It has a max damage of 792 after powerup and slice. I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet but if anyone is interested I will post more information about the damage this bad boy dishes out. So far I haven't seen anyone post a weapon with much damage yet. What are your thoughts?

Guard it with your life and keep praying they un nerf them. I got 2 within the 211-595 range of damage, ones been repaired a few times, it wont last long. Hope and pray the devs come to they're senses and give us back pre nerfs.

the road of the rifleman is hard and labourous my son.

once you reach the end of the journey for your self you and can see ss2 for yourself then ask yourself if you really need a per nerf T21

Eh back in the day there were lots of those guns, but I did just fine without it. I have a prenerf, started at 450 max damage but it got a speed slice (29% speed slice, but speed nonetheless). So whatever, no biggee. It's just a gun, don't get too worried about it. Especially when they start dishing out 20% decay on weapons I've found that for me, it doesnt' really matter if I put out all that extra damage... if it's that close, I'm probably gonna die anyway.

before they nerfed the missions on endor i got around 500k from them and bought myself 2 pre-nerf t-21s. The stats in dmg are about the same as yours but the speed is around 9.1 seconds and the aim modifyers are worse than current production t-21s.

Point of my post is that this gun is gonna have to hang on your wall when the AUTOMATIC 3% decay rate for incap and death goes live. Not to mention the 20% additional decay if you forget to insure on the planet, or hit the wrong button or anything. These guns will soon be phased out by this new rule. Its a shame.

On another note,on my server the pre-nerf rifle has a little thing, like a downturned muzzlebreak on the barrel tip, I can see it, but no one else can unless I show em in the trade window. Is that the same for you?

I have to admit, I don't need a pre-nerf T21. I have at least 15, yes that's right, 15 pre-nerf T21 rifles that I don't use. They're just decoration in my house. If you play on my server and want to see, just send me a tell, I'm glad to show it off.

Now onto why I don't use them. First and foremost, they cost me a lot of money, at least half of them did. And once they sped up decay rates on weapons, there was no way I was going to use one to see it go to waste when I try to repair it with a 99.3% effectiveness repair kit. The second reason is, I don't have to. Post-nerf T21 rifles on my server routinely do at least 350 damage unsliced. If I get a nice damage slice, it's easily above 400. And at master rifleman, firing a weapon that does 400 damage every second is powerful enough in my mind. I've hit strafeShot2 for 3700 damage with the post-nerf rifles. I say that's good enough.

Fact of the matter is, pre-nerfs aren't worth it. Paying 300K-600K for a weapon that will last you one or two weeks, maybe three, that is if you don't break it when trying to repair it, is just not worth it. I go through a rifle every two weeks, if it doesn't break. Yes I do that much combat, it's nuts.
