Hello everyone guess what? Another Monday another update! We are on a roll here! This one is a big one for all of you fellow gun nuts but also fixes some of the major issues we were having, so check it out!
So let' start with the theme of this patch guns, guns, guns! We are adding a lot of new weapons. Some regular, some very special to us and some that will blow your mind, literally.
HS produkt
Let's start of with something we are proud we can represent. We are introducing the Croatian made, high quality arsenal to the island! From their world famous handguns to the advanced and reliable VHS platform. As their moto says: Expect the best.
VHS-2
The now standard rifle of the Croatian armed forces. VHS-2 is a bullpup 5.56 NATO assault rifle. Due to the bullpup modular platform it has all of the benefits of longer barrel but in shorter package as the firing mechanism is set behind the trigger. Available in 2 versions: with the standard rail carrying handle and the integrated 1.5X optical red dot sight. Both look amazing and preform at peak efficiency. Versatile, modular, accurate and maneuverable this bad boy will surely be a favorite once you get your hands on one.
And yes on the integrated red dot version you can switch between sights.
VHS-BG
The Croatian boomstick! The fun tube! The yeet launcher! The "To whom it may concern" delivery system!
The VHS-BG is double action single-shot 40×46 mm grenade launcher. It has a mechanical sight system to help you aim your grenade at multiple ranges and comes in a compact size!
HS9 & SF19
Here we are with the greatest hits! The HS and the SF line handguns!
The SF line is perfect adaptable service pistol for every tactical situation you can encounter. Chambered in 9mm and with a magazine capacity of 19 rounds it is one of the highest capacity while keeping excellent performance and reliability.
The HS9 line is the perfect compact solution for your everyday carry. But it's small size is only a testament to "big things come in small packages". Also chambered in 9mm it has a capacity of 13 rounds in the magazine.
Now let's get to the rest of the rifles you will encounter!
AWP & AWM
We have 2 new sniper rifles for you. The .308 (yes new caliber is here) AWP and the .338 (another one) AWM rifles. High power and reliable, packed with a rail system for easy scope mounts these rifles will surely be a favorite choice for all of you bush wookies.
Hunter reforged & Hunter carbon.
Presenting the refreshed old and the brand new! The old Hunter 22 has been revamped! it now has a 12 round magazine giving you the needed extra shots. And introducing the new Carbon hunter: the more powerful brother of the regular hunter, this one is chambered in the good ol fashioned 30-06.
Improvised grenade launcher.
I don't think I need to tell you anything about this one. Just be careful where you point it.
Potential fix for vehicles falling through terrain.
Fixed some icons issues.
Fixed the bug where grenades would sometimes cause crashes.
Happy Monday, we are back with more content for you all! This one has a lot of info so read it carefully before returning to the island!
To start off we have went more in depth with our fishing environment. As any well experienced fisherman will tell you there are more conditions on what fish you want to catch. So it makes sense we add that to SCUM as well. So now there are multiple ones you have to take into consideration when going fishing including:
Time of day.
Size of the body of water.
The bait you use.
And the quality of the line.
We prepared these nifty little charts for you so you don't have to think about it too much and can just glance at them. A picture is worth a 1000 words after all.
Here is another big one. We have completely reworked the way you can gain Strength and Condition attributes. The previous system was outdated and a lot of new features implemented did not affect it so we decided a bit of a revisit on it.
Condition
Previously CON gain was tied to the velocity of prisoners movement only. This has been completely changed. CON gain now depends on multiple parameters:
Action difficulty.
Weight load.
Terrain: Uphill/Downhill.
So let's take for an example you are sprinting (high difficulty action) on a flat terrain with no weight. We can take that gain rate and say it's base gain rate and let's say it's value is 1. Then if we add weight, with clothes/gear on your prisoner the CON gain rate will rise depending on the weight value. And if you start running uphill you will add more gain rate depending on the steepness of terrain.
This applies to all movement stances: walk, jog, run, limp, crawl, crouch, swim etc.
Alright so let's cover the CON gain in vehicles now as well. Some vehicles require the prisoner to use his body to move. This influences the CON gain as well. On rowboats and bicycles the gear has no effect on the gain because the prisoner is sitting down, and the action difficulty decreases when you already have inertia so it's easier to pedal/row. The rest of the parameters follow the movement gain logic.
Strength
Strength gain works similarly to CON gain. The difference is that STR gain is more influenced by weight load while CON gain is more influenced by task difficulty parameter. STR gain also differentiates itself from CON in one important aspect: it is influenced by existing STR attribute.
That means if you are STR lvl 1 and you are running with 20kg on you, you will have more STR gain than a character with STR lvl 2 as you need more weight to increase muscle mass the stronger you are.
We do have another POI to introduce as well. Are you need in some medical supplies? Some of those highly sought clean bandages? Well the new hospital is your next destination my friend! Located in the B0 sector and long abandoned it will surely give you the creeps while you are looking for those anti-biotics.

Well long time no see, but we are back with another update. This one has some major changes so pay close attention!
Alright, this one is a big one and contains a lot of information so pay attention. You wanted more metabolism and we are here to deliver. Contamination and infections are now active and a real threat to prisoners.
Let's take it slow. What are infections? Well, it's an invasion and growth of germs/microbes in the body. And the most common way to get it is on unclean and non-sanitized open wounds. So let's talk about that.
From now on when you get a bleeding wound, depending on the clothes you have on, if any, and their cleanliness your wounds can now get Contaminated. The levels of contamination are as follows.
No clothes: 0%
Completely clean Clothes: 50%
Completely dirty clothes: 100%
So the level of contamination from clothing varies on how clean/dirty they are.
No clothes, since nothing is contaminating the clothes there is no contamination part on the toolbar.
Putting a clean clothing item rises the wound contamination to around 50%.
Putting dirty clothing item on rises the contamination level to around 100%
If you have a wound on your legs and you pissed your pants the contamination will rise to 75%, so despite what your grandparents told you it is not a good idea to piss on an open wound.
Alright, we have that covered but you might be wondering: Ok but there is a lot of information on this tooltip right now, what does it mean? Worry not friends I will explain it all right away.
First off we have the Contamination bar. This is a useful bar that will automatically show you the progress of your contamination level and its rising or falling rate.
Next up we have External Pathogens and Wound germs. These are the bacteria that are entering your body and can lead to infections. External pathogens are all the bacteria that come from outside sources, like explained dirty clothes or dirty bandages, which we will touch upon in a bit. Wound germs can manifest inside of the wound if enough External pathogens are introduced to it. The total contamination rising level is the 2 of them added up.
Now we have your Immune system. The Immune system is the ability of your own body to combat outside bacteria with its own defensive mechanism. The strength of your Immune system depends on your Constitution stat. The Immune system can be boosted with antibiotics again more on that down below.
So how do you combat Contamination? Well by disinfecting the wound and or using the right bandages. Medical items are all disinfected. Rags have the same Contamination level as clothing. Clean rags are 50%, dirty ones 100%. But we added another rag type available to craft: aseptic rag. All you need is a clean rag and some isopropyl alcohol. Then just select the rag and you can disinfect it.
You can also apply the alcohol, or absinthe also works in these cases, directly on your wound to disinfect it, but be careful tho. On open surfaces, the alcohol starts to evaporate after a while so you will have to maintain the cleanliness of the wound. You can do that by removing bandages and adding new ones or cleaning the wound again. That is right you can now remove the bandage when you patch up a wound. It's pretty useful when you have a dirty rag to patch up immediately and want to switch out to a clean one when safe to avoid infection.
Bandaged up wounds have a little white arrow on them which you can click and choose to remove the bandage that way.
Ok so we have that covered, now what happens if you have no choice and need to stop bleeding with a dirty bandage or have a bigger wound or maybe multiple, so more bacteria go in and your contamination level reaches 100%. Then an infection manifests. There are 3 stages of the infection.
Depending on which stage the infection is in it will influence your statistics and proficiency for as long as it is active, and will slowly deal damage over time. Once your infection rate fills up stage 3 you will manifest Sepsis in your body.
Note: Your bleeding wound will not exit the recovery state for as long as the infection regarding that wound is still active.
Sepsis is a dangerous state where your infection has already spread so much that your body will start attacking itself. If all of the wounds and infections are left untreated Sepsis will lead to death and will highly impact the performance of your character.
Remember how you can boost your immune system by using antibiotics? This is how you combat infections and sepsis. By taking an antibiotic you can boost your immune system and help it destroy the bacteria that is the source of the infection and help your body close the wound up after it is all gone.
Keep in mind that in case of multiple infected wounds your immune system will need to adjust on all of them accordingly to the severity of those wounds.
Once all of the infections are clear, the sepsis will clear as well and that will get you good to go.
Oh, and there is another thing here. Puppets now cause Wound germs on their hits with their dirty dirty nails so be careful!
We have another NPC trader for you all: the Doctor.
The Doctor sells all kinds of medical items and utilities, after all, health is important but not free in a survival scenario.
Another nifty feature is the new BB door remote. You can place these on any lvl 3 and above BB doors.
The feature contains 2 items, the remote key and remote sensor. Before you can start using it you will need to pair the key to the system in your inventory.
You can pair up to 10 keys to one sensor. But be careful once paired anyone can use it, even the enemy.
Once paired you have a new slot where you can place the sensor.
And then you can either put it in a quick access slot or use it in inventory to open/close doors!
We also have a new weapon for you all, the DT-11B sawed off.
