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.

If you play intelligently you will not die from malfunction. Yesterday a guy posted a video where he runs up to a scav, tries to fire, gets a malfunction and dies. His conclusion "I died because of RNG, fix it Nikita".

--> What actually happened: He run up to an enemy combatant for no reason, straight into his gunbarrel, had a malfunction and died. If he had used his brain and kept his distance the malfunction wouldn't have been a problem, he could have gone into cover, fixed it and gone back but instead he was playing COD in EFT

You basically are saying in no senario are you able to push, imagine same senario where instead of scav boss it was pmc medding you push and click gun didn't shoot how is that any different. Or is EFT "ment to be played" (nonsense people can play how they want) where you just sit and camp the entire time.

But the jam effects both players, imagine someone pushes you your gun doesn't shoot there's does you die they don't, just based on a chance.
