas weapons using the R-301 Carbine icon as a placeholder. It has been confirmed by a developer that this leak was accidental, and that the weapon is "not releasing anytime soon".

The Nemesis Burst AR reappeared in another leak still using the R-301 as placeholder, this time without being compatible with  Standard Stocks, and using the  Auto fire mode, even though the latter seems to be a placeholder icon. The Nemesis also appeared with a charge bar, similar to the Sentinel and Rampage LMG, although its effects were unknown at the time, but it was known that it could be charged by simply firing the weapon.

On March 22, 2022, the Nemesis reappears once again, this time with a unique model and icon. Some of its stats were also shown, as well as being once again compatible with  Standard Stocks.

## Trivia

* The Nemesis bears a striking resemblance to the Splitter Rifle used by Ion-class Titans in *Titanfall 2*.
	+ A rare Nemesis full reload animation also references this.
* The name for the Nemesis' Twisted Transistor skin is a reference to a song of the same name by the nu metal band Korn from their 2005 album *See You on the Other Side*.
