4) Nemesis Burst AR
The Nemesis still remains one of the best weapons in Apex Legends Season 23. Despite numerous nerfs across different seasons, it has powered through and held its spot as one of the most powerful guns in the game.
Featuring a four-burst attack pattern, the Nemesis can easily three-shot a 200HP player. If you have great mechanical skills, we urge you to pick up this sharpshooting burst rifle.
Note that the Nemesis consumes a lot of ammo. As a result, it's recommended that you pick up an Assault Class character for their enhanced ammo-carrying capacity and head into the battlefield to wreak havoc.
