First up we are transferring to the final version of Unreal engine! This is a big deal for us and a milestone we worked on for a while now. Not only does it allows us more options on the backend end of things and more options to develop features, but it also has more optimized packet ending and streaming features in in it. But what does this mean to you, the player?
It means that you will see better performances on the game than before and it means you have more and better things to look forward to in the future.

PSA if you are still playing on Windows 7 OS like a dinosaur and the game won't boot up, please delete the Saved folder found at C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\SCUM\



We are adding a couple of new attachments for you. Let's start with some suppressors. Everyone love suppressors! Not only do they look cool, they also make you feel super tactical and make you think you shoot better with them equipped when in reality your aim is still the same.



This is a new collection of suppressors for the AWP and the AWM rifles.

Next up we have a new under-rail attachment for the M1911.



It can go on all versions of the 1911 and it allows you to attach flashlights to your handgun (and gives way to attach future attachments to it wink wink).

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.


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.


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.




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!




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!




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.




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.




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.

• Buffed all munitions damage.
  
• Included new pass on translations.

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.


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 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.

• Fixed the bug where mushrooms would disappear if picked up with full inventory.

• Inventory panel will now be hidden when selecting new face for plastic surgery.
