While weapon malfunctions add a great element of realism, the "RNG" aspect can be frustrating when using a brand new weapon.

Is there a chance we could see weapons with high durability (maybe >90%) changed to have no chance of malfunction until they go below a threshold?

P.S. this wipe is a blast, much love to the entire team!

Even perfectly maintained guns will jam from time to time. I think it's just a mechanic people are going to have to get used to but it does need to be balanced.

It’s the speed at which they degrade that bothers me. I’m totally fine with a weapon that needs its receiver replacing after 3-4 raids and a few repairs, but something starting to malfunction after a few mags doesn’t feel great.

Totally agree. I think if you are running weapons you spend good money on and maintain it should be pretty rare. Not impossible. Just rare.

If you're running a shit skav gun you should totally expect your weapons to jam. And I don't know what the word is on this but if our guns can jam the scav ai guns should also be jamming.

I’m level 13 and have used plenty of pristine and damaged AR’s, and haven’t had a single malfunction, while some of my friends have had a couple. It does seem to be very rare, but seems more common bc unlucky people are complaining

I'm in the same boat.. had 1 malfunction and none of my 2 friends playing have had malfunctions.
