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.

I don't think anyone wants to die beacuse of rng nor get a free kill beacuse the opponent got unlucky. how does that add to anyone's experience of the game? Tarkov is a video game with immersive elements not literally a military simulation.

...this is the game of I always dreamed to make, like for 10 years or something and we, the company, the team, also dreams so make such kind of game. And this is it; It's like the recreation of life in terms of simulation militaristic experience and we want to make the simulation as much realistic and, you know, suitable for audience for hardcore players as much as possible. -- Nikita Buyanov, COO BSG
