T-21 strengths and limitations
Why you would choose it
- Its recorded $600 list price made it the cheapest paid assault rifle in the 33-weapon catalogue.
- The 750 RPM input is faster than several more expensive assault rifles in the same test-build record.
- Five recorded part families leave multiple configuration paths to verify in the live build.
What can overturn the pick
- No explicit progression unlock was visible in the available record.
- The model inputs do not describe recoil, accuracy, reload time, or the cost of a complete loadout.
- Price, compatibility, and balance remain Beta 1 observations rather than launch guarantees.

Persistent-cash decision
$600 uses 6% of the stated starting balance
Team17 describes a $10,000 starting balance and persistent cash. Buying the T-21 at its recorded list price would leave $9,400 before ammunition, armour, utility or transport. That replacement risk belongs beside every damage comparison.
Evidence boundary
What these T-21 numbers do—and do not—prove
Price, ammunition, fire modes, weight, XP track, damage and RPM are compiled from dated playable-build records. BULKHEAD has not published an official weapon stat sheet, and a later build can change any of these fields.
The comparison does not measure recoil, reloads, armour, hit location, accuracy, ammunition cost, attachment effects or live pick rate. It is a versioned reference for planning and comparison, not a permanent balance verdict.
