I think weapon hit and jam percentages are broken

[Dayve]

I'm not sure about hit percentage - that might just be me only noticing when I miss more often than when I hit. I'm pretty sure weapon jam percentage is broken though. My weapon seems to be jamming at a rate of 30% to 50%, rather than the 5% it says on the gun info.

Anybody else seeing this or have I just had super bad luck for my first few hours of the game?

WTF IS WRONG WITH THE WEAPONS JAMMING?

3% my ass! Something is terribly wrong as every single fight I have at least 5 weapon jams, often my weapon jams, unjams and then jams before I can fire a single shot.

Really the devs must have messed up something with the code because it sure as hell doesn't feel like 3-6% chance to jam

[ΛƘ 420]

Heh, I feel the same way dude. Even with 2% my gun got jammed twice in a fight. But I don't mind to be honest, one would expect guns to get rusty and stuff, it's just badly calculated in the stats of the weapon.

luck is a factor

Yea but not when it happens that often. Honestly I don't have any weapon with more than 5% of jamming chance and I still get them jammed pretty often.
Maybe they should add up a 10% in the stats. Say, instead of 6% it'd be 16%, even if the actual chance doesn't change.

That would explain why my guns only jam maybe once every other fight

Reminds me about other game (that suck almost like this one) something about fighting with aliens, where you can't hit ♥♥♥♥ with 85-90% 5 times in a row.

3% is one in thirty shots jams. if you have 5 group members, every one fires six shots, that's 30 shots. so it's quite normal that some weapon will jam in every encounter.

Once you are in the Citadel, buy and equip all of Ranger Bowlings weapons. That should see you right.

get weaponsmithing and use sturdy mags. The skills are there for a reason. Well, most of them.

If you're going to stereotypically troll Xenonauts, at least have the dececy to do it on the Xenonauts forum. I wonder if you're even smart enough to realze that if you rolled a 100-sided die enough times, you will certainly get five rolls in a row that are between 85 and 100. Thus five misses in a row at 85% accuracy is CERTAINLY going to happen.

Ah ♥♥♥♥ it, why don't you take your statistical genius and play the stock market.

EDIT: Why am I even talking to you? You're probably a paid troll for EA.

Sounds more like he's talking about xcom than xenonauts.

You do realize that even with 5% jam chance you do get jams quite often. Especially since you can usually shoot multiple time per turn. Then add in the fact that you can control 7 party members. If they all have 5% jam chance, or worse, guns you should expect someone's gun to jam almost every turn.

Now you know why we in the army always clean our weapons.

Not hiting enemy 4 times in row when u got 87%+ chanse on hit is epic to or Jamming lock when it was 100% chanse bug will be bugs
