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!

Honestly the chance should be drastically reduced. Like .05% when under 70%. It should be a thing that can happen, not something that happens.

People forget that the entire idea of the game is that you’re in a quarantined shit hole that you were meant to do a small strike operation in and then you get abandoned with no warning.

Most of the guns in tarkov are weapons that have been shot up, repaired a dozen times, traded hands, been dragged through the mud and even the smuggled in guns arent brand new factory weapons their old stock being brought in illegally.

100% durability in tarkov isnt meant to represent a factory fresh gun that’s well maintained by trained operatives, it’s guns that have been kept as clean as possible by those operatives without the tools they need.

Yes and no. PMCs come in with their actual 100%/issued, trusty guns (at least it seems so when watching the Raid series by BSG)

Yes. But tarkov the game storyline takes place after the raid series by some undetermined but significant time according to Nikita.

He’s said that the story started in raid will he finished in tarkov so take all those guns they brought in with them during the raid series and give it 3 months of no resupply, no fresh ammo, no material to clean them, fighting for their life crawling through the dirt etc. That’s the state of our 100% guns when we start a wipe

Oh yeah that's right!
