A Nemesis chest offers a strong opportunity for Epics, blueprints, and Legendary equipment tied to faction progression.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Areas populated by the hostile faction for which your character has reached Nemesis Infamy. Spawn locations vary across the faction’s territory.
Nemeses are powerful faction enemies that become eligible after your Infamy with a hostile faction reaches Nemesis status. Once unlocked, the Nemesis can spawn in areas where that faction is present, so this is a roaming hunt rather than a fixed boss route. Defeating one gives access to a reward chest with a high chance of an Epic and improved chances for blueprints and Legendary items. The first task is reaching the status; the later loop is patrol, fight, and collect.
Increase Infamy with a hostile faction until the Faction Window shows Nemesis status.
Know which regions contain that faction and have access to those areas.
Bring a build prepared for one of the game’s toughest faction encounters.
Open the Faction Window and select a hostile faction whose Nemesis rewards interest you.
Raise its Infamy by killing members and completing relevant faction bounties.
Confirm Nemesis status before spending time searching for the Nemesis enemy.
Travel through areas where that faction appears and clear or scan its packs as you progress.
When the Nemesis spawns, engage carefully and defeat it before opening the reward chest.
Collect the chest contents and inspect Epics, blueprints, and Legendary gear for build value.
Continue patrolling faction areas in later play when you want another encounter.
Farming tips
Faction enemies can add pressure through extra spawns as Infamy rises; build for the enemy type before the status unlocks.
Use the map and normal campaign travel to cover territory, since the Nemesis can appear in many eligible areas.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable after Nemesis status is reached, but the enemy’s appearance is not guaranteed in a particular area or pass. Status progression is a one-time unlock per character and faction.
Common mistakes
Searching before reaching Nemesis status: verify Infamy in the Faction Window first.
Expecting a fixed spawn point: patrol multiple areas inhabited by the faction.
Assuming the chest guarantees a Legendary: it has improved odds, while its contents remain random.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you obtain the target blueprint or gear upgrade, or when the faction’s territory search becomes inefficient; switch to another faction or a fixed boss farm.
