Sorry, kinda new at this rifleman thing, but what is a Pre-Nerfed t21 that everyone is say. What got nerfed recently or is it just that they made laser rifle better so there is no point in using one.

A Pre-Nerf T21 is a T21 that was made before it got hit with the nerf bat. These weapons were (correct me if I am wrong) from about 150-500 damage.

SocialConformer is correct.

There have actually been three "incarnations" of the T21 if I remember correctly.
In the first incarnation,we had "normal" T21s that were similar to what we have today. We riflemen b*tched that it wasn't much better, if any,than a Laser and that it should be our defining weapon, etc. Lo and Behold a patch came along and raised the T21 power to a very nice level. This is the second incarnation that SocialConformer mentions above. This lasted about one day. maybe two. All of a sudden the devs make a post that says basically "We are scared that you guys can do too much damage so we are taking away the power we just gave you." So they nerfed it back to today's levels. Talk about teasing a rabid animal! Jeez! The ultimate insult was when they came along and gave commandos weapons that do THREE times the damage.

Many people in that brief period of power wisely bought T21s. These are the pre-nerf ones. I have one I still use for mind bleeds and other shots occasionally. It is better than today's but not as powerful as some of the other pre-nerf ones, and it is wearing out. Many people are proud to own them and keep them on the wall of their house, I think.

i wonder what you could sell a preNerfed t-21 for now? i didnlt have the 300K someone was asking for a week after the nerf patch, othewise i would have bought it and saved for PvP. I guess i just started playing about 2 weeks too late. If anyone actually is willing to sell a pre nerfed on i would be very interested
