For the pearlescent pistol in Borderlands, see Nemesis.

Nemesis is a legendary pistol in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Dahl. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Mouthpiece located in Ascension Bluff on Pandora.

Special Weapon Effects

A righteous infliction of retribution. – Chance to deal shock damage in addition to the primary element.

Usage & Description

The Nemesis' dual element effect reduces the need for a standalone shock weapon when facing shielded enemies. It can function as a substitute for Maliwan weapons without having to stop and toggle the element used but comes at the cost of the shock damage being randomly applied.

Notes

  • Shots from a Nemesis do not break lootable objects that have to be hit to be opened.

Trivia

  • The Nemesis is a returning weapon from Borderlands but as a legendary Dahl pistol instead of a pearlescent Hyperion pistol.
  • The flavor text is from the 2000 film Snatch, in which the character Brick Top gives the following quote:  "Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me."
