Automatic fire, RF & Jams

By GauntZero, in Game Mechanics

There is something about automatic fire that I still dont get.

Why is there no higher chance anymore for Weapon Jams due to the multiple bullets fired (which was like that in the past and made sense), but there still is the increased chance for Righteous Fury with multiple hits ?

In my oppinion, it should be both of them (higher risk for higher opportunities) or none of them.

I agree. It seems unbalanced to purely give upsides to auto fire. Game mechanic wise, a gun firing multiple times at a high rate of speed would be a no-brainer that there should be a higher risk for jamming especially when considering the a weapon with the poor weapon quality.

Every additional bullet increases the chance for a jam, so the RoF should have an effect on the jam propability.

I would rather see a RF as a one-time-per-attack instance, if it is seen as the emperors guiding hand.

If it is rather seen as a unfluffy critical hit, then one chance per hit can remain, if the chance for jams go up to balamce this out.
