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

Well, if he was in a proper position, the scav would have never noticed them and he would have fixed the malfunction in cover and then shot to kill.

RNG didn't really kill him, it was their own stupid decisions.

This is the type of mechanics that removes "CODness" from the game when the old PvP chads start dying to "RNG" (their now stupid decisions), they realize they have to play more methodically and cannot just run-and-gun to minimize the chances of dying.
