InThe Division 2 now has an exotic sniper rifle. Or at least some parts for it. You should get these parts this week.
What weapon is it? The exotic weapon is called Nemesis and is a sniper rifle. This weapon has been in the game since the latest Update Tidal Basin. At least in theory.
Currently, you can only obtain 2 required components of this weapon. One of them you should grab this week, as you may otherwise have to wait longer for the next opportunity.
Nemesis Exotic cannot be crafted yet
How do you get the required parts? The parts for the Nemesis exotic can be found at the strongholds.
But this only works if they are strongholds that have been infiltrated by Black Tusk. Of the total 4 strongholds, only Tidal Basin is permanently infiltrated by Black Tusk.
The status of the remaining 3 rotates weekly. Currently, the Capitol is occupied by Black Tusk.
This is how you get the first part for the Nemesis Exotic:
- Complete Tidal Basin and reach World Tier 5
- Play Tidal Basin again. During the mission, you will come to a point where you can enter a two-story building. There is a huge satellite dish on the building.
- There you will find a keycard on the second floor. This can be used later during the mission.
- Continue playing the stronghold normally until you reach the big hovercraft of Black Tusk. In the ship, you must eliminate some enemies waiting in the first room.
- Then follow the quest marker, but pay attention to a door on your left side. You can open this with the keycard.
- Inside the room, there is a weapon crate from which you will get the Adrestia SR1, a named high-end weapon.
- Disassemble this weapon and you will receive the first part for the exotic weapon: Sniper Scope – The Kerbstock.
The description of the scope also tells you how to get the other parts.
This is how to get the remaining components for the weapon: You must take down the Black Tusk bosses of the 3 other strongholds. This means that you
- District Union Arena
- Roosevelt Island
- Capitol
must complete if they are currently infiltrated by Black Tusk. This week it’s the Capitol’s turn. There you will receive the barrel of the exotic, “the Scourge”.

That’s why you should hurry: Complete the Capitol this week to get the respective part. Next week, another stronghold will be available.
If you miss the infiltrated Capitol this week, you may have to wait several weeks to get all parts and craft the sniper rifle.
Until when do you have time? According to the in-game timer, the operation zone invasions reset every Thursday morning, probably during the weekly maintenance.
You can also watch the individual steps for the first parts in this video by Holy_13 Gaming:
Will the Nemesis Exotic replace the Model 700 as the strongest sniper?
What can the Exotic do? So far, there is no official data on this. According to data miner spydr101, the single-shot rifle has a significantly higher base damage than the currently strongest sniper rifle Model 700.
- In the data miner’s document, the exotic weapon has a base damage of 265525 – 324534,
- while the Model 700 has a damage of 89313 – 109161.
While the data is impressive, assuming they are correct. How the weapon performs in gameplay and if there are any drawbacks to the extremely high damage remains to be seen. Additionally, it is unclear what talents the weapon possesses.
What else has changed with the last update, you can read in the highlights of the patch notes. There were also some nerfs and balance changes that players are not entirely satisfied with.
With the last update, a new exotic LMG also came to The Division 2:
