SCUM - Beda
Hello everyone, hope you are having a good start of the week! No dev update this week but we do have a small hotfix for you and a small community update lined up! So check it out!




  • Fixed the issue where the game could crash randomly.
  • Fixed the issue where Cartridge trap recipe was using BMG ammo incorrectly.
  • Fixed the issue where the PU scope was not available at trader NPCs.
  • Fixed the issue where you could not sell the improvised flamethrower at trader NPCs.
  • Fixed the issue where cooking would do damage to portable stoves.
  • Fixed the issue where SCAR DMR Weapon parts could not be picked up from trader depot.
  • Fixed the issue with facial hair morphs.

  • Fixed the issue where bought Rager vehicles spawned with no locks on them.
  • Fixed the issue where car jacks would disappear in certain situations.


  • Removed the obsolete server settings.
  • Increased puppet spawn distance.



Community update

Now for the community update. We are glad so many of you are enjoying the 0.95 and we want to thank you for leaving your feedback for us. We went through it over the weekend and there was so much of it we decided to address the main things this way.

We are looking into puppet spawning directly to players in a horde situations. We can confirm this is not intended and did not happen during our testing. So any and all details you can send us would be appreciated and a tweak will come soon.

And good news for the private server owners and Single player enthusiasts. We will be adding the settings you requested that will let you tweak the hordes a bit more so stay tuned.

As for the server settings already added, you asked for a better explanation of how it works and some concrete numbers. We are working on a better document to provide to you guys on base values and how it works. There is a lot of data to go through though but you asked for it. ETA for the document will be tomorrow on the 19th of December. Apologies we could not provide it sooner and we promise to give out proper punishment to people responsible. Like eating raw frog legs or something, still thinking about it.

THE WAIT IS OVER!!!! 0.95 THE HORDE UPDATE IS OUT!!!!! Check out everything that awaits you on the island in the last major update until 1.0



Note: Due to huge changes, we will unfortunately need to execute a partial wipe on all servers. All of your skills and gold will remain.





To start off we have done a lot of optimizations on both the server and client. You will see an increase in server performance and it allowed us to implement the new features and prepare the groundwork for future additions. This does mean that there were cutbacks on some things though such as puppets and vehicles no longer trigger mines as it ticked the server way too much. Unfortunately one of the features that took a hit are bunkers. Since there were so many of them active all the time we made some changes to them so listen up:

Abandoned bunkers have been reworked.

Now only 2 out of 17 bunkers are active for 24 hours. The rest are inactive and can be activated with the appropriate keycard.
You can find keycards in police stations and in the radiation zone police station that are regulated by the server settings.
Cards found this way only last 24 hours, after you have found a card from this location you can't find a new one as long as the card you've found exists.

If you manage to find a keycard for your bunker, after opening the main door the bunker will be active for 3 hours.

You can also get keycards from sentries and cargo drops that last for 48 hours. Keycards from sentries and cargo drops are not regulated by server settings and they do not count towards max possible number, you can always get them.

As long as the bunker is inactive, there are no puppets and there is no loot inside.

If you log in to a bunker that is inactive, you will be teleported outside without any loot on you.

If you stay in the bunker that is closing (alerted by SFX) you will be teleported outside and you will lose all your gear.

Below you will also find server settings that can adjust all of this for private servers.



A big thing coming in this update is the Codex. We all know that SCUM is a huge game with a lot of features added throughout the Early Access. And we see the increase of new players getting overwhelmed with it all. So after a long time we updated the tutorials.



On your TAB menu, you can now open up the Codex where you can now easily go through everything you need to know to survive and thrive on the island. It will even take into account if you change any keybinds. Speaking of which, keybinding has also been reworked. Before all of the binds were hard coded and changing them did not really work properly. With the rework it now works like a charm AND gives you more options to change your binds. Go nuts!

But that is not all:



At the start, you can choose what level of survival tips you want. For those already familiar with the game feel free to turn it off. Everybody else can adjust it accordingly on how much help they need.

This can be changed in the Options menu as well.




YES! FINALLY! The pickup is back, in all of its 6 seated, now modular glory!







Now called the Rager, it will be familiar to all of you who have been with us for a while now. For those of you who are not, you have something to look forward to. This massive gas guzzler can fit 6 people and so much load in it, that it can open a new streaming meta.



You have asked, we have teased. Now it is finally here! The crafting rework is here! Bringing with it all the biggest QoL additions requested.



From the start, you can see that UI is much more pleasant and intuitive. Starting from the search bar at the top of the list. The ability to choose from items in inventory and vicinity while crafting to categories and favorite options for quick access to most crafted items. Not only that but you have 3 highly important buttons on the bottom as well.

Let's go from left to right.

1) Will give you the materials needed details. This will put you on the screen that used to be on the left. But different.



From here you can see something new here as well. Just like at traders, you can now immediately choose how many you want to craft. That is right, no longer do you have to click for every single arrow. Do you have 10 sticks? Craft 10 arrows immediately.

2) Autocraft. Self-explanatory, this will continue to craft the item for as long as you have the materials to do so.

3) Confirm craft button. When you choose what and how many you want to craft just press that button and do whatever you want while your character crafts it.

To favorite your crafting item on this screen you can see a little star on the top left of the icon.

A big note is we also changed how skill requirement works. As of now all of the items craftable are available to all players. What changes depending on your skill level are the materials needed to craft.
So a character with a higher Survival/Engineering skill (depending on the item) will use fewer resources to craft the same item compared to what a character with lower skill would need.

All that and much more, crafting will now be a much more pleasant experience!



Let's talk about the feature which named the update. The horde. A lot of changes hit puppets and their behavior, all of them making a major impact on the flow of island exploration.



On the island, there are now 3 types of zones everywhere.
  • High threat zone (HTZ) - Encounters with puppets are imminent. Not being careful will all but certainly trigger the horde to come down on you.
  • Medium threat zone (MTZ) - Encounters with puppets are common. Caution is still advised and horde chance is still a big factor.
  • Low threat zone (LTZ) - Encounters with puppets are rare. Chance of a horde is low as well.

So depending on where you are you have a higher chance to trigger the horde.

But what is a horde? Silly question but will answer it anyway my hypothetical imaginary friend. When you enter a POI you will find roaming puppets just as you have before. There is a kicker though, IF you are not careful and silent you will attract the horde. There are 2 ways to trigger a horde:

1) Gunfire, explosions and other loud sounds.
2) A puppet spots you and screams for backup.

When the horde is triggered puppets will come for you from all sides with numbers depending on how many players are in the area.

So you might think ok, no big deal, I will just get inside and wait them out. Nope, not a viable tactic anymore.





Puppets can now vault through windows and bash through doors. Do not say you have not been warned. And yes do not worry, they can not open locked doors and will even ignore BB doors.

And of course, we have added server settings to tweak all of this from horde probability to the number of puppets. Go nuts.

All of this is possible due to our new encounter manager. This great system is managing hordes for now and another spawn which I will let you figure out as a nice surprise. In the future it also allows us to finally add more NPCs as well.



Good news for all of NVIDIA GFX owners as well! We have implemented DLSS 3.5 and NVIDIA Frame generation! So all of you who have your cards that support it, give it a go you should see a massive boost in your framerate and we all know more frames means more gamer points.

Note: there is a current known issue if you are in ALT+TAB menu (when you hold ALT+TAB) and your character is in animation it can cause a crash.



Improvised flamethrower

Hey you! Yes, you! You ever wanted to set something on fire, but it was over there and not here? Well, guess what, now you can! Introducing the flamethrower, yep it throws flame!



As the name suggests you will need to craft it and once you do just add some fuel to this bad boi and go nuts!



SCAR DMR

Been a while since we released a new firearm but here we go. And not just any but a new DMR!



Chambered in .308 caliber this crisp Belgium made DMR will make short work of any foe at any distance.

PU scope

Something for the history buffs. Up to this point the ZF scope originally made for the Kar98 rifle was compatible with the Mosin Nagant rifle as well. This was more of a placeholder. But now we have a proper scope for the Mosin, PU scope. Now you can deal with any enemy at the gate.



45 ACP suppressor

In the same way, 45 ACP weapons used a 9mm suppressor as a placeholder. Now we do not have to explain to you guys why firing a bigger round through a smaller hole is not really idealistic, or maybe we do. Nonetheless 45 has its own suppressor now.



Firefighter helmet and clothes

We have a flamethrower so we can say you can put fire in firefighting. You still need a proper uniform though. Firstly we have the new item Firefighter helmet



And secondly, we have reworked the work clothes into firefighter uniforms.

Hello everyone! Happy Monday again. Time for another dev update and this one with an extra twist. A couple of us went over to Reboot Infogamer to represent Gamepires, meet some of you and see who would like to join our team. So let us recap!



We have once again joined the biggest Video game con in our little corner of the world. After 4 years of hiatus it was great to see and meet all of you that have visited us at out booth!





As you can see we also came with a purpose as the game continues to grow, so do wee and we have met quite a few lovely candidates to join our team as well! It was also a blast to all of you that were there and won a shirt through either brains or brawn. If you are wondering how much a SCUM t-shirt is worth, it is 50 pushups! So start pumping to win one next year!

Our Andrej, or as many of you know him as LevaOpaki was also invited to speak about our experiences on a panel but he still regained his spirit even though on stage.





We even had a huge giveaway on stage where you could win all of the SCUM goodies. From t-shirts, bags, notebooks even SCUM keys. Whoever got them hope you enjoy them! And at the end, for those super fans that have knowledge of the game we even held a short quiz where you could win the mythical legendary SCUM jacket!



And in the end it was also great to see all of our colleagues from all corners that have joined us as well, and hang around with some Scumovaca. If you know, you know.

Now as for what the rest of the team was doing, well you can check that out below!
