Overview
This machine gun is the NX Standard variant of the MG21E. Released first as a reward for the boot camp event, the MG21E Steel will be released to the shop for a 24 hour preview sale (Similar to that of the XM8) from the 30th, to the 31st of March.

Statistically, the MG21E Steel cannot compare to the current best NX standard MGs. For example, the MG36 has the same fire rate, yet more accuracy, portability, and less recoil. However, it can still be used just as well as an M21E, because they are hardly any different, even if the stats differ.

The only advantage to this gun is a massive decrease in spread when crouched. However, it is still larger then the M21E's crouch spread, which may be an advantage, or disadvantage depending on your play style.

This item is more of a novelty then anything else, because of its sleek look and rarity.

Variants

 * MG21E (GP Standard variant)
 * M21E (NX Standard cousin variant)
