The Division 2 Best Sniper Rifle

Exotics in Division 2 are some of the best weapons and equipment available. These are also the most rare items in the game. Exotics are boss loot with particular abilities. In terms of weapons, the Nemesis is regarded as one of the best sniper rifles in The Division 2.

The Power of Nemesis

Each exotic comes with its own set of perks. The Nemesis has three perks to complement its already strong characteristics. These advantages contribute to the Nemesis being one of the best sniper builds in The Division 2. The Nemesis Sniper comes with the following perks:

Counter-Sniper

The shots fired will deal between 0 and 100% weapon damage, depending on how long the trigger is held down before the shot is released. The time it will take to reach the maximum damage output will be reduced each time a shot doesn’t kill an enemy that it hits.

Nemesis

Aiming at an enemy marks them as your nemesis for 15s, letting you see them through walls. Your shots gain +5% damage to your nemesis for each second they are marked, to a max of 50%.

Preparation

While holstered, gain: +25% headshot damage when scoped with your current weapon.
