The Nemesis is a pearlescent pistol manufactured by Hyperion.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Weapon Effects

There is no escape - Shock 3x / x4, procs adds additional corrosive projectiles, fixed pattern.

Notes

  • Unlike other repeaters which proc only as x2 (the Maliwan Firehawk being the other exception), the Nemesis can proc anywhere from x1 to the gun's actual multiplier, i.e. x3 or x4. The number of corrosive projectiles which accompany the main shock bullet is the multiplier which triggered during that shot, i.e. anywhere from 1 to 4 projectiles for x1 to x4 procs respectively.
    • x1 - One at the bottom
    • x2 - Two at the sides
    • x3 - Two at the sides, one at the bottom
    • x4 - Two at the sides, one each at the bottom and top
  • the additional corrosive projectiles appears to apply the weapon's listed damage
  • Mordecai's Gun crazy skill also affects the additional corrosive projectiles, meaning 10 bullets is fired on a x4 proc
  • The diamond pattern is similar to that of the S&S Orion, but the Orion always procs maximum.
  • May come with the Hyperion Invader sight, which unloads the entire magazine when scoped.

Drop Guide

The Nemesis has a chance to drop from Badass Defenders and Badass Infantry. Like all pearlescents, the Nemesis can also be dropped from Crawmerax and found in Crimson Lance weapon chests.

Trivia

  • The name Nemesis is a reference to the boss monster Nemesis from the game Resident Evil 3.
    • The flavor text is a reference to a line from one of the characters in the game, Brad Vickers.[1]
  • The name Nemesis may also be a reference to the mythological ancient Greek spirit of divine retribution whose name means "goddess of revenge". Nemesis is known throughout history by many iterations, one of which is Adrasteia, which translates to "one from whom there is no escape".
