One of the most notable things he mentioned is patch 12.11’s ‘possible iteration of weapon malfunctions which will include misfires based on durability.’

Also, the stock weapons from traders might have a ‘range of durability,’ wherein there could be a possibility of having different tiers of weapon durability.
