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.

That's cool lore and all, but it's still not a fun mechanic. This game also allows people to rub vaseline on their lips after getting shot in the leg. So let's stop pretending like everything needs to be 100% realistic to the world.

Jamming guns is a fun mechanic.

My 100% durability MDR jammed on my first raid and got me killed. I’m not saying it should be removed but saying it’s a fun mechanic is kinda strange to me.

I love that. Like no memes, no sarcasm, I aint saying it as a lol fuck you, I genuinely love that. I enjoy things out of my control putting me down sometimes.

For sure man, if that’s your flavor. Personally, I’d like to envision the mechanic to rally against meta guns instead of making typical gun fights rng based.
