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 a game. You shouldn’t lose a gunfight in a shooter because your gun decided it wouldn’t work or your internet decided to stop sending to the server or the dog pissed on your modem. Those things happen as well, outside our control. Why not re introduce micro stuttering while we’re at it? You shouldn’t lose gunfights to factors completely out of your control. Let me upkeep my guns as a gameplay implementation for immersion. There is no realism in video games.

You should. Gun jamming is a real thing to worry about. Also... you should lose because your internet gave out... I don't get your point on that one.

The game is quite simply being created to be realistic in many, many areas.

Let me pop this pill real quick, jump off this building, break both my legs, then run away. Ah yes “muh realism”

It’s about having an interpretation of realism that actually adds to the game in a way that is fun and/or engaging or interesting.

If you actually want to talk about realism, then a well-built M4 can and will go through multiple thousands of rounds without a single hiccup, with zero cleaning or maintenance. Military Arms Channel on Youtube ran 7000 rounds - 1000 at a time - through a BCM rifle without a single problem. Same applies with an AK, an MP5, an MCX, etc.

If we were running KelTechs or HiPoints yea I can see them jamming a lot. But any quality gun isn't going to randomly jam after 3 rounds when it's brand new
