What does this setting do?

Every shot costs durability, and this multiplier sets how much. At 0 weapons never wear from firing; at 2.0 they wear twice as fast as intended.

The value governs demand for cleaning kits and spare parts, and therefore a steady reason to visit a trader or go looking. On servers awash with ammunition it is a good counterweight: shoot a lot and you have to maintain.

Relaxed PvE

0.5.

Classic PvP

1.0.

Hardcore

1.0 to 1.5.

What to watch out for

Automatic weapons suffer most

Sustained fire burns durability in seconds. A high value therefore hits automatics harder than single fire — often the intent, but worth knowing.
