The new Nemesis Star is a new exotic machine gun inDestiny: Rise of Iron.It deals solar damage, which is pretty popular this expansion, and is a heavy weapon. Its main perk is called Extinction Cycle, which allows the weapon to have a fairly high rate of fire from its initial burst of damage, making short work of enemies in quick succession.
YouTuber Arekkz released a video that shows just how quickly Nemesis Star can decimate anything in front of it. Since the weapon’s main perk activates with every trigger pulled, as opposed to the first triggered pulled at the beginning of a magazine, it essentially turns the machine gun into a high damage pulse rifle. So Guardians can vary between a constant stream of damage that slowly tapers off, like most machine guns, or they can utilize short bursts to deal quick, heavy damage to enemies at closer range; it’s very versatile.
